OPERATE
What happens when a data center runs too hot and needs to shut down? In immersion cooling, the fluid acts as a "thermal flywheel" that maintains safe operational temperatures even during complete cooling system failure. This gives operators time to either repair the cooling infrastructure or conduct an orderly shutdown, minimizing long-term consequences and avoiding the disruptive crash shutdowns common in air-cooled data centers. -- Christopher Liljenstolpe, Sr. Director, Data Center Architecture & Sustainability, Cisco
Is it difficult to work on equipment working with the fluids? Minor service like adding or moving cables can be performed while the server remains in the fluid. Use a server lift to move servers in or out of the immersion rack, similar to conventional air-cooled racks. Movable service rails position horizontally for standard technician service, with excess fluid automatically captured in the rack. -- Jeff Burke, EVP Sales & Marketing, Green Revolution Cooling (GRC) How do IT operations teams maintain standard Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with immersion cooling deployments? The key to reliable SLAs with immersion cooling lies in proper implementation fundamentals: correct installation procedures, appropriate cable management, and using the right accessories for your deployment. Immersion cooling systems offer more predictable performance than traditional air cooling because they eliminate variables like fan failures and temperature fluctuations. At Submer, we've seen IT operations teams successfully maintain 99.9% uptime SLAs across multiple immersion deployments.
PERFORMANCE
What is the ROI for Single Phase Immersion? The OCP TCO tool enables operators to model and compare CAPEX, OPEX and CO2 footprints of different power and cooling strategies and technology options and increases confidence have helps make informed and fact-based decisions. -- Andy Young Chief Technology Officer, Immersed Computing, Asperitas
-- Albert Puig Artola, Chief Technology Officer, Submer
