It started in a lab.
Fog began in 2021 as a joint R&D lab with university partners, working on one problem: how to move heat out of a dense rack.
Paul Jin Li, a computer science professor and serial entrepreneur, was not setting out to build data centers. But the thermal loop is the part of the machine that fails first, and solving it meant going outward in both directions: into the power that feeds the rack, and into the modules that hold it.
Five years later that is a full stack. 400MW of it, in 40 countries, and most of it in North America.
