It also aligns with the company’s goal of delivering more differentiated cooling solutions for data centers. Alloy’s proprietary manufacturing process improves liquid cooling efficiency across key components such as GPUs, CPUs, memory, and network interfaces. These capabilities add to Johnson Controls’ existing range of end-to-end cooling technologies.
