Johnson Controls introduces scalable liquid cooling solution for Asia Pacific’s high-density data centres

  • Silent-Aire CDUs offer scalable cooling from 500kW to 10MW for high-density data centres in Asia Pacific
  • Flexible, space-saving design with built-in redundancy helps achieve maximum availability and rapid deployment in dense urban markets like Singapore
  • Johnson Controls full thermal portfolio can cut non-IT energy use by up to 50%, boosting efficiency even in warm-climate data centre hubs

SINGAPORE, Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), the global leader in smart, safe, healthy, and sustainable buildings, today announced the launch of its Silent-Aire Coolant Distribution platform at Data Centre World Asia 2025 in Singapore, expanding its thermal management portfolio to meet the growing demands of high-density data centres. The new CDUs offer scalable cooling capacities ranging from 500kW to over 10MW, with flexible configurations that suit any data centre deployment. Units can be installed in-row or along the whitespace perimeter, supporting diverse liquid-cooling and hybrid designs. This versatility ensures precise, efficient cooling across a spectrum of high-performance environments, from edge-based inference to full-scale AI factories.


To maximise uptime, efficiency and space constraints, the system offers built-in component redundancy with up to three heat exchangers and three pumps in one system, an innovation that minimises the need for additional units, saving valuable space and supporting the “five nines” uptime needs of data centre professionals. Further bolstering system performance, advanced control capabilities enable each unit to operate independently or in unison, automatically adapting to rapid fluctuations in cooling demand or component failures without manual intervention. Together, these features represent a significant advantage over other options and the perfect solution in land-constrained markets like Singapore. 

“As AI accelerates, denser chips are generating unprecedented heat, making cooling innovation a critical priority. The launch of this expanded series of CDU technology marks a pivotal step in our commitment to advance data centre cooling,” said Ali Badreddine, vice president, Data Centre Solutions and Project Delivery, Asia Pacific, Johnson Controls. “By collaborating with leading ecosystem players in the hyperscale, colocation and semiconductor industry, we’ve engineered an innovative and scalable platform that meets the demands of next-generation AI training and inference hardware.”

This launch builds on Johnson Controls’ broad portfolio of existing Silent-Aire, York and M&M Carnot thermal management products that serve data centres worldwide. By adopting Johnson Controls’ comprehensive thermal management solutions, owners and operators can significantly improve total facility efficiency through the company’s innovation, scalability and consistency. Since 2020, large data centres have typically had to divert more than 30% of their energy consumption to cooling and other non-IT functions. Johnson Controls’ solutions can reduce non-IT energy consumption by nearly 50% even in the Asia Pacific data centre hubs with the warmest climates.

Johnson Controls delivers an integrated approach for data centre customers, supporting the full lifecycle of building operations. From thermal management and building automation to fire protection, physical security, energy efficiency, and digitally connected services, the company’s solutions work seamlessly together to enable intelligent, high-performance environments. This technology is backed by a global network of more than 40,000 field and service technicians, ensuring dependable maintenance, rapid parts delivery and consistent service worldwide.

Johnson Controls manufactures the Silent-Aire CDUs at facilities across Asia Pacific, North America and Europe. With more than 1.8 million square feet of production floorspace, this global footprint helps to increase capacity needed to meet the accelerated pace of data centre development.  

In 2025, Johnson Controls was named a top thermal management provider for data centres by ABI Research, recognising its excellence in innovation, implementation and customer-centric approach as well as named to the Fortune Change the World list for its YORK® YVAM Air-Cooled Magnetic Bearing chiller for its market-leading capabilities that reduce power consumption by 40%, consume zero on-site water and operate at low noise levels, demonstrating how advanced technology can drive sustainability and deliver meaningful societal benefits.

HMI-115 demonstrated statistically significant improvement in endometriosis pain

The mean dysmenorrhea pain score was reduced by 42%

The mean non-menstrual pelvic pain score was reduced by 52%

Most of the patients had normal menstrual periods

No typical peri-menopausal symptoms were reported

There were no significant changes in bone mineral density and sex hormone levels

About 190 million women worldwide have endometriosis, making up a market size of $200billion

SHANGHAI, Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hope Medicine Inc. (‘HopeMed’), a clinical-stage innovative biopharmaceutical company, announced successful completion of a global Phase 2 study, ” A Randomized, Multicenter, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of HMI-115 in Women with Moderate to Severe Endometriosis Associated Pain Over a 12-Week Treatment Period”. HMI-115 is a monoclonal antibody that blocks the prolactin receptor. It is a potential first-in-class treatment for endometriosis.

