Liquid cooling

In this solution, computer equipment is cooled using liquid, as liquid is 1,000 times better at heat transfer than air. We can effectively remove heat directly from IT equipment and transfer it with great ease out of the facility. Liquid cooling takes away the hassle of running a large HVAC system, thus saving enormous costs and reducing noise significantly. Liquid cooling requires no internal fans, thus we can increase server density per rack tenfold. Liquid cooling is the future, as more and more IT facilities are realizing its full potential. By using liquid cooling, we can also decrease our energy consumption, reducing our carbon footprint enormously. There are different liquid cooling solutions available on the market. ...
