Why Liquid Cooling – and Why Now?
Traditional air cooling is inadequate for modern data centers due to increased power densities and thermal loads from advanced processors. Air is no longer sufficient to manage the heat and power densities driven by AI, HPC, and cloud workloads.
Liquid cooling’s superior heat transfer capabilities support higher-density computing, reduces power usage, and enhances hardware longevity, while helping companies meet sustainability goals
Iceotope + maincubes Collaboration
Iceotope’s precision, chassis-level liquid cooling technology combined with maincubes’ secure, resilient data center infrastructure provide a turnkey solution that can easily scale from proof of concept to multi‑megawatt deployments.
This joint solution enables a modular, high‑density environment for AI and cloud providers that supports today’s workloads while meeting long-term sustainability and regulatory requirements.
Secure, AI-Ready Performance
At the core of this joint solution is Iceotope’s sealed, liquid-cooled chassis technology that efficiently captures heat, operates without fans, and minimizes cooling costs. maincubes guarantees uninterrupted availability and redundant systems in their highly available, high security datacenters located throughout Europe.
Meeting Sustainability & Energy Efficiency Mandates
Liquid cooling significantly reduces power and water usage and supports renewable energy initiatives. This is especially important for companies like maincubes, as ESG requirements for data centers in Europe are now mandated by law. Datacenter operators must provide detailed sustainability reporting to EU and national databases.
Efficient. Scalable. Future-Proof.
As AI and HPC workloads continue to accelerate, the infrastructure that supports them must also advance and evolve. Working with Iceotope, maincubes datacenters remain on the cutting-edge, providing energy efficiency and scalability to handle the needs of high-density, sustainable computing now and in the future.
