2022: Start selling servers and DSS located in water for cooling

In early June 2022, German server and storage manufacturer RNT Rausch announced the start of sales of IT equipment that is located in water for efficient heat removal. We are talking about the so-called immersion cooling. To implement the technology, the company cooperates with Submarine Technologies.

The company is committed to democratizing water cooling prices to reduce the environmental impact of current energy and water demanding cooling systems, the RNT said. Submer technology provides active single-phase immersion cooling for servers and storage systems. The partnership provides for its application in the Tormenta Varioscaler line of RNT servers and BigFoot storage systems.

The partnership between Submer and RNT allows companies of all sizes to deploy their immersion-cooled data center virtually anywhere. A small room is enough to install solutions, and there is no need to install air conditioners for cooling servers or expensive and complex fire extinguishing systems. The room will require simple access control, as well as periodic adjustment of electricity to ensure safety. This cooling solution allows you to store devices in one place, which reduces the area requirements and cost of operation.

Single-phase immersion cooling means that the coolant never changes its state (i.e., does not evaporate into the gas) and is simply pumped through the heat exchanger to transfer heat to the water cooling circuit. The coolant is a dielectric that conducts heat but not electricity, meaning that the entire server or part of it can operate while submerged in it.

Partnerships like this are vital for the industry going forward. }} In addition, liquid cooling is needed not only to implement the concept of high-performance computing. HPC According to forecasts, Cisco the next generation of processors from AMD Intel and will consume 400W of power. Dattatri Mattur, senior director of engineering at Cisco Cloud and Compute, says this means that air cooling will soon become insufficient even for traditional servers, and many data centers will have to use some form of liquid cooling.^[1]
