Castrol Launches Integrated Thermal Management Offer for Data Centres

Castrol has launched Castrol CORE, a new end-to-end offer for its data centre thermal management business, in response to rising demand driven by AI and high-performance computing. The offering is designed to help customers manage increasingly complex cooling requirements from early-stage design through to daily operations.

Castrol CORE represents a shift from Castrol's previous product-led cooling proposition to an integrated, service-led approach. It brings together a network of product, infrastructure, design, and service partners, providing customers with a single point of contact across the value chain rather than requiring coordination with multiple suppliers. The company's research indicates a growing demand for experienced partners who can simplify complex cooling requirements and mitigate supply chain challenges and high costs of failure.

Central to the offer are Castrol's cooling technologies, which have been tested and validated with leading chip and hardware manufacturers, including NVIDIA and Intel. This aims to assure customers that the technology can keep pace with next-generation AI infrastructure. The offer is backed by Castrol's global network of technology and testing facilities, including labs in multiple countries and a service provider network spanning over 150 countries. This network enables continued on-ground testing, validation, and monitoring throughout a facility's lifetime, helping customers reduce the risk of costly downtime.

Castrol states that customers are seeking experienced partners to help solve the complete thermal management challenge. Castrol CORE combines proven technology, global reach, and design expertise to work with customers at every stage of a project. The company has established a regional data centre design team in the Asia-Pacific region to support the implementation of new cooling infrastructure and has completed a proof-of-concept program with a leading data centre operator in China.
