Unisys and Refroid Technologies, a data center liquid cooling company, have partnered to help organizations build, deploy and maintain the high-performance computing infrastructure AI workloads require. The growth of AI is reshaping data center requirements and driving demand for solutions that support increasingly complex, energy-intensive computing environments. The partnership combines Refroid’s liquid cooling technologies with the global field services and delivery capabilities from Unisys, enabling organizations to maximize the performance and value of AI infrastructure investments.
Organizations have heavily invested in AI models, platforms and applications, but they are quickly recognizing that the physical infrastructure required to support AI is equally critical to long-term success. Gartner® forecasts worldwide AI spending will reach $2.59 trillion in 2026, with AI infrastructure accounting for more than $1.4 trillion of that total. This underscores the growing importance of the technologies, services and support required to enable AI at scale. Through their partnership, Unisys and Refroid address evolving infrastructure demands and strengthen the foundation for AI growth.
Refroid brings expertise in direct-to-chip cooling, immersion cooling, coolant distribution units and hybrid load-bank technologies designed for high-performance computing environments. Unisys complements these capabilities with specialized field services designed for high-performance computing environments, including deployment, commissioning and validation support, technical workforce enablement, and AI-powered service management and lifecycle support services delivered through its Digital Workplace Solutions.

“AI is creating new infrastructure demands that extend well beyond the data center itself,” said Patrycja Sobera, senior vice president and general manager, Digital Workplace Solutions, Unisys. “Organizations need trusted providers with expertise that bridges the gap between technology innovation and real-world execution as they invest in AI. This collaboration reflects our continued evolution to meet emerging client needs and support the infrastructure powering the future of AI.”
Additional benefits of the Unisys and Refroid partnership include:
- Simplified deployment and commissioning of AI-ready infrastructure environments.
- Improved efficiency across increasingly energy-intensive computing environments.
- Enhanced infrastructure reliability through global maintenance, technical support and lifecycle services.
- Strengthened workforce readiness through specialized technician training and field-service expertise.
- Expanded AI-powered service management capabilities to support emerging AI infrastructure requirements.
“The bottleneck in AI infrastructure is no longer silicon, it is the skilled expertise required to deploy the cooling that silicon demands,” said Satya Bhavaraju, CEO, Refroid Technologies. “Partnering with Unisys gives our technology a global services backbone from day one – certified technicians who can install, commission and maintain our systems to Original Equipment Manufacturer standards, supporting AI infrastructure deployments worldwide.”
