SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 October 2025 – From October 8–9, 2025, DATA CENTRE WORLD—the largest data center event in Asia—was held in Singapore. SLiquid Global DataCenter (Singapore) PTE. LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “SLiquid”), an emerging company specializing in data center solutions with a core focus on liquid cooling technology, unveiled its latest product: the CDU-22400W, a next-generation cold plate liquid-cooled heat exchange unit. Its CEO, Nick Ma, also delivered a speech during the event, and these efforts together made SLiquid one of the highlights of the exhibition.

With the explosive growth of the intelligent computing demand in Southeast Asia, data center construction is accelerating. However, a range of challenges has also emerged: the region’s consistently high ambient temperatures, coupled with rising chip power density, exert immense thermal management pressure; tightening global Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) regulations—including strict efficiency requirements in places like Singapore—are raising the bar for energy efficiency; persistently high power consumption by traditional cooling systems is driving up operational costs; and growing expectations around space utilization, maintenance convenience, and operational reliability are placing even greater demands on data center cooling infrastructure.

Against this backdrop, SLiquid’s CDU-22400W, a high-power liquid-cooled CDU specifically designed for the Southeast Asian market, offers an efficient and reliable solution to these challenges. Compared to traditional air cooling, liquid cooling delivers significant advantages in heat dissipation efficiency, energy consumption, and hardware longevity. As an expert in liquid cooling technologies, SLiquid has engineered this latest product to excel in energy efficiency, high-density heat dissipation, and operational stability.

In terms of energy performance, the CDU-22400W reduces secondary loop power consumption by more than 30% compared to conventional cold plate solutions. It achieves a minimum approach temperature of just 3°C—2 degrees lower than mainstream products—while boosting natural cooling source utilization by 40%. These improvements significantly extend the duration of free cooling, enabling the PUE as low as 1.08 under certain conditions, and substantially reducing overall energy consumption.

In terms of thermal performance, a single CDU-22400W unit delivers a cooling capacity of 2,400 kW, capable of supporting up to 16 high-density racks at 120 kW each, making it fully equipped to handle the demands of next-generation high-power chips. Furthermore, the unit’s modular design enables rapid deployment and flexible expansion of liquid cooling systems—an ideal fit for the growing computing power requirements.

On the reliability front, the CDU-22400W features a groundbreaking structural design that increases the operational space between adjacent pipes by 260% compared to conventional solutions, all within the same equipment footprint. This not only allows for higher performance scalability and functional redundancy but also ensures ample space for maintenance and operations, greatly simplifying inspection and repair processes. As a result, the Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) is significantly reduced, helping to ensure continuous uptime for data centers.

According to SLiquid CTO Dr. Teny Zhang, the CDU-22400W represents a leap not only in technical performance but also in industrial design, with deep cultural integration reflecting Southeast Asian influences. Drawing inspiration from the elephant—a culturally significant symbol in the region—the product’s aesthetic framework centers around this motif. The initial “S” from the SLiquid brand name is artistically reimagined using flowing curves and geometric lines to form the silhouette of a poised, forward-moving elephant. This design approach strikes a balance between modern technological sophistication and distinct cultural identity.

In Southeast Asian cultural contexts, the elephant has long symbolized stability, wisdom, and good fortune. By integrating this cultural icon into the product’s DNA, SLiquid aims to convey deeper values through a tangible symbol: just as elephants steadily navigate tropical rainforest, the CDU-22400W is designed to ensure exceptional stability for data centers; mirroring the protective and communal nature of elephant herds, the unit’s multi-level redundancy design guarantees 24/7 fault-free operation; and echoing the elephant’s gentle and trustworthy character, the product has passed international certifications such as CE and UL, providing a robust and secure solution for Southeast Asia’s high-temperature, high-humidity environments. In essence, this design embodies SLiquid’s commitment to intelligent, safe, and reliable performance.

Dr. Teny Zhang emphasized that every aspect of the CDU-22400W, from product engineering to visual design, reflects SLiquid’s deep-rooted localization strategy and sincere respect for local cultures. Looking ahead, the company will continue to leverage its strengths in technology, operations & maintenance (O&M), and supply chain integration to deliver high-efficiency, high-reliability liquid cooling solutions for clients across Southeast Asia—supporting the region’s transition toward a greener, digitally enabled infrastructure.

SLiquid is headquartered in Singapore, with a research and development team that brings over 20 years of deep expertise in liquid cooling technologies. The company has built a comprehensive, full-lifecycle service model based on three core pillars: end-to-end professional services, integrated liquid cooling and thermal management solutions, and region-wide operational support. With strategic operations across Singapore, Malaysia, and Qingdao, SLiquid has established a three-region presence to support regional growth. Despite being founded just one year ago, the company has already successfully delivered three major projects, marking a strong start to its market expansion.

LONDON, UK – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 October 2025 – AXA Global Healthcare’s new Mind Health Report reveals a generational divide in how expats experience and manage their mental wellbeing.

The fifth edition of the report shows that while older expats lean on their resilience and life experience, younger expats are more open about the challenges they face.

It also highlights how younger generations are driving the adoption of AI and digital mind health tools, even though many report being adversely affected by excessive use of social media.

The findings from the Ipsos survey, conducted across 16 countries with over 1,400 expat participants aged 18-75, highlight how age, cultural context, and digital access are shaping new approaches to wellbeing worldwide.

Key findings include:

• Over two thirds of both 18-24-year-olds and 25-34-year-olds (74% and 67% respectively) were shown to be suffering from moderate to extremely severe levels of anxiety, stress or depression, according to the DASS (Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale)
• Specifically, 68% of younger expats (18-34-years-old) reported moderate to severe stress levels in the past 12 months, compared to just 33% of over-55s
• Younger adult expats are twice as likely to report moderate to severe depression, stress, or anxiety, than their over 55’s counterparts (70% vs 35%)
• 51% of younger adult expats say that social media and digital devices are the most prominent factor negatively affecting their mental health
• 47% of younger adult expats are struggling with constant exposure to negative news in the media
• 83% of expats are experiencing negative mental health symptoms as a direct result of their working environment, 4% higher than in 2024, and 4% higher than their native colleagues

Statistics also highlighted different approaches to seeking help:

• 66% of young adult expats would use, or have already used AI virtual therapists for mind health support
• 40% of young adult expats use social media for mental health information, compared with 14% of older adults
• 41% of younger adult expats turn to healthcare professionals such as GPs, compared to 57% of older adults
• However, younger adult expats are 33% more likely to see a psychiatrist or specialist than they were in 2023, showing overall growth in medicating specifically against mental health issues

Commenting on the findings, Xavier Lestrade, CEO of AXA Health International, which operates the AXA Global Healthcare brand, said:

“The findings reveal a clear generational divide in how expats experience and manage their mental wellbeing. Younger adults are far more open in acknowledging challenges and seeking support, while older generations often report fewer issues and tend to rely on more traditional pathways. Both approaches have their strengths – whether it’s the resilience and perspective of older adults, or the proactive attitude of younger people towards managing their wellbeing. There’s a real opportunity here for generations to learn from one another.”

For expats, who often face isolation, cultural adjustment, and barriers to traditional healthcare, the growing use of AI and digital tools signals a need for more flexible, accessible support. AXA Global Healthcare is adapting its services accordingly – from tailored access to healthcare professionals worldwide to its all-in-one health app that integrates physical and mental health resources in a single platform.
