With data center density levels on the rise, the exponential growth of AI and cognitive systems, and society’s increasing reliance on data centers for everyday tasks, data center leaders are adopting a redesign mentality, especially when it comes to cooling. While air cooling has dominated the data center industry, but it is limited in its ability to dissipate the amount of heat generated by modern workflows. As data center leaders work to more effectively leverage space and density while also maintaining the ability to scale critical resources, many are also taking a hybrid approach to cooling – integrating liquid cooling technologies to support emerging AI use cases.
Download this special report from Opticool that explores the state of cooling in the data center, examining key updates, innovations, demands and trends in the industry. The report discusses the limitations of traditional cooling methods, the history of refrigerant-based cooling, the early development stage of immersion and direct-to-chip cooling, and how two-phase liquid refrigerant heat extraction can meet current demands.
In addition to offering tips for getting started with a different cooling architecture, the report addresses common misconceptions about liquid cooling efficiency and provides real-world examples of how the technology supports some of the most advanced data center use cases.
