Johnson Controls has leveraged its Silent-Aire solutions to offer the industry's first hyperscale data center platform focused on helping cloud providers meet ambitious sustainability targets. The Johnson Controls Data Center Solutions platform delivers innovative solutions that conserve water and reduce energy consumption, including air-cooled chillers, liquid cooling, combination air handler units, future-ready refrigerants and prefabricated modular data centers.
"Through its Data Center Solutions platform, Johnson Controls is offering something unique and valuable to global hyperscale companies," said Lindsey Leckelt, vice president of Data Center Solutions at Johnson Controls.
