Earlier this month 3M unveiled a proof-of-concept for open bath immersion (OBI), a passive two-phase cooling technique which uses a boiling liquid to remove heat. Here's a closer look at the project.
This month's unusual weather pattern has brought frigid air to parts of the U.S. that don't normally see extreme cold snaps. Not to worry. Many data centers operate just fine in brutally cold weather, and your colleagues from these colder climates...
Liquid cooling specialist Iceotope has raised more than $10 million in venture capital funding from investors, and will work with Schneider Electric to commercialize its technology, the company said this week.
Intel, which has been a pioneer in documenting the benefits of free cooling, says high levels of pollution in China and India are shortening the live of some components of PCs and servers. It has set up a lab to conduct additional research into...
Increased efficiency gains in the data center are directly connected to how you control the environmental variables of your environment. Check out this white paper for tips on managing efficiency and saving data center power costs.
On Monday, HGST announced a new Helium-filled hard drive, which boosts storage capacity by reducing drag. Because they're hermetically sealed, the drives are ideal for immersion cooling. At Cloud Expo, HGST showed off an immersion cooling...
Verizon Terremark is experimenting with a novel way to push hot and cold air around data center racks called virtual containment. Verizon's Ben Stewart discussed the concept this week at the Data Center Efficiency Summit in Palo Alto, Calif.
Liquid-cooled servers at a data center at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory used less energy in certain circumstances than air-cooled servers on site, a researcher said Tuesday at the sixth annual Data Center Efficiency Summit hosted by...
