Flex
Flex's genuinely in-house engineering is power and cooling, not GPU compute nodes: the 800 VDC power rack co-developed with NVIDIA for Vera Rubin, JetCool microjet cold plates, and grid-to-chip rack integration. It touches nearly every AI datacenter without ever badging the server. The datacenter segment spins off as a standalone company in 2027.
- Vertically integrated grid-to-chip datacenter model: compute integration plus power distribution plus liquid cooling as complete rack-level solutions, racks rated to 120kW with a stated path to 300kW
- Acquired JetCool (2024) for in-house direct-to-chip microjet liquid cooling: SmartPlate cold plates rated for over 3,000W TDP
- In-house power engineering: 800 VDC Power Rack co-developed with NVIDIA for Vera Rubin, 110kW power shelf, capacitive energy storage
- Turnkey liquid-cooled server integrations on Dell PowerEdge platforms with unified warranty
- Cloud and Power Infrastructure segment being spun off into a standalone datacenter company, expected Q1 2027
| Model | Platform | Form factor | Cooling |
|---|---|---|---|
| 800 VDC Power Rack Co-developed with NVIDIA, scaling toward 880kW per rack on future platforms | Vera Rubin (power) | power rack sidecar | air |
| 110kW power shelf Shown COMPUTEX 2026 with 30kW capacitive energy storage | Vera Rubin NVL72 (power) | rack power shelf | air |
| JetCool SmartSense CDU 300kW per unit, scalable to 2.1MW per row | MGX (cooling) | 6U in-rack CDU | DLC |
| JetCool SmartPlate System Microjet cooling for Dell PowerEdge GPU servers, turnkey with unified warranty | PCIe (cooling) | direct-to-chip cold plates | DLC |
- Listed among the 40+ datacenter infrastructure ecosystem partners NVIDIA cites on Blackwell / GB200 NVL72 (power and cooling role)
- Launched the 800 VDC Power Rack developed with NVIDIA for the Vera Rubin platform
- No Flex-branded HGX or NVL72 compute server SKU confirmed; its disclosed role concentrates on power, cooling and rack subsystems
- Dallas, Texas: new 400,000 sq ft plant for grid-to-chip datacenter power
- Columbia, South Carolina: dedicated datacenter power capacity
- 100+ facilities in ~30 countries
- Buyer-facing role is power and cooling infrastructure plus Dell-partnered liquid-cooled servers, not Flex-branded GPU compute nodes
- CPI segment spin-off into a standalone datacenter company expected Q1 2027
- Do not confuse Flex Ltd with Flexential, a colocation operator
