Vertiv partners with GRC to offer a highly efficient liquid cooling solution
Vertiv partners with GRC to offer highly efficient liquid cooling solution for high-density data centres and Edge applications .
Vertiv , a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions , has introduced the Liebert VIC , its first liquid immersion cooling solution for high-density data centres . The solution was developed in partnership with GRC ( Green Revolution Cooling ), a leader in single-phase immersion cooling for data centres . Available throughout Asia , Australia and New Zealand , the Liebert VIC offers improved cooling efficiencies in dense computing environments that increasingly support data-intensive applications such as the Internet-of-Things ( IoT ), Edge Computing and automation .
“ Vertiv has dramatically increased its commitment to R & D and the innovation of energy efficient and sustainable infrastructure support technologies ,” said Stephen Liang , Chief Technology Officer at Vertiv . “ The Liebert VIC joins a new generation of reliable thermal , power and IT management products that help data centre and telecom customers to meet their efficiency goals .”
The Liebert VIC liquid immersion cooling solution
support high-density loads of up to 100 kW per rack , utilising warm water . It uses the ElectroSafe dielectric liquid coolant , an odorless , non-toxic , single-phase coolant which is both electrically and chemically inert and has 1,200 times the heat capacity of air . This higher heat capacity means that servers with high heat densities can be cooled more effectively , reducing cooling energy costs up to 95 %.
“ Liquid immersion cooling is increasingly becoming an attractive option for many data centre and colocation facilities , as it not only supports high-compute environments but also promises improved efficiencies , sustainability and reliability compared to traditional cooling solutions ,”
said Dhruv Varma , Vice President of Business Development , APAC at GRC .
“ Demand for a wide range of computeintensive applications , including faster streaming platforms for both video and gaming , requires even more latencyfree computing power ,” said Chee Hoe Ling , Vice President for Infrastructure Solutions , Vertiv Asia . “ With Liebert VIC , our customers can meet their high-density objectives and rely on this highly efficient thermal solution option to cost-effectively deploy high performance computing options to their customers .”
The liquid cooling technology used by Liebert VIC reduces environmental disturbances such as moisture , dust and poor air quality . In addition , use of warm water cooling enables a highly efficient and low operating cost solution . The Liebert VIC can be deployed in any location as it is less dependent on geographical climate . Its modular design enables it to be deployed quickly within weeks , minimising the need for data centre space construction or renovations . ◊ intelligent POWER AND COOLING
“ Whether it ’ s education , BFSI or the entertainment industry , organisations across Australia and New Zealand are opting for cooling solutions that handle their operational requirements efficiently and sustainably ,” said Peter Kondoulis , Associate Product Manager Thermal at Vertiv Australia and New Zealand . “ Immersion cooling is a huge leap forward in meeting these customer demands , with environmentally friendly refrigerant-less cooling technology and storage that fits more computing power into a single rack .”
