捷普又一重磅收购！加速数据中心能力战略部署
2024-10-10 17:06

当地时间10月3日，全球知名电子科技巨头捷普（Jabil）公司宣布，已收购液冷解决方案公司Mikros Technologies LLC。

据悉，此次并购旨在进一步强化捷普在数据中心领域的服务能力，特别是通过Mikros先进的热管理技术，来升级其现有的数据中心解决方案并推动基础设施的革新。

捷普的高级副总裁兼首席技术官Ed Bailey指出，这次收购不仅拓宽了捷普为云服务提供商、硬件原始设备制造商（OEM）以及液冷方案供应商提供的服务范畴，还预示着公司在多个需要高效热管理的终端市场上看到了巨大的发展潜力，这些市场包括半导体、电池技术、储能系统以及电动汽车的自动化测试设备。

Mikros Technologies凭借其独特的微通道冷板设计，在应对高难度高热流密度应用方面表现出色，能够实现每平方米厘米超过一千瓦的冷却功率。Mikros的首席执行官Dave Matter表示，加入捷普是公司发展历程中的一个重要里程碑。

Bailey在同一新闻稿中还提到：“此次收购让我们得以扩展自身卓越的液体冷却技术，以应对全球顶尖品牌的热管理需求，同时我们也拥有一支高效且令人愉快的合作团队。”

此次战略收购，是继去年底捷普收购英特尔基于硅光子学的可插拔光收发器产品线后，其在增强数据中心能力方面的又一关键举措。

这不仅标志着捷普在数据中心支持技术领域的一次重要飞跃，更是其全面布局未来数据中心市场需求、推动技术创新与产业升级的深谋远虑。

对于所有云服务提供商来说，跟上市场需求的快速增长步伐无疑是一项艰巨挑战。他们面临着诸多复杂因素：工作负载难以预测，服务产品持续迭代，硬件和组件的供应链可能充满变数，而成本控制则始终是悬在头顶的一把利剑。然而，将这种复杂性转化为一个既优化又不断进化的部署模型，不仅是对云服务提供商的考验，同时也为其客户及整个生态系统孕育着无限机遇。

捷普（Jabil）凭借其在供应链、制造和硬件开发领域的深厚积累，正积极融入云生态系统，全方位覆盖从设计到废弃的整个产品生命周期。公司不仅提供以客户为中心的供应链解决方案，交付定制化的白盒硬件，还通过工厂集成服务显著缩短部署周期，同时推出注重安全与环保责任的回收与处置方案，确保每一步都精准对接客户需求，助力云服务提供商在复杂多变的市场环境中稳健前行。

此前不久，捷普宣布其在硅光子产品和能力方面的持续投资，以支持超大规模数据中心及下一波云计算和AI数据中心的增长需求。公司将在2024年第四季度于其位于加拿大渥太华的工厂推出更多能力，以支持客户的先进光子封装新产品导入（NPI）。公司还在800G和1.6T以外的下一代硅光子技术上持续投入，支持AI和云计算，并专注于为现代数据中心优化性能并降低功耗。

Jabil Acquires Mikros Technologies to Support Demand for Liquid Cooling in AI Data Centers
Mikros Technologies’ thermal management capabilities complement Jabil’s existing data center solutions to enable the growth of AI infrastructure

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – October 3, 2024 – Jabil Inc. (NYSE: JBL), a global leader in design, manufacturing, and supply chain solutions, today announced the successful acquisition of Mikros Technologies LLC, a leader in the engineering and manufacturing of liquid cooling solutions for thermal management, completed October 1.

As the continued adoption of artificial intelligence, energy storage, and electric vehicles drives higher-power density systems across consumer and commercial industries, liquid cooling has emerged as a more energy-efficient alternative to air cooling for many applications. This acquisition will provide Jabil with critical capabilities for helping our customers manage the intense thermal requirements of their current and next-generation products while keeping sustainability and cost considerations top of mind.

“We are thrilled to welcome Mikros Technologies to the Jabil team,” said Ed Bailey, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. “The thermal management capabilities they bring will allow Jabil to extend the range of services we provide to cloud service providers, hardware OEMs, and liquid cooling solutions providers. In addition to the data center ecosystem, we see significant opportunities in other end-markets that require thermal management, including automated test equipment for semiconductors, batteries, energy storage systems, and electric vehicles.”

For more than 30 years, Mikros Technologies has developed innovative microchannel liquid cooling solutions to address complex thermal management challenges. Their proprietary microchannel cold plate designs enhance energy efficiency by effectively cooling over one kilowatt per square centimeter. Mikros’s exclusive technologies and capabilities will complement Jabil’s extensive portfolio of data center lifecycle solutions, semiconductor test equipment solutions, and energy and transportation solutions.

“Joining Jabil is a tremendous path forward for Mikros Technologies. We can now scale our best-in-class liquid cooling capabilities to meet the thermal demands of the world’s leading brands alongside a high-performing team of people we enjoy working with,” said Drew Matter, CEO of Mikros Technologies.
