Wind River, a global leader in delivering software for the intelligent edge, today announced that Nidec, the world's leading integrated motor manufacturer, has selected Wind River Linux for the secure development of its latest AI-driven data center liquid-cooling system.
Wind River Linux serves as the platform for the control system that monitors and operates Nidec's liquid cooling system.
“As AI drives unprecedented computing demands, next-generation intelligent systems must deliver high-performance, security, and efficiency,” said Jay Bellissimo, president, Wind River. “The long-term maintenance for these systems can be highly labor intensive, requiring continuous monitoring and remediation in an ever-evolving threat landscape. Wind River Linux empowers leaders like Nidec to further innovate and build secure and scalable systems with lasting reliability.”
With the rise of AI servers, data centers must process vast amounts of data, leading to increased power consumption and heat generation. As a result, high-capacity liquid cooling systems are becoming a critical alternative to conventional air cooling.
Wind River Linux plays a key role in ensuring the stable operation of these cooling systems while protecting equipment from network threats, which are both essential for the future of AI-driven data centers, according to the companies.
“Nidec's highly reliable liquid-cooling system requires a robust and secure Linux foundation,” said Eiji Miyamoto, fellow, Nidec. “Wind River Linux provides the high-quality support necessary to keep our teams on schedule while ensuring long-term security, even
post-deployment. Nidec is committed to providing products that reflect global needs as a comprehensive thermal solution manufacturer contributing to advancing AI.”
