Here’s a brief summary of The Data Center Innovation Will Change the Way You Think About Liquid Cooling, a new special report featuring Chatsworth Products and Zutacore.
Part 1: It's Time to Change the Way You Think About Liquid Cooling: The growing demand for high-density servers to support high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and data analytics workloads at a massive scale is challenging conventional approaches to data center cooling. In our first article, we explore how technology, especially around liquid cooling, has evolved to meet changing demands.
Part 2: The Advantages of Liquid Cooling: The benefits of liquid cooling go beyond power efficiency. As the report outlines, the technology also improves the performance of CPUs and GPUs.
Part 3: Liquid Cooling: Going Beyond Water: Water-based cooling comes with risk and drawbacks, which is why the industry have been moving towards more-efficient chemical alternatives. Go beyond water and dive into the benefits of dielectric fluid and direct-on-chip cooling.
Part 4: How to Prepare Your Data Center for Liquid Cooling: The special report concludes with a short cast study that highlights how one data center implemented direct-on-chip cooling. You’ll also learn how to prepare your data center for the future.
