The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Demand for AI data centers is expanding with the spread of generative AI, while the increasing performance of GPUs and CPUs is making it difficult to meet requirements using conventional air-cooling systems. The parties aim to strengthen their ability to provide next-generation AI data center solutions using liquid cooling and immersion technologies, thereby improving data center operating efficiency.
