Is liquid cooling driving sustainable decision-making?

Moore’s law is slowing down, but if performance requirements are to be met, power to chip ratio must be increased. DIN takes a deep dive into the many thermal challenges that this presents and why liquid cooling solutions are so vital for enabling sustainability and efficiency gains

In this excellent insight, Martin Bradburn – CEO @ Peasoup – tells DIN about his company’s journey towards using a Liquid Cooling solution for their servers. We also hear about the significant efficiency gains with side-by-side comparisons to their previous solution and how this has played a key part in Peasoup’s sustainability goals.

Improved IT load life longevity and performance is a key value that immersion cooling solutions provide. In this talk, Serge Conesa – CEO @ Immersion 4 – tells DIN why this is only the tip of the iceberg and how this technology supports and enhances local economies around the world.

The term sustainability encourages action towards improvement in almost every aspect of our daily lives – data centers included. The rise in popularity of Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Reporting is demanding changes around how data centers are built, operated and managed, with these changes helping companies to secure investment by helping them meet their sustainability targets. Join Pol to find out why switching to Immersion Cooling is the logical step for companies today. Pol will be joined by Andreea Constantinescu, Head of Climate Technology Investments at Planet First Partners and Sergio Henrique Collaço de Carvalho, Head of Impact at Planet First Partners.

Data center sustainability has risen to the top for decision makers, calling for significant technology transitions. The global need to move to Net Zero by 2030, use less water, power and land, and reuse heat in the data center is now!   ZutaCore is leading the move to an eco-safe Data Center, delivering a direct-on-chip, waterless, two-phase liquid cooling solution to the mainstream. Join Udi Paret, President US of ZutaCore to hear how to unlock the power of sustainable cooling with zero disruption to the data center.

In this session, Brandon Peterson, Vice President Product of CoolIT Systems, will discuss the current status of direct liquid cooling (DLC) in the industry, what got us to the point we are at today and where we are heading to next.           

The ever increasing power consumption of individual chips makes the introduction of liquid cooling, in one form or another, unavoidable. This leads naturally to distribution of a coolant with the white space, leading to understandable concerns from the investor and operating community. Plastic pipes are state-of-the-art technology in semi-conductor fabs, offshore industry, chemical handling and many more highly demanding global industries. GFs in-house engineering support, its global network of fabrication shops, as well as its wide portfolio of products will help you achieve the demanding goals facing mission critical facilities the next years. Join Mark Bulmer, with 25 years of experience of engineered plastic pipes in core and critical environments, to hear how liquid cooling and plastics pipes can help you achieve the carbon neutral data center of the future.

Now more than ever before, data centre operators have an opportunity to move away from previous ways of doing business towards ones with much greater efficiency and sustainability. In this session we will examine the ways liquid cooling can assist data centre sustainability targets. We’ll discuss the characteristics of liquid cooling that deliver bottom-line benefits as well as ecological advantages to data centre operators. Finally, we’ll look at the ways liquid cooling is helping deliver competitive advantage in this highly commercialised sector. 

Data centers are using more power than ever to power our digital world and we must keep improving data center efficiency to be sustainable. Liquid cooling can reduce the power consumed by data centers. Data center operators are concerned about leaks, downtime, unfamiliarity with liquid cooling and worries about vendor supply chains. Negative pressure liquid cooling eliminates the fear of leaks, N+1 CDUs and air back up cooling makes downtime unlikely, and automatic coolant quality control prevents problems in coolant chemistry. Open and honest discussion about problems and solutions can allow liquid cooling to proliferate and open the door to energy and carbon savings.

In this conversation, Vice-President at PermAlert – Will Leong – discusses how their systems are enabling the transition of liquid cooling technology in Data Centers globally by preventing catastrophic failures and down time caused by extensive service interruptions.

Sustainability is becoming an ever-hotter issue in the public, political, and corporate realms. That’s why, working with Intel, we developed this white paper that provides an in-depth look at why liquid immersion cooling is the obvious solution for data centers striving to meet sustainability goals, yet still keep up with the relentless demand for more compute.

In this session, Edgar van Essen – Managing Director at Switch Data Centers – shares his insights into the construction of the next generation of data centers and tells DIN why liquid cooling will provide an essential service for the circular economy of the wider data center industry.
