LiquidStack unveils new turnkey data center solutions bringing liquid cooling to the edge
Data center liquid immersion cooling provider LiquidStack has launched its new prefabricated modular solutions, MicroModular and MegaModular, for local and regional edge applications.
MicroModular contains a single 48U DataTank, whereas MegaModular holds up to six 48U DataTanks. The company says both modular solutions enable businesses to rapidly deploy compute at the local and regional edge while capturing the energy efficiency, heat rejection and water savings benefits of liquid immersion cooling.
MicroModular and MegaModular outside heat rejection components were designed in partnership with Trane – by Trane Technologies, a manufacturing company that focuses on heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) solutions. Trane Technologies recently invested in LiquidStack to support adoption of its advanced liquid cooling technology.
The new edge computing solutions come with Trane’s heat rejection equipment, with integration to Trane’s heat reuse technology.
According to Joe Capes, CEO of LiquidStack: “As demand for AI escalates, higher compute densities are emerging. This combined with an increase in demand for AI at the edge makes liquid immersion cooling attractive. Traditional air-cooling doesn’t scale well in prefabricated data centers and has much lower thermal conductivity than liquid.
“Recognizing this, we made our best-in-class liquid cooling technology available in modular form factors. Our MicroModular and MegaModular prefabricated modular products are the fastest and least disruptive way to adopt liquid cooling for AI and edge.”
LiquidStack lists a few benefits of the new edge computing solutions which includes 250kW to 1.5MW of compute power within a single prefabricated module and up to Tier III redundancy.
Other benefits include increased power densities at a PUE of 1.02 and the potential for zero water usage, and the ability to be installed in weeks.
Available now, LiquidStack’s MicroModular and MegaModular solutions were built specifically for AI and advanced cloud computing applications. LiquidStack notes its modular solutions enable hi-flux chips and over-clocking in the various conditions.
