How is Vertiv Validating Liquid Cooling for Intel's Gaudi 3?

Vertiv, a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, today announced a major milestone in its partnership with Intel.

The partnership, which was announced in May 2025, is focused on advancing the development of liquid cooling solutions for data centres.

This milestone in the partnership is the successful validation of Vertiv’s Liebert XDU coolant distribution unit with Intel’s Gaudi 3 AI accelerator.

Advancing the 800VDC power platform

The collaboration has also seen Vertiv become a validated supplier for Intel’s Gaudi 3 AI accelerator, providing a tested and reliable liquid cooling solution for this high-performance chip.

This is a major development for Vertiv as it allows them to offer a complete cooling solution for customers using Intel’s latest AI technology.

The Liebert XDU is a key component of this solution, providing a closed-loop system that circulates coolant to the Gaudi 3 chips, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

The validation of the Liebert XDU with the Gaudi 3 accelerator is a major milestone for Vertiv.

It demonstrates Vertiv’s commitment to innovation and its ability to provide cutting-edge cooling solutions for the most demanding AI workloads.

“Larger AI workloads are reshaping every aspect of data centre design,” Scott says.

He adds: “Powering the next generation of megawatt-scale AI factories requires a fundamental change in power architectures,” Dion says.

Redefining power infrastructure for AI

The successful validation of the Liebert XDU is a milestone in the ongoing partnership between Vertiv and Intel.

The partnership, which was announced in May 2025, is a testament to the shared commitment of both companies to advancing data centre technology.

The collaboration has already yielded major results, and the validation of the Liebert XDU is a clear indication of the progress that has been made.

The Liebert XDU is a state-of-the-art coolant distribution unit that is designed to meet the demanding cooling requirements of high-density data centres.

The unit is capable of supporting racks with a capacity of up to 100kW, making it an ideal solution for cooling the latest generation of AI accelerators.

The successful validation of the Liebert XDU with Intel’s Gaudi 3 accelerator is a major achievement for Vertiv, and it is a testament to Vertiv’s expertise in thermal management.

The validation of the Liebert XDU is a major step forward for Vertiv, and it is a clear indication of Vertiv’s commitment to providing its customers with the most advanced cooling solutions on the market.