This study included 108 female patients with surgically diagnosed endometriosis in US, Poland and China. HMI-115 demonstrated statistically significant improvement of endometriosis associated pain. HMI-115 was well-tolerated with no treatment-related serious adverse events. Specifically, at the end of the study treatment, the least-square-mean dysmenorrhea pain score was reduced by 42% in the 240 mg q2w group, compared to that of the baseline. The least-square-mean non-menstrual pelvic pain score was reduced by 52%. These reductions are statistically significant. No typical peri-menopausal symptoms were reported. There were no significant changes in menstrual patterns, bone mineral density and sex hormone levels including estradiol, LH, FSH and progesterone.

“Endometriosis is a common and debilitating disease. The findings from this proof-of-concept study are exciting,” said Lan Zhu, Director of Gynecology at Peking Union Medical College Hospital and leading investigator of this Phase 2 study, “HMI-115 relieved endometriosis pain in women without disturbing their sex hormones. It can potentially shift the treatment paradigm. We will be able to treat women without menopausal side effects or even infertility.”

“HMI-115 is the first prolactin receptor blocker that can treat women with endometriosis,” said Professor Rui-Ping Xiao, founder of Hope Medicine, “it is also first non-hormonal treatment worldwide that cleared proof-of-concept. Hope Medicine is a leading company in this global consortium to improve women’s health.”

“HMI-115 is Phase 3 ready,” said Nathan Chen, CEO, “we are communicating with key regulatory agencies, including FDA and NMPA, to finalize the Phase 3 protocol and to initiate Phase 3 studies worldwide.”

About Endometriosis

About approximately 190 million women worldwide have endometriosis, making up a global market size of approximately $200 billion dollars. Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease characterized by the implantation of endometrial cells in locations outside the endometrium, typically presenting as chronic inflammation. The endometrium is a layer of mucosal tissue within the uterine cavity that undergoes hormone dependent changes during the menstrual cycle. Endometriosis is common in women of childbearing age, and its global incidence rate is about 10% in women of childbearing age. Symptoms include lower abdominal and pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, painful intercourse, and infertility. Endometriosis negatively impacts patients’ quality of life and sex, psychology, and social behavior.

From Debt Stress to Relief, FLIN Pioneers a New Era of Tech-Based Debt Settlement

JAKARTA, Indonesia, Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The growing number of online loan defaults has become a primary concern in the current financial state of society. Citing Tempo, as of June 2025, total outstanding online loans grew 25.06% year-on-year, reaching Rp83.52 trillion. The default rate also increased to 2.85%, indicating that many people are overwhelmed by installments across multiple platforms.

Moreover, Financial Services Authority (OJK) data shows that a single individual can hold more than 40 online loans simultaneously, as reported by CNBC. This situation not only burdens personal finances but also poses potential risks to broader economic stability.

In response to this, FLIN, a financial consulting company, was established to address the debt burden problems faced by salaried employees. FLIN is an ISO 27001 company with a certificate of operations from KOMDIGI and is a leading provider of the Dana Talangan Program. This program allows people to combine all debts into one loan with a flexible tenor, low interest, and minimal installments. FLIN provides debt consolidation solutions for credit card bills, paylater, online loans (pinjol), and unsecured personal loans (KTA).

The presence of FLIN is considered a breath of fresh air in the midst of this debt crisis. Proven over the past nine months, the company, backed by the reputed and leading investors from the United States and India, has recorded rapid growth. More than 300 bailout funds have been successfully distributed, along with 5000+ debt consultation sessions. As a result, 98% of clients expressed satisfaction and 100% felt financially helped, with a service rating of 4.8 on Google. More real-time success stories can be found on the FLIN official website.

“Many clients who have debts in more than three banks and online loans do not know how to pay installments that are already higher than their income. We help fix this problem by providing financial education and debt consolidation/ restructuring through the Program Dana Talangan,” said the FLIN management team.

With an empathy and technology-based approach, FLIN not only solves the problem of short-term debt repayment but also helps clients build a healthy financial foundation. The reason is that, during the program, each individual will be accompanied and educated by a professional and highly dedicated team.

