Discover how UNICOM Engineering designs and integrates cooling-aware infrastructure from node to rack

Founded in the 1990s as a specialist designer of computers and storage infrastructure, UNICOM Engineering has evolved into a trusted system integration partner supporting enterprise, AI, and edge data center deployments. Evolving alongside the technology it builds around, the company’ s offering spans the design, integration, and delivery of compute infrastructure, from individual nodes through to racks of equipment across a variety of markets and industries. Today, UNICOM Engineering is increasingly focused on advanced cooling architectures to support AI workloads across enterprise and edge data center environments. Rusty Cone, General Manager, discusses how the rise of AI is shaping the company’ s approach to infrastructure design and development.

“ We have a long legacy of designing and manufacturing unique hardware configurations that have supported everything from call centers and dialer systems to large-scale AI deployments,” Cone begins.“ That work has always been about designing around real-world workloads. Today, with engineering expertise spanning our operations and manufacturing facilities in Canton, Massachusetts, Plano, Texas, and Galway, Ireland, that same design-first approach continues to shape how we build infrastructure for more demanding, compute-dense environments.”
