DCTradeKorea Signs MOU with Global Cooling Solutions Leader EVAPCO to Strengthen Data Center Infrastructure Collaboration

SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Data center brokerage and consulting platform DCTradeKorea has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with global cooling technology solutions provider EVAPCO, launching full-scale collaboration on data center infrastructure.

DCTradeKorea announced on January 22, 2026 that it had signed an MOU with EVAPCO for cooperation in the data center and industrial infrastructure sectors. This agreement comes amid rapidly increasing demand for data centers driven by the proliferation of AI and cloud computing, highlighting the growing importance of infrastructure strategies that comprehensively consider power, cooling, and energy efficiency.

DCTradeKorea is the first company in Korea to specialize in data center consulting, providing services spanning the entire data center lifecycle. These include brokerage for data center sales and leasing, alongside location analysis, power supply and demand reviews, and feasibility assessments. As data centers are increasingly recognized as strategic infrastructure rather than mere facilities, demand for professional reviews from the initial project stages is also rising.

Particularly within the data center market, cooling efficiency and operational stability have emerged as critical factors due to the adoption of high-density servers and increased power consumption. As cooling methods and thermal management strategies during the development phase directly impact long-term operational costs and energy efficiency, the importance of technology-based infrastructure review is also growing.

Through this MOU, DCTradeKorea has established a cooperative foundation to more systematically review cooling and thermal management elements during data center brokerage and consulting processes. This enables infrastructure reviews considering cooling design and energy efficiency from the initial stages of data center property assessment and feasibility analysis, fostering a more realistic project review environment.

EVAPCO is a global provider of cooling and thermal management solutions for data centers and industrial infrastructure, possessing technologies applicable to projects of diverse scales and types, alongside its range of cooling towers and dry coolers. DCTradeKorea plans to significantly enhance the expertise and completeness of infrastructure reviews demanded within the domestic data center market through this collaboration.

The industry is watching closely to see whether this agreement, as a case of cooperation between data center brokerage/consultancy and a global technology company, could serve as a signal for the future trend of specialization within the data center market.

2026 SEAL Sustainable Product Award winner IrriSense 2 brings smart, multi-zone irrigation to spring lawn care – designed to cut water use by up to 40%

ATLANTA, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Aiper, the world's No.1 smart robotic pool cleaner brand^[1] and leader in smart yard innovation, is bringing its 2026 SEAL Sustainable Product Award-winning IrriSense 2 smart irrigation system to market. The recognition underscores the measurable impact and purpose-built approach to sustainability behind the IrriSense 2. Designed to deliver precision, sustainability, and simplicity in one integrated solution, IrriSense 2 replaces traditional irrigation systems with an intelligent, easy-to-install ecosystem that conserves water while promoting healthier landscapes.

Unlike conventional irrigation systems that rely on underground hardware, fixed timers, and professional installation, IrriSense 2 delivers a complete irrigation ecosystem in a single device that installs in just 15 minutes, making it easier for homeowners to get their yards ready for spring. At its core, IrriSense 2 is the world's first 4-in-1 multi-zone smart irrigation system, replacing the controller, rotor sprinklers, electric valve, and nutrient feeder with one connected solution.

Water-Saving Precision Irrigation Designed for Every Yard

As lawns emerge from winter dormancy and gardens prepare for new growth, IrriSense 2 enables homeowners to manage up to ten independent watering zones, tailoring irrigation plans based on specific plant types and landscape needs. Through plant-specific irrigation mapping, users can control watering depth, frequency, and schedules for each zone, ensuring efficient hydration without overwatering.

To support this level of precision across the entire yard, the system delivers EvenRain™ coverage across up to 445 square meters, simulating natural rainfall to create a soft, uniform water curtain designed to protect soil and newly planted seeds while eliminating dry patches and reducing runoff. TÜV-certified pressure stability ensures consistent performance while maximizing absorption and minimizing waste.

Powered by Aiper's Weather-Sense™ Response System, IrriSense 2 uses real-time weather intelligence to automatically adjust irrigation. If rain is forecast, watering is delayed, while periods of extreme heat trigger increased irrigation only where needed. A built-in rain sensor detects unexpected precipitation and stops irrigation automatically, helping homeowners achieve up to 40% water savings compared to traditional irrigation.

Smart Control from a Simple Setup

Simple installation designed for homeowners - no tools, trenching, or wiring required. Users simply snap the modules together, connect to Wi-Fi, map their yard in the Aiper app, and the system is ready in fifteen minutes. The app serves as the irrigation command center, offering intelligent scheduling, real-time water tracking, zone-level insights, and remote control from anywhere. Users can manage irrigation while traveling or allow the system to operate autonomously for a truly hands-free experience.

Engineered for year-round durability, IrriSense 2 is built on an Engineered Resilience Framework, featuring UV-resistant housing, freeze-safe drainage, corrosion-resistant copper fittings, and quiet operation under 60 decibels, ensuring long-term performance in all conditions.

Award-Winning Innovation and Sustainability Leadership

Presented by the SEAL Awards, which recognize products designed to deliver real environmental progress, the honor reflects the ability of IrriSense 2 to reduce water waste through intelligent design, precision control, and adaptive, real-time decision-making, demonstrating that sustainability can be achieved through smarter engineering rather than added complexity.

In addition to the 2026 SEAL Sustainable Product Award win, the IrriSense 2 has earned significant industry recognition for its innovation, design, and sustainability impact. Honors include:

• Digital Trends Publisher Awards – CES 2026
• Gadgety Awards Best of CES Honoree 2026
• Netzwelt Innovation Awards 2026 Honoree
• PC Welt Best of CES 2026
• Reviewed Best Tech Product Awards
• Techlicious Editor's Choice – CES 2026

Aiper's leadership in sustainable design began with the first-generation IrriSense, which received the IDEA Design Bronze Award for excellence in product design. That recognition reflects a sustainability-driven design philosophy that continues with the IrriSense 2. The first- generation IrriSense was also honored with a CES Innovation Award in 2025, establishing the IrriSense line as a leader in smart irrigation.

IrriSense 2 is available for purchase starting today at $499.99 on Aiper.com and Amazon.com.
