ZutaCore & EGIL Wings launch 15MW AI Vault for green data centres
ZutaCore and EGIL Wings have announced a partnership to deploy sustainable, high-density data centres aimed at the expanding needs of artificial intelligence computing workloads worldwide.
The alliance sees the introduction of a 15MW AI Vault as the initial phase and establishes a template for subsequent projects across North America, Europe, and Asia.
Energy challenge
As demand for AI processing continues to increase, so does the energy and cooling infrastructure required to support these workloads. Traditional cooling approaches are struggling to keep pace with both the heat generated and rising power consumption. ZutaCore's two-phase, direct-to-chip cooling technology operates without water, a growing concern amid ongoing calls for energy and water conservation in the sector. The systems are set to work in tandem with EGIL Wings' microgrid and renewable energy solutions, with a focus on delivering low-carbon environments optimised for rapid, large-scale deployment.
Deployment strategy
The partnership's first project-an AI Vault designed by EGIL Wings-will integrate ZutaCore's HyperCool technology as part of a prefabricated, modular architecture. This approach underpins a wider strategy to align technology, co-development and manufacturing processes for subsequent global rollouts. The platform combines integrated cooling and electrical systems for easier installation and commissioning, while the prefabricated modules are factory tested to support both scalability and consistent reliability.
Expansion plans
ZutaCore's solutions are already deployed in more than 40 sites worldwide, including installations for Equinix, SoftBank, and the University of Münsters. The company's waterless cooling method is designed to allow for higher processor densities and also supports energy recovery and reuse initiatives, which are becoming increasingly important for data centre operators seeking efficiency gains.
"AI data centres are becoming part of the energy factories of the future. Our collaboration with EGIL Wings combines ZutaCore's proven liquid cooling and distributed energy technologies with EGIL Wings' expertise in microgrids and sustainable infrastructure. Together, we're building a new generation of AI energy community ecosystems-faster to deploy, more efficient, and inherently sustainable-beginning with EGIL Wings' 15 MW Vault," said Erez Freibach, Co-founder and CEO, ZutaCore
Sustainability focus
EGIL Wings brings expertise in microgrids, sustainable energy systems, biofuels, and green hydrogen. Their contribution targets improved efficiency and reduction in water and energy usage. Modular and prefabricated designs are expected to not only streamline deployments but also reduce overall costs for future AI data centres.
"ZutaCore's technology is foundational to the type of AI infrastructure EGIL Wings is developing globally. By integrating advanced two-phase liquid cooling with our renewable, modular energy systems, we're able to deliver scalable and efficient AI vaults that dramatically reduce energy and water use. Together, we're setting a new standard for sustainable, high-density compute environments worldwide," said Stephen P. Johanns, CEO of EGIL Wings
Technical foundation
ZutaCore's HyperCool system is the product of a portfolio of intellectual property covering chip-to-system cooling methods. Its technology is compatible with high-performance systems including the NVIDIA HGX B300 server, as shown in the company's collaborations with ASRock Rack. Existing partnerships with firms such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Carrier further embed ZutaCore's technology in the broader data centre market.
