Sealed at chassis level , the new solution enables Artificial Intelligence ( AI ), Machine Learning ( ML ) and High Performance Computing ( HPC ) workloads to be deployed in close proximity to the location of data generation and use regardless of how harsh or hostile the environment .

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR670 2U rack server delivers uncompromised HPC performance with support for up to four double-width GPUs per server . Integrating the servers with Iceotope ’ s Ku : l Chassis eliminates the requirement for any air cooling , delivering game-changing efficiency in energy consumption . More than 95 % of the heat is captured and rejected via an in-rack Heat Rejection Unit ( HRU ) ( 5kW solution ) or dedicated external HRU ( 46kW + scalable solution ).

Iceotope ’ s new Ku : l Micro DC solution enables many industry standard servers to be liquid cooled and deployed outside the data centre . The new solution is offered in two scalable configurations :

• Ku : l Micro DC ( Small ) < 5kW

• Processing power – Up to 4x Lenovo SR670 servers

• Compact footprint – 24U NetShelter

• Integrated cooling includes 5U rack mount liquid to air heat rejection unit

• Monitoring : EcoStruxure IT , Compute Out of Band Management Solution

• Service : Full life cycle – install / decommissioning

• Ku : l Micro DC ( Medium ) 46kW +

• Fully scalable

• Heavy lift processing capability

• Industry standard 48U NetShelter liquid-cooled enclosure

• Heat rejection

• Monitoring

• Service

Chassis-level immersion – cools , protects and increases durability of IT

Using Iceotope ’ s fully serviceable Ku : l liquid-cooled chassis , servers are partially immersed in a small quantity of dielectric coolant precision delivered to hotspots . This means there is no front-to-back air cooling , no bottom-to-top immersion constraints and no physical space wasted .

By removing the need for fans or moving parts , service intervals are greatly increased allowing low-touch compute and nearsilent operation in any location . Industry standard form factors allow maintenance to be carried out on-site with familiar ease and no mess . The Ku : l solution provides further unique value by completely isolating the critical IT from the environment with a perfectly sealed and resilient enclosure . This renders the IT impervious to dust , gases and humidity , enabling HPC in places that weren ’ t possible until now .

Ku : l Micro DC with full remote monitoring and management by Schneider ’ s EcoStruxure IT

The new micro data centres are optimised for use in remote locations and harsh , Edge environments with the inclusion of Schneider Electric ’ s EcoStruxure IT , cloud-based DCIM to enable remote monitoring and management capability . The vendor-neutral solution sets a new standard for proactive insights on critical assets that impact the health and availability of IT environments , with the ability to deliver actionable real-time recommendations to optimise infrastructure performance and mitigate risk .

As an additional option , Avnet can integrate a MaaXBoard IoT single board computer to enable RedFish-compliant , out of band management of the IT equipment even when the servers are powered down or have become unresponsive . ◊