This effort is made because many employees actually have the financial capacity to pay off their debts, but have difficulty because they don’t know where to start or have not found the right way. FLIN strongly believes that individual financial resilience is a critical element in strengthening Indonesia’s macro economy. Furthermore, FLIN targets to expand its service reach to various regions in Indonesia and increase financial literacy through educational content and strategic partnerships with various institutions. This step is expected to help more individuals recover from financial stress, ease critical debt burden, while also being a driver of long-term socio-economic transformation in Indonesia

About FLIN

FLIN is Indonesia’s leading financial consulting company and provider of the Dana Talangan (Bailout Fund) Program, focusing on debt settlement and consolidation for salaried employees. Partnering with trusted financial institutions, FLIN delivers secure, transparent, and empathetic financial solutions. With a mission to help Indonesians achieve lasting financial freedom, FLIN combines technology, education, and integrity to redefine how people manage and overcome debt.

New White Paper by APAC CVD Alliance and Deloitte Charts Path to Tackle Rising Heart Failure Burden in Asia-Pacific

  • 32 million people in Asia-Pacific live with heart failure, and this number is rising fast.
  • New blueprint targets a 20% cut in hospitalisations and 15% boost in survival rates within 5 years.
  • Urgent call for early diagnosis, digital and community-based care, and sustainable financing to save lives and reduce costs.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Asia Pacific Cardiovascular Disease Alliance (APAC CVD Alliance), in collaboration with Deloitte, has released a groundbreaking White Paper, Improving Heart Failure Policy and Management in Asia Pacific: Opportunities for Impact, highlighting the urgent need for tailored policy interventions to address the growing burden of heart failure (HF) across the region.

Drawing on analysis of eight key territories – Australia, Mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan region, Thailand, and Vietnam – the report reveals significant gaps in policy visibility, access to diagnostics and therapies, healthcare infrastructure, and public awareness. With close to 32 million people in the region currently living with HF, and prevalence projected to rise steadily in the coming decades, the paper warns that without coordinated action, the impact on patients, health systems, and economies will intensify.

“Heart failure is silently claiming lives across Asia-Pacific, yet it remains hidden in policy shadows,” said Dr. Krishna Reddy, Cardiologist and APAC CVD Alliance representative. “This white paper lays out the evidence and concrete steps for action. The time for fragmented approaches is over. Together, we can bring heart failure out of the margins and give millions a chance at longer, healthier lives.”

The report highlights that HF is not only a clinical challenge but a profound human and social one, with patients across the region facing loss of independence, high rates of depression and anxiety, and heavy reliance on caregivers who often lack adequate support. Beyond this, HF threatens economic sustainability. In some middle-income economies, it consumes over 10% of national health expenditure, while productivity losses and caregiving burdens amplify the costs to society.

To tackle the growing burden of HF in the region, the white paper translates insights into action through key recommendations, including:

  • Elevating HF as a distinct health priority with dedicated budgets, strategies with measurable targets, and integration into universal health coverage plans.
  • Strengthening early diagnosis through greater use of NT-proBNP testing, across primary and tertiary care, alongside public awareness campaigns to enhance symptom recognition.
  • Expanding follow-up and long-term care via multidisciplinary HF clinics, digital health tools, and community-based workforce models.
  • Improving access to innovative diagnostics and therapies by aligning clinical guidelines with reimbursement systems.
  • Investing in national HF registries and regional collaboration to standardise data, improve monitoring, and share best practices.

Kavita Rekhraj, Deloitte Asia Pacific & Southeast Asia Life Sciences & Health Care Leader said, “By combining data-driven insights with pragmatic policy recommendations, this report offers a blueprint for change, giving governments and healthcare leaders a practical pathway to reduce hospitalisations, improve survival, and deliver better quality of life across Asia-Pacific.”

The white paper sets ambitious targets, with recommendations aimed at reducing HF-related hospitalisations by 20% and improving patient survival rates by 15% within five years. These outcomes will depend on local contexts and sustained commitment, with a phased approach that pilots reforms in mature health systems before scaling to emerging ones through tailored capacity-building support.

HF care in Asia-Pacific stands at a pivotal crossroads. Without urgent action, health systems will be overwhelmed and patients left behind. This white paper sets out an actionable strategy: invest in early detection, scale digital and community-based care, secure sustainable financing, and support patients and caregivers alike.

As the world marked World Heart Day on 29 September, the APAC CVD Alliance and Deloitte encourage governments, healthcare providers, and industry partners to move from awareness to action, to prioritise heart failure, save lives, reduce costs, and build resilient, equitable health systems for the future.
