Accelsius announced the launch of NeuGuard, a comprehensive
support program designed to provide unmatched cooling reliability in the
era of AI and advanced computing.
NeuGuard provides peace of mind to data center operators facing the
challenges of cooling next-generation AI and high-performance computing
systems. Available today, the program is built on the foundation of
Accelsius' robust and resilient NeuCool system and is supported by one
of the largest providers of warranty-related insurance in the United
States. CNA developed a custom multi-year warranty program based on the
resilience and quality of the NeuCool system.
"Data center operators have invested tens of millions of dollars in
their server racks, and the need for reliable cooling solutions has
never been greater," said Josh Claman, Accelsius' CEO. "NeuGuard is
designed to protect these substantial investments while maximizing
system uptime and providing professional, timely and accurate support."
Avoiding outages is a top priority for data center owners and operators.
Over half (54%) of the respondents to the 2024 Uptime Institute data
center survey said their most recent outage cost more than $100,000, with 16% saying it cost more than $1 million.
To provide added assurance, NeuGuard offers coverage of up to $100,000
per rack for internal damage caused by any NeuCool internal leaks. While
NeuCool uses a non-conductive, eco-friendly refrigerant that minimizes
risk, this coverage underscores Accelsius' commitment to reliability and
customer peace of mind.
"Protecting critical computing infrastructure is more important than
ever," said Jeff Manuel, Vice President of Underwriting for CNA Warranty
& Alternative Risks. "Our tailored insurance underwriting and
program coverage for NeuGuard demonstrate our commitment to addressing
the evolving needs of the data center industry."
Robust and Resilient Design
NeuGuard is built on NeuCool's industrial-grade components and
principles. The system features multiple redundancies and hot-swappable
elements, including pumps, power supplies, control boards and sensors,
devised to provide continuous operation even during maintenance.
The system is designed to minimize downtime by requiring minimal
intervention from certified HVAC technicians. Most maintenance and
service operations can be performed by on-site staff, further reducing
operational costs and potential downtime.
Extensive Support Network
Accelsius leverages a network of Authorized Service Partners (ASPs) with
decades of data center and IT experience to provide comprehensive
support. This ecosystem of proven thermal and operational experts
affords customers professional, timely and accurate lifecycle support
from the early planning phase through architecting, deployment,
commissioning, support and lifecycle services.
NeuGuard offers a range of standard and optional support and white-glove
professional services. This flexibility allows data center operators to
tailor the program to their specific needs, ensuring they receive the
most relevant and cost-effective support for their unique
infrastructure.
Building on this foundation, Accelsius now offers server-level
warranties for leading OEMs globally. Following rigorous testing and
validation by key OEM providers, SKU-level warranties are being
introduced, ensuring comprehensive client coverage alongside the
NeuGuard offering.
