Infosys, ExxonMobil team up to cool AI data centres

The partnership will focus on leveraging ExxonMobil’s Data Center Immersion Fluids, designed to enhance energy efficiency and maximise power usage in high-density computing environments.

Tech major Infosys has expanded its strategic collaboration with ExxonMobil to develop and deploy advanced cooling solutions aimed at improving energy efficiency in data centres handling artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads.

The partnership will focus on leveraging ExxonMobil’s Data Center Immersion Fluids, designed to enhance energy efficiency and maximise power usage in high-density computing environments. The initiative aligns with Infosys’ broader commitment to energy innovation, decarbonisation and cross-industry partnerships.

According to the company, the collaboration will integrate ExxonMobil’s cooling technologies with Infosys Topaz, its AI-first suite of services and platforms powered by generative AI, and Infosys Cobalt, its cloud-focused services platform. Together, these solutions are expected to enable the development of high-efficiency cooling systems capable of meeting the rapidly growing demands of AI-driven infrastructure.

Infosys said Topaz will facilitate real-time optimisation of cooling operations, enabling smarter energy consumption, predictive maintenance and scalable, sustainable infrastructure. Meanwhile, Infosys Cobalt will provide a secure and scalable cloud foundation for deploying these cooling systems across enterprise data centre environments, ensuring seamless integration and operational efficiency.

The companies plan to roll out scalable solutions targeting hyperscalers, global enterprises and public sector organisations across sectors such as financial services, telecom, manufacturing, energy and government.

Ashiss Kumar Dash, EVP and Global Head – Services, Utilities, Resources, Energy and Enterprise Sustainability at Infosys, said the collaboration marks a significant step towards scaling next-generation digital infrastructure. He noted that the initiative aims to reduce data centre energy costs and carbon emissions while enabling enterprises to expand responsibly in an AI-powered future.

Alistair Westwood, Global Marketing Manager at ExxonMobil Product Solutions Company, said the partnership underscores ExxonMobil’s focus on applying its energy and thermal management expertise to evolving digital infrastructure needs, making systems smarter, more efficient and resilient.
