Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Supermicro), a globally renowned company in enterprise computing, storage, networking, and green computing technology, is making available a range of liquid cooling solutions that reduce costs and allow the most demanding applications to run with less jitter, and at faster CPU frequencies.

Working with customers, Supermicro will design, implement and test the latest liquid cooling technologies at the rack level, ensuring a quick and seamless installation in customers' data centres worldwide. Customers who implement a liquid cooling solution can improve data centre PUE and TCO by over 40% on power costs.

Liquid cooling solutions

Charles Liang, the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Super Micro Computer, Inc., said “Supermicro has established dedicated teams to work with customers and partners, to deliver state-of-the-art rack level liquid cooling solutions that enable systems that are used for the most demanding applications to remain operational, under heavy computationally loads.

Charles Liang adds, “Our most popular servers - GPU, SuperBlade, BigTwin, and Ultra systems - are easily outfitted with liquid cooling technology that reduces OPEX while keeping these systems operating at maximum performance levels.

GPU Systems - SuperBlades, BigTwin and Ultra systems

These selected Supermicro systems, including the latest GPU Systems, SuperBlades, BigTwin and Ultra systems, are ideal for data centres with demanding applications.

Supermicro experts have identified these servers as the best choice for AI, HPC, and related workloads, where high-frequency and densely packed CPUs and GPUs are required.

Types of cooling offered

Supermicro has designed effective cooling solutions from small to large scale

Supermicro has designed effective cooling solutions from small to large scale, by carefully evaluating each case of their customer’s specific requirements and limitations, including Direct-to-Chip (D2C) cooling, Immersion cooling, Rear-door Heat Exchanger (RDHx) cooling, or a combination of these technologies.

Liquid cooling solutions give IT managers the confidence to run Supermicro servers at sustaining maximum performance levels, increasing the ROI of high-end servers.

A range of liquid cooling technologies availabe

A range of liquid cooling technologies can be used, depending on the data centres’ physical infrastructure. Direct-to-Chip (D2C) cooling can be installed in each server, or entire systems can be immersed in a liquid for maximum heat removal.

Supermicro works very closely with customers to determine the best suitable liquid cooling solution. Engineers will design the solution, based on the types of systems chosen and the data centre infrastructure. All or part of a data centre can utilise liquid cooling technologies, so as to optimise the operating environment.
