Bengaluru, India - February 12, 2026 - Infosys Ltd. has expanded its strategic collaboration with ExxonMobil to advance immersion cooling technologies aimed at improving energy efficiency in data centers supporting artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads.
The expanded partnership will combine ExxonMobil’s Data Center Immersion Fluids with Infosys’ digital and AI-driven platforms to develop and deploy next-generation cooling systems designed to optimize thermal performance, reduce power consumption, and lower carbon emissions. The companies said the initiative targets hyperscalers, enterprises, and public sector organizations facing rising compute density and escalating cooling requirements.
As part of the collaboration, Infosys will integrate its Infosys Topaz AI-first suite to enable real-time optimization of cooling operations, predictive maintenance, and dynamic workload management. In parallel, Infosys Cobalt, the company’s cloud acceleration platform, will provide a scalable and secure foundation for deploying immersion cooling solutions across hybrid and cloud-based environments.
Immersion cooling involves submerging servers in thermally conductive dielectric fluids to dissipate heat more efficiently than traditional air-based systems. The approach is increasingly being explored as AI and HPC workloads drive higher rack densities and energy demands in data centers worldwide.
Ashiss Kumar Dash, Executive Vice President and Global Head of Services, Utilities, Resources, Energy, and Enterprise Sustainability at Infosys, said the expanded collaboration represents a significant step in delivering sustainable digital infrastructure. He noted that combining advanced cooling technologies with AI-enabled optimization can help organizations scale compute capacity while managing operational costs and environmental impact.
Alistair Westwood, Global Marketing Manager at ExxonMobil Product Solutions Company, said the partnership reflects ExxonMobil’s efforts to apply its thermal management and energy expertise to digital infrastructure challenges. He added that immersion fluids can improve cooling efficiency, support higher compute densities, and enhance overall system reliability.
The companies said the joint solution is designed to help data center operators address increasing energy consumption tied to AI adoption while meeting sustainability targets and regulatory requirements. By integrating immersion cooling with AI-driven operational intelligence, the collaboration aims to create more resilient and energy-efficient facilities.
The expanded partnership underscores a broader industry shift toward alternative cooling technologies as operators seek to balance performance, cost control, and environmental responsibility in the era of large-scale AI deployment.
