PrimaDoor the innovative rear door cooler for IT racks by Primaria

PrimaDoor, the innovative rear door cooler for IT racks, compared to traditional coolers, reduces energy consumption by 50% and reaches a 15% higher capacity.

The world is experiencing an exponential growth in data usage and the need for more extreme computing applications is on the rise. Machine learning and artificial intelligence software are entering applications on a large scale. To cope with this evolution, more powerful data processing technologies are used such as HPC and HCI with TPU-based microprocessors and GPUs. Therefore, the thermal load and heat density of servers and consequently data centers are increasing and new, more powerful and efficient cooling systems are needed. This is where PrimaDoor comes into play!

Rear door coolers are the most energy efficient methods of cooling data centers and have the highest density capacity of all air-cooled technologies. “With PrimaDoor we have further improved the performance of this technology,” says Henrik Abrink, Chief Executive Officer of Primaria and continues, "the benefits of this technology extend to the entire data center infrastructure, which can be planned and built

• with higher density,
• on a small footprint,
• at a lower cost
• and can achieve significantly reduced operating costs.”

Contributing 5 to 9% of global electricity consumption and 2% of global CO2 emissions, the data center industry is under scrutiny by regulators and targets have been set to reduce energy consumption.

“It is important for data center service providers that their operations are at the cutting edge when it comes to energy efficiency and greentech as this affects both their profitability and their sustainability” comments Henrik Abrink, “The drivers for PrimaDoor development were that we wanted to create a product that is future-proof, capable of:

• manage the trend of increasing density, up to extreme density loads,
• comply with new "green" regulations and legislation,
• deliver true business value in the form of reduced energy bills and capital costs.”

Note*

HPC - High Performance Computing - refers to the technologies used by computer clusters to create computing systems capable of providing very high performance in terms of data processing speed and volume.

HCI – Hyper Converged Infrastructure - is?a software-defined, unified system that combines all the elements of a traditional data center: storage, compute, networking and management

TPU - Tensor Processing Unit - is a type of processor specialized for accelerating the processing of calculations related to artificial intelligence and machine learning. TPUs are designed to perform operations on tensors, which are multidimensional data structures critical to machine learning.

GPU - Graphics Processing Unit - GPU is an electronic circuit designed to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer, intended for output to a display device but often deployed in AI servers due to its high data processing capabilities.
