Liquid-cooled data center firm Colovore has launched a new all-liquid facility in San Jose, California.
“We’ve officially opened our newest Silicon Valley data center - meet Colovore SJC02,” the company said on LinkedIn over the weekend. “This cutting-edge facility delivers 6MW of ultra-dense, liquid-cooled capacity, purpose-built for the kind of demanding AI workloads our strategic partner Synopsys Inc. is driving forward.”
Launched in 2013, Colovore carved out an early niche for liquid-cooled racks capable of up to 35kW. The company launched its original single-story, 24,000 sq ft (2,230 sqm) facility at 1101 Space Park Drive in Santa Clara, California in 2014, with the last 2MW expansion announced in February 2022.
The company announced plans to build a second 9MW facility, known as SJC02, on a neighboring plot in November 2022. The facility, located at 3060 Raymond Street, can support densities up to 250kW per cabinet through a combination of rear door and direct-to-chip liquid cooling.
Previously owned by Digital Realty Trust and Silicon Valley real estate development firm Pelio & Associates, investment firm King Street acquired the company last year.
At the time of the acquisition, the company noted plans to expand and has since detailed plans for facilities in Reno, Nevada, and Chicago, Illinois. Ground has reportedly been broken on the Reno site.
Colovore recently filed to develop a facility in the Hutto area of Austin, Texas, but is yet to officially announce the project.
Cerebras, Lambda Labs, and Cirrascale, amongst others, are known customers of Colovore.
