Brazos Fits in Any Air-Cooled Hall. That’s Where the Fun Starts

Adapter brackets for two rack types, manifold guards that double as cable managers and keyed FRU handles all have to land inside a tight keep-in volume. Our engineers would like nothing more than to make them.
Talk to an Engineer

Ask Our Engineers About Brazos Manifold Brackets and Pull Up a Chair.

Brazos goes in one rack at a time, so each air-cooled hall brings its own rack type, clearances and cable paths. When an adapter bracket misses the keep-in volume or a manifold guard fouls a quick disconnect, a ready AI rack waits while parts get remade.

Bring us a Brazos drawing, a stubborn tolerance or a fixture that keeps chasing your rack revisions. An engineer will talk it through with you and suggest where a small design change could save cost or time, from the first fit check through production lots.

  • Brazos liquid cooling: Adapter brackets, manifold guards, airflow diffusers, covers and leak-test fixtures, built to your drawings.
  • Ironwood & TPU platforms: Tray mounts, retention brackets, rail details and fit-check fixtures that track each revision.
  • Networking & optical: Burr-free shields, precision shims, connector panels and small sheet-metal housings.
  • Data center operations: Retrofit brackets, guards, panels and service fixtures for air-cooled halls taking on liquid cooling.

Few Things Feel Better Than a Brazos Chassis Sliding Right In.

Infrastructure teams usually pick between a quick-turn shop that cuts a bracket this week with no inspection data and a documented production supplier with a months-long queue. A cooling system that ships rack by rack needs both.

Here’s how we close that gap:

  • Domestic manufacturing: Ten U.S. locations, including Austin, with domestic capacity for U.S. retrofit programs.
  • DFM, DFQ and DFE before the quote: Engineers check keep-in fit, nickel-free finishes, burrs and front service access at print review.
  • 30+ manufacturing technologies: CNC, sheet metal, photochemical machining, additive and molding, so a part family stays with one supplier.
  • White-glove service: A named team that carries every ECO from the first fit check into production.

We’ve Made Our Share of Data Center Hardware.

Our shops have built precision brackets, sheet-metal enclosures, thermal interface parts and service fixtures for data center, power and electrical equipment manufacturers, often carrying programs from prototype into production.

Brazos retrofits and Google’s Ironwood deployments need the same revision discipline and dimensional evidence, at a pace that keeps installation crews moving.

We’d be glad to bring that experience to Google’s infrastructure teams.

Brazos & Liquid Cooling

Sixty Kilowatts of Cooling Hangs on a Few Brackets.

With Brazos now generally available and published as an OCP spec, its mounting hardware has to fit more halls, rack types and builders. We’d jump at the adapter brackets, manifold guards, airflow diffusers, chassis covers and leak-test fixtures.

Ironwood TPU & Compute Platforms

Every TPU Generation Rewrites the Rack Around It.

Ironwood Superpods pack more compute into each rack, and each new generation shifts tray, rail and retention geometry before the supply chain settles. We’d happily take on the tray mounts, rail details, retention brackets, cable guides and alignment fixtures.

Networking & Optical Interconnect

Dense Switches Leave No Room for a Burr.

Google’s network hardware keeps getting denser, and each board revision moves connector access, shielding and cable routing a few millimeters. Our shops would welcome the burr-free shields, precision shims, connector panels, chassis inserts and small housings.

Data Center Development & Operations

No Two Halls Need Quite the Same Bracket.

Brazos lets older air-cooled halls take on liquid-cooled AI racks, while new campuses in Texas, Finland and Sweden bring their own layouts. We’d like to build the retrofit brackets, guards, cabinet panels, commissioning fixtures and service tools.

Data Centers: How is Liquid Cooling Altering Cabinet Design?

AI data center builders are packing more blade servers into less space. That is pushing rack designs from air cooling to liquid cooling. Use our interactive infographic to see which mechanical components, mounting, routing, access and assembly must change and what to check before you release the enclosure design.

What’s Still Unsettled in Your Next Brazos Rollout?

Let’s set up a short technical conversation about the mechanical hardware between your current Brazos builds and the next wave of retrofits and Ironwood deployments. Bring a print, a problem or a rough idea. For example:

  • Brazos adapter brackets for a rack type or hall layout the current hardware doesn’t fit yet.
  • A leak-test or fit-check fixture for the rack manifolds and their quick-disconnect connections.
  • Manifold guards, airflow diffusers or chassis covers you’d like a second domestic source for.
  • Shields, shims and connector panels for a network board that’s on its third revision this quarter.

You’ll hear back from an engineer who can say what’s makeable as drawn and what it will take to get it into production.
