According to NVIDIA, the approach cuts down on construction at the site and on the need for specialist workers, and late parts become less of a risk. The buyer's share of the job is to have the site's networking, power and cooling in place beforehand (DSX POD press release).
Water use was the topic of a second announcement that day. Dry coolers take the place of evaporation: they draw heat from coolant that never leaves a sealed loop and vent it to the outside air. NVIDIA's estimate puts the daily saving at 54 million liters of water for a 2 GW site, measured against conventional cooling towers. In the hottest season, some sites may still need extra mechanical cooling; that comes down to the local climate (DSX Europe press release).
