A two-dimensional liquid cooling system for data centers. A horizontal assembly is positioned above the IT cluster and serves as the main cooling unit. A vertical unit is positioned besides several IT clusters and is connected to several horizontal units and can be used as a backup or for enhanced cooling performance for any of the clusters. The horizontal assembly includes a cooling module that has a cooling unit, a coolant module that receives chilled liquid from the cooling unit and provides cooling liquid to a distribution layer which includes a supply loop and a return loop. The vertical unit is coupled to a plurality of supply and return loops so as to provide cooling liquid to several clusters. The cooling system and entire data center are modularized in different configurations.
