Ku : l Extreme is a highly ruggedised Micro Data Centre solution for distributing enterprise-grade computing to extreme Edge environments where people , airborne contaminants , moisture and the elements provide a real IT challenge and threat . This game-changing solution is single server enabled , ultra-efficient and highly scalable . It provides zero-touch operation with advanced Out of Band Management offering complete control of the entire system , remotely .
Iceotope Technologies , CEO , David Craig , said : “ Today , IT and data centre managers are being tasked to meet targets for sustainability while data gravity creates more complexity as it draws more and more processing and analytics power to the Edge , in closer proximity to the point of use . This OEM agreement with HPE provides access to the most efficient and effective solution for maintaining servers in an optimum environment for reliable IT services .”
The announcement of the OEM agreement with HPE follows on from the 2019 formation of a strategic alliance between Iceotope , Schneider Electric and Avnet – the global technology solutions provider

– to offer an innovative response to challenges driven by rising chip and rack densities , pressures to increase energy efficiency , space constraints , water usage restrictions and harsh edge environments . With RedFish-compliant Out-of-Band- Management capabilities and Schneider Electric ’ s EcoStruxure IT solution , remote monitoring and management is taken to a new level enabling proactive insights on critical assets that impact the health and availability of IT environments , so infrastructure performance is optimised and risk is minimised .
Phil Cutrone , Vice President and General Manager of Service Providers , OEM and Major Accounts at HPE , said : “ There is a greater need for zero-touch Edge Computing capabilities to ensure reliability at remote locations when in-person monitoring and maintenance is not always feasible . Our latest collaboration with Iceotope Technologies addresses these requirements by

integrating Iceotope ’ s Ku : l Extreme chassis with high-performing HPE ProLiant servers that feature HPE Integrated Lights Out ( iLo ) for out-of-band communications management . The combined solution enables customers to access high density applications using precision immersion , liquid-cooled racks for instant deployment in any environment , whether it is in onpremises in a data centre or at the Edge .”
Chassis-level precision immersion cooling for the IT stack from the cloud to the Edge
Liquid cooling offers significant benefits in the area of simplicity , cost , heat capture and energy efficiency . While these advantages are both tangible and measurable , other liquid cooling technologies will have design constraints that are likely to be imposed on the IT design with possible performance limitations depending on the solution provider . ◊
