The MCDU-70 is the highest-capacity CDU available from Motivair, and presents a breakthrough flexible and scalable solution for meeting the rigorous demands of next-generation GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit) and gigawatt-scale AI Factories.

Utilizing Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure software, Motivair’s CDUs operate as a centralized system—meeting today’s cooling requirements with the ability to scale to 10MW+ for next-gen HPC, AI and accelerated computing workloads.

Compact and efficient, the MCDU-70 is the newest addition to Motivair’s CDU line, providing cooling power without compromise by preserving full flow performance and facility pressure at gigawatt scale. Its capacity aligns perfectly with the needs of large-scale facilities, such as NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint, where deployments target 10MW to reach gigawatt scale. At 2.5 MW each, six MCDU-70s can provide a 4+2 redundancy for these designs, and the unit’s capacity is fit to service NVIDIA’s GPU roadmap for the foreseeable future.

With the addition of the MCDU-70, Schneider Electric’s end-to-end liquid cooling portfolio, now offers CDUs ranging from 105kW to 2.5MW, meeting current and future performance requirements. Each CDU is scalable and integrates seamlessly with other units and Schneider Electric’s software to deliver precise and reliable cooling capacity for data center operators. The MCDU-70 is now available to order globally via Schneider Electric’s advanced manufacturing hubs in North America, Europe and Asia. For more information, visit the website.
