Tuesday, October 21, 2025
News Summary
-- Flex launches the first globally manufactured data center platform
integrating power, cooling, compute, and services into modular designs.
-- Breakthrough products debut to tackle rising power, heat, and scale
challenges.
-- Backed by Flex's vertically integrated capabilities and global
footprint, the platform is designed for next-generation gigawatt data
centers and enables operators to accelerate deployment by up to 30%.
SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- OCP Global Summit -- Flex (NASDAQ: FLEX) today announced the industry's first globally manufactured, fully integrated platform designed for gigawatt data centers supporting AI and HPC. By uniting power, cooling, compute, and Flex's global services into pre-engineered, modular reference designs for next-generation data centers, the new infrastructure platform enables operators to deploy infrastructure up to 30% faster, reduce execution risk, and scale reliably to meet the pace of AI demand. Flex will highlight the platform and new breakthrough products during the OCP Global Summit in booth B24.
"As AI adoption accelerates, data center operators must overcome rising power, heat, and scale challenges to deploy infrastructure at unprecedented speed," said Michael Hartung, president and chief commercial officer at Flex. "Flex delivers the industry's deepest hardware stack by integrating power, cooling, and compute with vertically integrated manufacturing at scale. Its open architecture provides the flexibility required for faster, more predictable deployments, enabling data center operators to keep up with AI demand."
Integrated platform for rapid, reliable deployment
Traditional bespoke build approaches are more complex and often involve longer construction times, schedule risks, and unpredictable performance and costs. Flex unites the essential building blocks of AI-scale infrastructure, bringing together Flex's portfolio of power and cooling products and rack integration capabilities into pre-engineered designs.
Key advantages include:
-- Faster deployment: Up to 30% faster time-to-market, accelerating revenue
recognition.
-- Integration as innovation: A unified platform that enables rack,
cooling, and power breakthroughs.
-- Deepest hardware stack in the industry: Integration of compute with
critical infrastructure for higher performance and efficiency.
-- Flexible, open architecture: Partner-friendly and adaptable to
customer-preferred OEMs.
-- Lifecycle intelligence: Built-in monitoring, predictive analytics, and
system-level optimization.
New solutions tackle rising power, heat, and scale challenges
The platform debuts with several breakthrough Flex product innovations and capabilities across the full stack:
-- 1MW racks -- High-density, liquid-cooled IT rack and OCP-inspired power
rack, designed to support +/-400V and enable the transition to 800VDC
power architectures for next-generation AI infrastructure.
-- Capacitive Energy Storage System -- First-to-market UL 1973-certified
capacitor energy storage system, reducing electrical disturbances from
AI workloads.
-- Modular rack-level coolant distribution unit (CDU) -- A scalable CDU,
delivering up to 1.8 MW of flexible capacity to support evolving AI,
HPC, and hyperscale workloads, backed by comprehensive global support
and warranty coverage.
-- Prefabricated power pods and skids-- Pre-engineered modular systems
simplify installation, cut onsite labor through parallel construction
and fewer interconnects, and shorten build times. By leveraging offsite
assembly, customers cut weeks from construction schedules and save
thousands of hours of onsite labor, reducing deployment from 12+ months
to just 6-12 months.
Flex's global manufacturing and supply chain network underpins the platform and new products, delivering unmatched scalability, resilience, and deployment speed. In addition, Flex provides global services that support the full lifecycle of AI infrastructure, from design and sourcing through deployment, fulfillment, and circular economy. This ensures customers benefit not only from integrated hardware, but also from end-to-end support that improves reliability, sustainability, and speed to scale.
