Some of the biggest current challenges for large data centers are related to high temperatures, with air flow and at the same time provide adequate cooling for high performance components used in dedicated servers.

Thinking of alternatives for this scenario, Tuesday (29) Gigabyte Announces Participation in Single-Phase Immersion Liquid Cooling Project (without evaporation), developed in a joint venture with the Japanese company KDDI.

The developed solution is still in the proof-of-concept stage. independent portable container for immersion of all components in a special solution, which, according to the companies, results in a very high cooling efficiency of the parts, while at the same time reducing operating costs and, in general, the environmental impact.

According to the announcement, KDDI approached Gigabyte for its data center expertise and for holding several large-scale liquid cooling technologies needed to create a more efficient system.

Growing demand for cloud computing

Cloud computing has become one of the biggest trends in a global technology market where thousands of companies are increasingly relying on remote servers to perform their tasks. This gives rise to a growing concern about how to structure data centers from an engineering perspective.

In this scenario, the solution shown by Gigabyte was very promising, achieving power efficiency (PUE) on a scale of 1.2 to 1.3 – versus a PUE of 1.7, which is the average of today’s air-cooled data centers. This result can provide energy savings of the order of 30-50%..

So far, tests are being carried out at the Gigabyte factory. If successful, this innovation could lead to reduction of energy consumption to 400 million kWh per year by 2030, according to the company. It is not yet known whether the technology will be widely accepted in the market.
