Colovore, a proven leader in high-density, liquid cooling colocation solutions, breaks ground on its ne

west data center in Reno, NV (RNO01). The buildings will expand the much needed high-density, liquid-cooled colocation inventory, and have the ability to support the existing and next generation of AI accelerator systems with expected rack densities approaching 250kW each. Like all Colovore data centers, each cabinet will be delivered with a primary liquid loop connection, making it easy to deploy advanced AI/ML systems at enterprise scale.

RNO01 shares all the standard Colovore features including liquid-cooling, big power circuits for large contiguous enterprise deployments, with committed power provided by Nevada Energy.

The ubiquitous rise in AI compute for training and inference workloads has put a strain on traditional, air-cooled data center designs both mechanically and financially, a reality predicted by Colovore’s founders Sean Holzknecht and Peter Harrison, over a decade ago. Colovore’s innovative approach is to deliver infrastructure that is compute agnostic and can support the most advanced direct-to-chip cooling systems and traditional IT infrastructure simultaneously, with little impact on the customer. The Colovore design delivers the power and cooling needed to support advanced AI hardware without costly retrofits, a unique feature set that is very important to anyone designing enterprise or consumer AI products.

"Colovore was built on the philosophy of staying ahead of customer needs, ensuring that infrastructure never becomes a bottleneck," said President and Co-Founder Sean Holzknecht. "Our Silicon Valley-adjacent Reno data center continues that mission, providing seamless scalability for the most demanding and high-performance workloads."

"RNO01 eliminates the constraints that have traditionally hindered AI deployments—whether cooling, density, or cost. By making high-performance compute deployment frictionless and cost-effective, we're enabling enterprises to scale AI faster and more efficiently than ever before," added chief technology officer and co-founder Peter Harrison.

RNO01 is the latest in a growing list of Colovore data centers across the United States spurred by the recent King Street Capital Management, ("King Street") acquisition.
