Castrol has introduced Castrol CORE, an integrated thermal management service for data centres that expands its operations.
The initiative addresses escalating cooling requirements driven by the rapid adoption of AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads.

Experience unmatched clarity with a single platform that combines unique data, AI, and human expertise.
The service marks a transition from standalone product delivery to an integrated model that unites design, infrastructure, design and service partners.
By collaborating with several partners, Castrol aims to act as a single contact point for data centre operators, reducing the complexity of dealing with separate vendors.
The programme incorporates engineering support during the initial planning phase, alongside ongoing assistance with deployment, commissioning, routine operations, and maintenance.
Castrol data centre and thermal management global president Peter Huang said: “Customers are telling us they do not simply want another standalone product. They want experienced partners that can help them solve the complete thermal management challenge.
“We are bringing together proven technology, global reach and, critically, design expertise so we can work with customers at every stage of a project, giving them the peace of mind to focus on what’s next.”
According to Castrol, the shift responds to market research indicating that operators are seeking unified cooling strategies amid supply chain difficulties and the financial risks of facility downtime.
The company’s underlying cooling technologies have been tested and verified alongside hardware and processor manufacturers, including Nvidia and Intel.
The rollout is supported by research and testing facilities in the UK, the US, Germany, and China, alongside joint laboratories in Asia and a partner network in over 150 countries to facilitate continuous site monitoring and validation.
In the Asia-Pacific region, Castrol has established a dedicated regional design team and concluded a proof-of-concept project with a facility operator in China, while advancing similar trials with global operators.
