Empowering data centres with highperformance chip cooling solutions

Rittal , a leading global system provider of IT infrastructure as well as industrial solutions and ZutaCore , a waterless , two-phase , liquid cooling company , have announced a strategic partnership .

Together they offer highly efficient data centre cooling solutions and will enable customers to cool processors up to and above 900W . Now data centre owners and operators can harness computer power at significantly higher densities from the CPU level through to server , rack and data centre levels .

The global data centre liquid cooling market is expected to grow from US $ 1.2 billion in 2019 to US $ 3.2 billion by 2024 , at a Compound Annual Growth Rate ( CAGR ) of near 25 % during the forecast period ( MarketsandMarkets ). With the growth of applications , such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning , data centre decision-makers need a cooling platform that will meet and surpass the challenges of high-powered processors .
“ Data centre owners are very interested in liquid cooling solutions as a way to manage new high-performance workloads that are disruptive to the rest of the data centre environment . However , many are hesitant to introduce new technologies into their environments – especially those that introduce liquids adjacent to their mission-critical electronics . The partnership between long-time and trusted data centre provider , Rittal and ZutaCore , will alleviate hesitations to adoption and open up opportunities for much greater efficiencies in data centre cooling ,” said Jennifer Cooke , Research Director for IDC ’ s Cloud to Edge Datacentre Trends and Strategies team at IDC .
“ ZutaCore is a dynamic partner with a depth of expertise in liquid cooling technology . Combining this pioneering two-phase cooling technology with our scalable IT racks and cooling systems will create a data centre revolution at a global scale ,” stated Dr Thomas Steffen , Managing Director Research & Development , Rittal .
As a leading global system provider , Rittal is prepared to accommodate the most diverse requirements across industries and has established itself as a major player in data centre cooling . Incorporating ZutaCore ’ s solution into its platform recognises the complementary LCP technologies . Together they can alleviate cooling boundaries from hot spots to the Edge , consistently , in any climate . The unique benefits of waterless liquid cooling are critical to achieving unparalleled heat dissipation while mitigating the risk of IT failure . intelligent POWER AND COOLING
“ This marks a major milestone for ZutaCore as we partner with a global leader in end-to-end solutions for innovative IT environments – from Edge to hyperscale computing ,” said Erez Freibach , Co-founder and CEO at ZutaCore . “ This partnership will bring tremendous value to data centres globally as customers can now rely on trusted integrated solutions from Rittal embedding advanced , waterless liquid cooling from ZutaCore to densify data centres , decrease complexity and lower costs . By partnering with Rittal , we are ready to change the dialogue and get to the heart of the growing demand to provide effective cooling solutions from the rack to complete data centres worldwide .” ◊
