Infosys and ExxonMobil Deepen Collaboration on Advanced Data Center Cooling Solutions
In a significant move toward sustainable digital infrastructure, Infosys has announced the expansion of its strategic partnership with ExxonMobil. The collaboration focuses on the development and deployment of ExxonMobil Data Center Immersion Fluids, specialized cooling solutions designed to dramatically improve energy efficiency and optimize power utilization in data centers worldwide.
How the Partnership Will Transform Data Center Operations
The enhanced collaboration will leverage three key technological components: ExxonMobil's advanced immersion fluids, Infosys Topaz, and Infosys Cobalt. Together, these elements will create sophisticated cooling systems specifically engineered for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing workloads that demand exceptional thermal management.
Infosys Topaz, the company's AI-first service suite utilizing generative AI technologies, will enable real-time optimization of cooling operations. This intelligent system supports comprehensive energy use management, predictive maintenance capabilities, and the development of sustainable infrastructure through continuous monitoring and adjustment.
Infosys Cobalt, a comprehensive collection of services and platforms for cloud migration, will provide the foundational framework for deploying these advanced cooling solutions across diverse cloud and data center environments. The platform ensures seamless integration and operational support for enterprise clients adopting the new technology.
Target Industries and Implementation Strategy
The partnership will prioritize solutions for hyperscale cloud providers, global enterprises, and public sector organizations across multiple critical industries. Key sectors identified for implementation include:
- Financial services and banking institutions
- Telecommunications networks and providers
- Manufacturing and industrial operations
- Energy sector companies and utilities
- Government agencies and public infrastructure
This initiative represents a substantial extension of Infosys' ongoing commitment to energy innovation, decarbonization efforts, and cross-industry technological partnerships that address pressing environmental challenges while meeting growing computational demands.
