Information
DUG Nomad is a line of mobile, modular data centers built for resilience, rapid deployment, and high-performance computing (HPC) exactly where it's needed.
Crafted from decades of expertise, DUG Nomad combines proven hardware, software, and infrastructure to create a cutting-edge solution. At its core is DUG's patented immersion-cooling technology, DUG Cool, which ensures sustainable, reliable compute and storage capabilities. Immersion cooling works by submerging electronic components like servers and GPUs in a special dielectric fluid that absorbs and dissipates heat.
This fluid is non-conductive, preventing short-circuits while efficiently cooling the components.
The DUG Cool system has been honed over a decade of use in DUG’s data centers, some of the world’s largest immersion-cooled facilities. It provides proven scalability and strong returns on investment. DUG’s single-phase immersion cooling keeps the dielectric fluid in liquid form, absorbing heat that is transferred to a heat exchanger for cooling. This approach reduces power consumption by up to 51% compared to traditional air-cooled data centers and cuts water usage by up to 25%.
Beyond energy efficiency, immersion cooling boosts hardware performance, density, and lifespan, offering several advantages tailored to mobile and modular data center needs:
Space efficiency
Effective thermal management in compact environments
Energy efficiency
Reduced maintenance
Quieter operation
Resilience in harsh conditions, as immersion systems are less affected by temperature and humidity changes than air-cooled systems
The DUG Nomad 10 brings together all components, including the cooling system, into a single, durable enclosure, making it deployable anywhere and resilient against extreme environments. Ideal for sectors like healthcare, telecommunications, smart cities, defense, and other data-intensive industries, Nomad supports secure, scalable AI workloads, ensuring data sovereignty and reducing latency. Its versatile design allows for the repurposing of underutilized urban spaces, providing a flexible alternative to traditional infrastructure, with the ability to easily scale as operational demands increase.
DUG Nomad 40 is scalable, powerful and built for performance. DUG Nomad 40 delivers modular, high-density computing with 1 MW of IT heat rejection capacity per container. It is rapidly deployable, easily scaled with multiple units and pairs with external cooling solutions to deliver ultra-efficient power usage effectiveness (PUE) results.
