Supermicro introduces liquid cooling solutions to meet demands of top-performing data centres

Super Micro Computer , a global leader in enterprise computing , storage , networking and green computing technology , is making available a range of liquid cooling solutions that reduce costs and allow the most demanding applications to run with less jitter and at faster CPU frequencies .

Working with customers , Supermicro will design , implement and test the latest liquid cooling technologies at the rack level , ensuring a quick and seamless installation in customers ’ data centres worldwide . Customers that implement a liquid cooling solution can improve data centre PUE and TCO by over 40 % on power costs .
“ Supermicro has established dedicated teams to work with customers and partners to deliver state-of-the-art rack level liquid cooling solutions that enable systems which are used for the most demanding applications to remain operational under heavy computationally loads ,” said Charles Liang , President , and CEO , Supermicro . “ Our most popular servers – GPU , SuperBlade , BigTwin and Ultra systems – are easily outfitted with liquid cooling technology that reduces OpEx while keeping these systems operating at maximum performance levels .”
Popular systems
These selected Supermicro systems , including the latest GPU Systems , SuperBlades , BigTwin and Ultra systems , are ideal for data centres with demanding applications . Supermicro experts have identified these servers as the best choice for AI , HPC and related workloads where high-frequency and densely packed CPUs and GPUs are required .
Types of cooling offered
Supermicro has designed effective cooling solutions from small to large
scale by carefully evaluating each customer ’ s specific requirements and limitations , including Direct to Chip ( D2C ) cooling , immersion cooling , Rear-door Heat Exchanger ( RDHx ) cooling , or a combination of these technologies .
Liquid cooling solutions give IT managers the confidence to run Supermicro servers at sustaining maximum performance levels , increasing the ROI of high-end servers .
A range of liquid cooling technologies can be used , depending on the data centre ’ s physical infrastructure . D2C cooling can be installed in each server , or entire systems can be immersed in a liquid for maximum heat removal . Supermicro works very closely with customers to determine the best suitable liquid cooling solution . Engineers will design the solution based on the types of systems chosen and the data centre infrastructure . All or part of a data centre can utilise liquid cooling technologies , optimising the operating environment . ◊
