Category
Power & Cooling
Companies involved in data center power systems, thermal management, liquid cooling, power distribution, and grid-facing infrastructure.
Plain-English Explanation
This category covers the physical constraints that decide whether AI systems can be powered, cooled, protected, and operated at high density.
Why This Category Matters
AI data centers can run into bottlenecks before a GPU ever arrives. Grid access, power distribution, UPS systems, heat rejection, and liquid cooling are now strategic infrastructure layers.
