Gradiant announced that HyperSolved, its end-to-end cooling water solution for artificial intelligence data centers, is now deployed with several of the world’s largest hyperscale operators, supporting mission-critical infrastructure across major global markets. The HyperSolved data center solution integrates the full water cooling lifecycle from sourcing to discharge into a single platform delivered by one vendor.
Global data center capacity is projected to increase six-fold between 2025 and 2035. A single 100MW hyperscale campus can require water equivalent to a city of 80,000 people each day. This unprecedented expansion of AI infrastructure demands significantly more power and cooling than traditional computing, driving sharp increases in water consumption.
Water as a Critical Infrastructure Challenge
Growth is increasingly constrained not only by power and land availability, but by water scarcity, permitting complexity, and discharge limits. While compute and energy systems have matured, water infrastructure remains fragmented, forcing operators to manage multiple vendors and disconnected systems. This fragmentation introduces risk and slows deployment timelines.
Prakash Govindan, CEO of Gradiant, stated that water is one of the least integrated and most fragmented layers of data center infrastructure. He compared the current AI infrastructure build-out to historic expansions like the railroads in the 1800s, which connected regions and transformed entire economies. The HyperSolved data center approach replaces the patchwork of disconnected systems with a single integrated platform designed specifically for hyperscale environments.
“Water is one of the least integrated and most fragmented layers of data center infrastructure. That level of growth demands a new approach. Today, water is still managed through a patchwork of vendors and solutions that were never designed for hyperscale. HyperSolved changes that by treating water as critical infrastructure, designed, delivered, and operated as one integrated system.”

HyperSolved Data Center Features and Capabilities
The solution expands access to alternative water sources, including municipal reuse and other impaired supplies, reducing reliance on freshwater and increasing site flexibility. HyperSolved protects cooling performance through integrated treatment, CURE Chemicals, and SmartOps AI technology. The platform minimizes discharge through high-recovery concentration and reuse, improving environmental performance and easing regulatory constraints.
Sankar Natarajan, Head of Special Projects at Gradiant, said the system enables operators to focus on running their data centers while Gradiant manages the water layer. By integrating water into a single system, it performs with the same reliability and accountability as power or cooling infrastructure, giving operators a clear path to scale with less risk and fewer constraints.
Deployment Speed and Lifecycle Support
Engineered for the pace of AI development, HyperSolved supports rapid deployment through containerized systems, enabling immediate or temporary capacity to support rapid build timelines. It delivers optimized long-term performance through permanent infrastructure. Gradiant provides end-to-end lifecycle support, from commissioning through operations, ensuring continuity as facilities scale.
Gradiant is seeing strong commercial adoption of HyperSolved among the world’s leading hyperscale operators, reflecting growing demand for integrated water infrastructure. The company expects data centers to represent approximately 25 percent of its global business by 2027, as water becomes a defining factor in where and how AI infrastructure can be built.
Global Availability and Market Impact
HyperSolved is available globally, supporting hyperscalers, data center developers and operators, and engineering partners across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Gradiant, headquartered in Boston and founded at MIT, has over 1,400 employees worldwide. The company serves mission-critical operations across semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, lithium and critical minerals, and renewable energy industries.
