: Italian University selects Vertiv for data center infrastructure expansion

The University of Pisa in Italy has selected Vertiv to help extend its existing data center infrastructure and will be providing critical power and cooling systems, including liquid cooling equipment, to enable the university to deploy high-performance computing (HPC) systems and Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads.

Maurizio Davini, CTO at the university said: "We also needed to integrate new technology elements that help to meet the growing demands of high-performance computing, while providing excellent operational flexibility. The requirements have been fully met by Vertiv, which has allowed us to keep energy costs under control for efficient management of our new data center."

The cooling side will feature twenty Vertiv Liebert CRV row-based cooling units and two Liebert PDX-PI direct expansion floor-mount cooling systems with variable speed compressors, as well as three Liebert XDU liquid cooling units, which control the temperature and flow of the refrigerant to the servers in a direct-to-chip application.
