Insights

Data Center Infrastructure Analyst

Flex's JetCool launches innovative self-contained liquid cooling that cuts IT power by 15% without facility modifications, strengthening Dell partnership.

JetCool's new SmartPlate System represents a significant advancement in data center cooling technology. The fully sealed, direct-to-chip liquid cooling solution delivers 15% total IT power savings according to third-party testing, which directly addresses one of the most pressing challenges in modern data centers: power consumption and thermal management.

What makes this solution particularly valuable is its self-contained nature - it requires no facility water connections or infrastructure modifications. This immediately opens the technology to colocation facilities and data centers without specialized cooling infrastructure, substantially broadening the addressable market. The ability to deploy in warm ambient environments while maintaining performance further differentiates this solution from traditional air cooling systems that struggle with higher temperatures.

The Dell PowerEdge integration is strategically important, providing an established distribution channel through one of the largest enterprise server manufacturers. This partnership allows Flex to scale JetCool's technology rapidly without building a separate sales infrastructure.

From a business perspective, this represents Flex's continued expansion beyond traditional manufacturing into higher-margin technology solutions addressing critical infrastructure needs. The liquid cooling market is experiencing accelerated growth driven by AI workloads and high-density computing, which generate substantially more heat than traditional workloads. By eliminating the need for facility water connections, JetCool removes a major adoption barrier that has limited liquid cooling deployments.

This product positions Flex favorably in the rapidly expanding green data center market, where power efficiency directly translates to operational cost savings and expanded compute capacity within existing power envelopes.
