Cloud / Hyperscale

The mass scale of IT deployment in cloud/hyperscale gives rise to unique challenges

While cost, simplicity, and serviceability are of extreme importance, the sheer size of scale gives rise to the increasing need to focus and optimise solutions from an energy efficiency and water use perspective. While air cooling, most likely free-air with evaporative cooling, has served the hyperscalers well, size of deployments are now demanding new focus and innovation on emerging technologies and solutions. Exacerbating the hyperscale challenges is the disruption of high-density, high-power racks running hotter chips required for data analytics and machine learning algorithms. These high-power solutions dictate the need for an increase in the physical space required for the necessary cooling equipment.

At Iceotope, we’re tackling these emerging challenges head on. Our chassis-level liquid cooling solutions – with precision delivery technologies – can easily accommodate the increasing heat loads from the latest processor roadmaps and manage them effectively. They also bring game-changing reductions in energy and water consumption, and significant cost reductions in the design, build and operation of data centres.
