Samsung Electronics is in talks to acquire Modine Manufacturing, a maker of cooling systems for data centres, Bloomberg reports, citing people familiar with the matter. The reported talks put a practical piece of computing infrastructure, keeping servers cool, in the frame of a potential Samsung deal.
Why it mattersThere are no terms or timetable in the available report, and talks do not mean a deal is done. Still, cooling is becoming a consequential part of building and operating data centres, where heat is not exactly a decorative feature.
Discuss: Should data-centre operators treat cooling as strategic technology worth owning, or is it better left to specialist suppliers?
