A Northern Virginia hyperscale data center built resilient cooling water infrastructure with redundant treatment capacity to protect uptime, maintain compliance and support uninterrupted operations.

How water-smart engineering unlocks energy efficiency and carbon reduction

A global leader in data center infrastructure set out to build a large-scale, high-performance computing campus in South Central U.S. Built for extreme performance— with redundant electrical topologies, full UPS and battery backup, and very high rack densities —the facility required an equally resilient water filtration system to support primary chilled water and adiabatic chiller cooling. With multi‑gigawatt‑scale power capacity, every system had to be engineered around a single imperative: continuous operation.

ebook explores how liquid cooling can help data centers meet growing AI-driven demands while improving water and energy efficiency through a a system-level approach.

Xylem’s approach goes beyond component supply, providing a full-service, consultative model for data centre operators, builders, and consultants. Its remit covers everything from cooling and heat recovery to HVAC, firefighting, and wastewater management. In essence, it’s a one-stop shop for water and thermal systems in modern data centres.

As energy performance requirements tighten, the need for ultra-efficient pumping solutions is growing fast. Xylem’s ecocirc S, M and L circulators meet this challenge head-on.

Discover how shared infrastructure helps data centres improve efficiency, strengthen resilience, optimise water and energy resources, and create long-term value for communities and operators.

Matt Johnson explains how combining high-efficiency smart motors with monitoring tools and digital technology can significantly reduce water waste in data centers.

Lowara empowers industry with smarter pumping solutions that cut energy costs, keep operations running, and secure sustainable water management. Reliable performance today, responsible resources for tomorrow.

Data centres are under growing technical, regulatory and public pressure. Energy, water and carbon aren’t side issues to manage after commissioning.

Xylem’s Ann Perreault explains why water is becoming a defining factor in how data center projects are planned and delivered.

Water is becoming a critical factor in industrial and AI-driven growth. Learn how data centers, semiconductor manufacturing and power generation are increasing water demand, why water scarcity is becoming a business risk, and how organizations can strengthen long-term water security.
