Direct-to-Chip, DC-Native Thermal Infrastructure for AI Factories
AI Scales at the Speed of Cooling
Air can’t scale AI. Liquid cooling can. AI is forcing a shift from centralized cooling to liquid, rack-integrated architectures. Entire racks can now be cooled with warm water, removing the need for traditional chiller infrastructure and unlocking a new level of efficiency and density. Orbis Electric Modular Cooling Systems are engineered for this new paradigm.
Orbis Electric Modular Cooling Systems, powered by HaloDrive™, deliver high efficiency, configurable thermal infrastructure built on an axial-flux power system platform. Engineered for AI workloads, DC-native power architectures, and high density compute environments, it is a next generation cooling platform designed for performance at scale. By transforming thermal infrastructure into an active, high bandwidth control layer, it drives real time performance, maximizes efficiency, and enhances system reliability.
Twice the Cooling • Half the Energy
Cooling efficiency defines operating cost. Traditional systems require more energy to move heat. HaloDrive delivers up to 2× the heat removal using half the energy unlocking higher performance with lower operating cost.
Power Agnostic by Design
OE Modular Cooling Systems operate independently of how power is generated, stored, or delivered, whether AC, DC, or hybrid enabling a single platform to seamlessly support any architecture.
Millisecond Response
Milliseconds matter. AI workloads change in milliseconds and legacy cooling can’t keep up, stranding compute and wasting energy. Orbis Electric’s DC-native, high bandwidth cooling responds in real time to unlock full performance.
AI is captive. Cooling is the constraint. HaloDrive unlocks it.
As AI workloads scale, cooling is no longer just infrastructure it’s a performance limiter.
Legacy systems are designed for steady state operation. They react too slowly to dynamic workloads, stranding compute capacity and wasting energy. HaloDrive changes that.

News & Insights
AI Factory Cooling Needs to Meet the Moment
Cooling architecture is being redefined at the rack level.
Jensen Huang emphasized that entire racks can now be cooled with warm water, eliminating traditional chiller dependency.
This is not “less cooling needed”, It is a shift to a new cooling paradigm (liquid, rack-integrated, system-level).
CES 2026: link to full keynote
Anthropic has recently been hit by frequent outages.
We’re Using So Much AI That Computing Firepower Is Running Out
AI companies are rationing offerings and products, rankling users a warning sign for a boom that depends on rapid adoption.
When compute gets rationed, it’s not a supply problem it’s a systems problem. Cooling is the bottleneck.

At CES last month Delta made it clear, and Schneider quickly followed: AI infrastructure is moving to 800V DC-native architectures to support NVIDIA’s next-generation chips. It is a strong signal that legacy systems are reaching their limits. But going DC alone does not fix inefficient, slow cooling.
Orbis does both. HaloDrive™ Modular Cooling Systems are DC native and power agnostic, delivering higher efficiency and real-time response to unlock more compute with less energy.
Compact Power, Perfected.
When space, heat, and performance matter most, HaloDrive delivers — packing exceptional torque and power into a remarkably compact form. It’s engineered to do more with less, unlocking new possibilities.
Modular. Scalable. Ready to Go.
HaloDrive’s modular architecture makes integration effortless by adapting to thermal systems with minimal redesign. Faster to deploy. Easier to scale.
Efficiency that Leads the Industry.
At up to 97% efficiency, HaloDrive turns every watt into work. Less energy wasted. More performance delivered. Cleaner, smarter, and built for the electrified future.
The Cost Advantage, Built In.
Streamlined integration. Superior performance. Proven savings. HaloDrive can reduce total system costs by as much as 35% compared to conventional systems.
