Bridged Data Centres (BDC), in collaboration with Vertiv, is advancing next-generation data centre capabilities through a flagship liquid cooling project in Malaysia (MY07). Designed to support high-density, AI-driven workloads, this project reflects the growing demand for more efficient and scalable digital infrastructure. Supporting High-Density AI Workloads As artificial intelligence adoption accelerates, data centres must handle significantly higher power densities. Traditional cooling methods are no longer sufficient. Liquid cooling offers a more effective solution by improving heat transfer, enhancing energy efficiency, and enabling greater compute performance within the same footprint. Full-Scale Factory Testing for Performance Assurance Ahead of deployment, a full 1:1 factory acceptance test (FAT) was conducted to replicate real-world operating conditions. This rigorous validation process ensures that the system meets performance, stability, and integration requirements before installation. The testing approach highlights BDC’s commitment to engineering excellence and delivering reliable, high-performance infrastructure solutions. Strong Collaboration Driving Innovation The MY07 project demonstrates the strength of collaboration between BDC and Vertiv. By combining expertise in data centre development and critical infrastructure technologies, both parties are delivering solutions that meet the evolving needs of AI and high-performance computing environments. Enabling the Future of Digital Infrastructure With increasing demand for AI-ready data centres, liquid cooling will play a critical role in supporting future growth. BDC remains focused on delivering scalable, efficient, and innovative solutions to meet the needs of hyperscalers and enterprise customers across the region.
