Shift Thermal's FLEX™ thermal storage cuts what your cooling draws at peak and puts that power toward compute, so the same site does more work.

A data center's power is split across compute, cooling, and overhead, and new capacity is slow and expensive to bring online. Cutting the power that cooling draws at peak leaves more for compute.
FLEX shifts cooling away from peak demand, cutting the peak draw of your cooling system. That reclaimed capacity goes straight to IT.

FLEX is a patented heat-exchange innovation that makes low-cost, energy-dense phase change materials perform where they normally couldn't. It's highly scalable and built from standard parts.
Shift Thermal was founded by two Cornell PhDs who joined the inaugural cohort of Innovation Crossroads, a DOE-backed program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. FLEX is protected by 3 patents granted and 6 pending.

In commercial and industrial cooling, FLEX is field-deployed today, with the potential to cut energy costs by up to 50%. That foundation is what the data-center design is built from.
FLEX is proven in cooling and now aimed at the power constraint in data centers.
