Chicago High-Density Colocation – Powered by Delta Cube³ Cooling

Next-Generation Infrastructure, Engineered for Data Center Innovation

Delivering 5X the power with ultra-efficient data center cooling, and sustainable operations–all under one roof.

Netrality’s 717 South Wells is redefining energy-efficient colocation in downtown Chicago. Purpose-built for high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI) inference, and advanced cloud infrastructure, this facility brings together dense power, advanced cooling, and low-latency interconnection—all in one of the city’s premier network interconnection hubs.

Sustainability at the Forefront

Certified with a perfect ENERGY STAR score, 717 South Wells reflects Netrality’s commitment to sustainability, scalability, and smart infrastructure investments. Every cabinet, corridor, and connection point in our newest data hall is engineered to support both environmental goals and compute-intensive workloads.

Delta Cube³ Cooling Technology

This next-generation air-based cooling system supports up to 50 kW per cabinet, removing heat loads of up to 27°F per pass—far surpassing traditional methods.

  • Zero Water Waste: A closed-loop system means no added water is consumed in heat removal.
  • <1% Energy Overhead: Consumes less than 1% of the power it cools.
  • Precision Cooling: Adaptive fans respond in real-time to server demand.
  • Liquid Cooling-Capable Infrastructure: Future-proof deployments with CDU-capable integrations that adapt to evolving AI, HPC, and cloud architectures.
  • Efficiency and Rack Consolidation: Consolidate five 10 kW cabinets into one 50 kW cabinet—reducing energy use, freeing space, and simplifying operations.
  • Renewable Energy & ESG Leadership: Backed by Macquarie Asset Management, Netrality has committed over $380 million to sustainable expansion, aiming for a 42% reduction in Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions by 2030, and 90% by 2040. This includes renewable energy integration across our facilities and sustainability-linked financing strategies.
