Infosys to deploy ExxonMobil immersion cooling for AI data centres

Move to address the urgent need for more efficient high-performance digital infrastructure amid rising AI compute demands.

Infosys has expanded collaboration with ExxonMobil to develop and deploy immersion cooling solutions for AI-driven data centre infrastructure.

The initiative combines ExxonMobil’s Data Center Immersion Fluids with Infosys Topaz and Infosys Cobalt platforms to improve energy efficiency and optimise power usage in high-performance computing environments.

It focuses on enabling next-generation cooling systems that support the growing demands of artificial intelligence and HPC workloads.

As compute density increases, enterprises and hyperscalers are seeking alternatives to traditional air-based cooling models.

Infosys’ EVP and global head, Services, Utilities, Resources, Energy and Enterprise Sustainability, Ashiss Kumar Dash, said the company will leverage Infosys Topaz for real-time AI-driven optimisation and Infosys Cobalt for secure, scalable cloud deployment with ExxonMobil’s energy expertise, top address the urgent need for more efficient high-performance digital infrastructure.

This collaboration has the potential to deliver measurable outcomes by reducing data centre energy costs and carbon emissions, whilehelping enterprises to scale responsibly and meet the demands of an AI-powered future, Dash said.

Cooling technologies in India’s data centres are in a transition phase where room and air‑based systems still dominate by revenue, but liquid approaches, including direct‑to‑chip, immersion, and hybrid air–liquid architectures, are growing fastest as operators chase higher rack densities, AI workloads, and tighter power and sustainability constraints.

India’s India data center cooling market size in 2026 is estimated at USD 2.99 billion, with 2031 projections showing USD 9.28 billion, according to Mordor intelligence.

It further highlights liquid methods as the fastest‑growing segment.

Deploying liquid cooling within scalable AI infrastructure frameworks

Under this partnership, ExxonMobil will provide immersion fluid technology to enhance thermal management and maximise available power.

Infosys will integrate its AI and cloud capabilities into the framework.

Infosys Topaz will enable real-time optimisation of cooling operations, and will support predictive maintenance, energy monitoring and operational intelligence across data centre environments.

Infosys Cobalt will provide the cloud and digital foundation required to deploy these solutions at scale.

It will support secure integration across hybrid cloud and on-premise data centre environments.

ExxonMobil Product Solutions Company’s global marketing manager, Alistair Westwood, said, this collaboration will allow the company to apply its energy and thermal management expertise to the evolving landscape of digital infrastructure.

Infosys’ suite of AI and digital services will help pilot and adopt infrastructure that is smarter, efficient, and more resilient, Westwood added.

The companies plan to support customers across sectors including financial services, telecom, manufacturing, energy and government.
