This strategic partnership grants BAC exclusive rights to DUG's proven and patented immersion-cooling technology designed for high-density data centers.
BAC has secured an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with DUG Technology.
The needs of data center customers are rapidly changing and cooling technologies are evolving to handle the increased heat loads associated with A.I. and machine learning. Cooling challenges include the need for more power, more floor space, increased cooling equipment complexity and higher operating costs. DUG’s innovative solution allows data center operators to achieve higher compute densities at world-class energy efficiency levels within the same space. This development transforms data center infrastructure designs with lower energy usage and carbon impact.
By integrating DUG's immersion-cooling technology, BAC expands its portfolio of evaporative, hybrid and dry cooling products to now include indoor immersion cooling solutions to provide data center customers with even more advanced options to meet their future cooling needs.
"This partnership with DUG represents a significant milestone for BAC," said Don Fetzer, President, BAC. "By incorporating DUG's advanced immersion-cooling technology, we are taking a major step forward in providing sustainable, next-generation cooling solutions for data centers. Our combined expertise along with our global manufacturing footprint ensures we continue to lead the way in addressing the challenges of high-density computing, in line with our vision of reinventing cooling to sustain the world."
DUG's Managing Director Matt Lamont said, "This new partnership between BAC and DUG is poised to revolutionize the data center cooling market. Our patented DUG Cool design has been refined through production use for over a decade. Our Skybox data center in Houston is among the largest single-phase immersion-cooling deployments in the world. This agreement will pair our design, know-how and reputation with BAC's scale, manufacturing prowess and respected brand to position us to take advantage of a shifting and rapidly expanding data center cooling market. We very much look forward to working with BAC as part of this agreement."
