In this paper, we examine ten things to consider when implementing liquid cooling in your data centre. We compare and contrast two predominant types of liquid cooling – direct-to-chip and chassis-level precision immersion.
Introduction
In technology, as in life, curiosity pushes the limits of what can be accomplished. With industries such as life sciences, financial services, energy and healthcare leveraging GPUs to extract greater insights and drive innovation, the limits to air cooling are quickly being reached. Long the default standard within the industry, accelerating AI and HPC workloads are increasing chip densities which requires more airflow to move heat away from the chip, thus maxing out the capabilities of the technology.
Liquid cooling removes heat more efficiently, making it ideal for data center operators as they deal with – in addition to rising densities – pressure to reduce energy consumption, space constraints, water usage restrictions and harsh IT environments. The question of whether or not to deploy liquid cooling is quickly being replaced with when and how to do so.
In this paper we will examine ten things to consider when implementing liquid cooling in your data center. We will compare and contrast two predominant types of liquid cooling – direct-to-chip and Precision Liquid Cooling. These considerations will help as you undergo due diligence to determine which cooling technology will best meet your needs and maximize your competitive advantage.
