Vertiv, Netweb partner to deploy liquid-cooled rack systems for AI data centers in India

Vertiv has announced a collaboration with Netweb Technologies India Ltd. to develop and validate liquid-cooled rack solutions designed for artificial intelligence workloads in data centers. The partnership will combine Netweb’s GPU-based compute platforms with Vertiv’s power and cooling infrastructure.

The companies said Netweb’s rack-scale systems will integrate Vertiv’s liquid cooling technologies, including coolant distribution units and chillers, along with power systems such as busways and uninterruptible power supply units. The integrated systems are designed to manage rising power consumption and heat levels associated with AI training and inference.

The collaboration focuses on rack-level integration where compute, cooling, and power systems are engineered together. This approach is intended to support higher rack densities and reduce deployment time in AI data center environments. Netweb said its GPU-accelerated systems using direct-to-chip cooling can support IT loads exceeding 200 kilowatts per rack.

Vertiv and Netweb both operate engineering and manufacturing facilities in India. The companies said the partnership aligns with efforts to expand domestic production of AI infrastructure and support exports. The engagement also comes as India offers tax incentives and policy support aimed at attracting data center and cloud infrastructure investments.

Netweb’s Tyrone GPU platforms will be among the systems integrated into the joint rack solutions. The companies plan to validate complete rack configurations to ensure compatibility between compute hardware and supporting infrastructure.

Shrirang Deshpande, general manager for strategic planning new business development at Vertiv India, said, “By combining Vertiv’s global expertise in liquid cooling, power, and critical infrastructure with Netweb’s indigenous high-performance compute platforms, such as their latest and most powerful Netweb Tyrone platforms designed using next generation GPUs, we are enabling scalable, future-ready AI infrastructure that is engineered and manufactured in India, for India and global markets.”

Hirdey Vikram, senior vice president at Netweb Technologies, said, “OEM-level collaboration with Vertiv to jointly work strengthens our ability to design and manufacture world’s latest architecture GPU systems and populate with DLC technologies to cross 200KW IT load limits per rack unit. This engagement will support India’s and world’s growing AI ecosystem while delivering high-density and future-ready AI infrastructure for enterprises, cloud providers, and research institutions worldwide.”
