Oklo Inc., an advanced nuclear technology company; and Vertiv, a global leader of critical digital infrastructure, have collaborated focusing on the co-development of advanced power and thermal management solutions tailored specifically for hyperscale and colocation data centers, powered by steam and electricity from Oklo’s advanced nuclear power plants.
In response to surging data center power demand in the U.S., Oklo and Vertiv are joining forces to revolutionise data center operations through an integrated solution that co-optimises power and cooling, with Oklo’s reliable clean energy generation and Vertiv’s specifically designed advanced power and thermal management systems.
By leveraging heat from Oklo’s onsite power plant to drive Vertiv’s cooling systems, the collaboration will significantly enhance data center energy efficiency. This approach delivers resilient power for demanding AI and high-performance computing operations while reducing environmental impact. The companies will work together to produce end-to-end reference designs for data centers that use Oklo’s onsite power plants.
Commenting on the project, Jacob DeWitte, Co-Founder and CEO of Oklo, said, “This agreement is about delivering clean power, energy-efficient cooling, and infrastructure solutions purpose-built for AI factories, data centers, and high-density compute. We are developing a plant concept that leverages proven, off-the-shelf components without altering the core design of our plants. Vertiv is an expert in cooling and power innovation for data centers and critical infrastructure, so co-designing these solutions from the outset, we can create greater value and efficiency for data center and infrastructure operators.”
