Uses the technology developed for the consumer market

Asetek, a company well renowned for its liquid cooling solutions, has just announced its plans of entering into the HPC cluster and data center market with a series of new solutions which utilize the company’s liquid cooling technology developed in the consumer space.

These solutions are designed to chill both CPUs and GPU units and Asetek has spit these into three general levels of server cooling.

The simplest of these uses an internal cooling lop similar to the one employed in consumer liquid cooling systems (such as the Antec KHULER H20 620) and according to Asetek was designed to enable the use of fast, high wattage CPUs in high density servers.

The second group includes rack liquid cooling solutions, which were designed to removes processor and or GPU heat from rack servers and blades out of the data center without the use of traditional computer room air conditioners or water chillers.

Finally, the last level of server cooling is called “Sealed Server Liquid Cooling” by Asetek and these systems were built in order to remove all server heat from the data center via liquid, to effectively enable high-density clusters to operate at ambient room temperatures.

“We have studied the server market and engaged with our customers. While much of what is written suggests that the problem of data center cooling is monolithic, we have discovered the need is for a diverse set of solutions to meet specific data center performance, density and efficiency objectives,” said André Sloth Eriksen, Founder and CEO of Asetek.

“Using proven Asetek technology to engineer a range of cooling solutions gives Asetek a unique ability to address the wide diversity of cooling challenges that exist in the HPC and data center market today,” concluded the company’s rep.
