A system for cooling a data center comprising: a first coolant distribution unit, CDU, controlled exclusively by a first controller, the first CDU comprising: a first valve configured to control a flow of a first facility coolant through the first CDU; and a first pump configured to control a flow of a first data center coolant, wherein the first data center coolant transfers heat from first data center components to the first facility coolant; wherein the first controller is configured to: identify how open the first valve is; and in response to an identified first valve position, adjust a speed of the first pump to change a differential pressure of the first data center coolant flowing to the first data center components; a second CDU, controlled exclusively by a second controller, the second CDU comprising: a second valve configured to control a flow of a second facility coolant through the second CDU; and a second pump configured to control a flow of a second data center coolant, wherein the second data center coolant transfers heat from second data center components to the second facility coolant; wherein the second controller is configured to: identify how open the second valve is; and in response to an identified second valve position, adjust a speed of the second pump to change a differential pressure of the second data center coolant flowing to the second data center components; wherein each controller (204a, 20b) is configured to operate independently of the other CDU (202a, 202b) to balance a cooling load to the first and second data center components. a first coolant distribution unit, CDU, controlled exclusively by a first controller, the first CDU comprising: a first valve configured to control a flow of a first facility coolant through the first CDU; and a first pump configured to control a flow of a first data center coolant, wherein the first data center coolant transfers heat from first data center components to the first facility coolant; a first valve configured to control a flow of a first facility coolant through the first CDU; and a first pump configured to control a flow of a first data center coolant, wherein the first data center coolant transfers heat from first data center components to the first facility coolant; wherein the first controller is configured to: identify how open the first valve is; and in response to an identified first valve position, adjust a speed of the first pump to change a differential pressure of the first data center coolant flowing to the first data center components; identify how open the first valve is; and in response to an identified first valve position, adjust a speed of the first pump to change a differential pressure of the first data center coolant flowing to the first data center components; a second CDU, controlled exclusively by a second controller, the second CDU comprising: a second valve configured to control a flow of a second facility coolant through the second CDU; and a second pump configured to control a flow of a second data center coolant, wherein the second data center coolant transfers heat from second data center components to the second facility coolant; a second valve configured to control a flow of a second facility coolant through the second CDU; and a second pump configured to control a flow of a second data center coolant, wherein the second data center coolant transfers heat from second data center components to the second facility coolant; wherein the second controller is configured to: identify how open the second valve is; and in response to an identified second valve position, adjust a speed of the second pump to change a differential pressure of the second data center coolant flowing to the second data center components; identify how open the second valve is; and in response to an identified second valve position, adjust a speed of the second pump to change a differential pressure of the second data center coolant flowing to the second data center components; wherein each controller (204a, 20b) is configured to operate independently of the other CDU (202a, 202b) to balance a cooling load to the first and second data center components.
