Transform to Green Data Center to Manage High Workloads

The explosive growth of data is resulting in unprecedented demand for energy to dissipate the heat created inside of data centers around the world. According to one source, data center energy usage could account for more than 10% of the global electricity supply by 2030.1

As average temperatures continue to rise, the exponential growth in computing requirements may have a severe, negative impact on society, especially in the Global South. The need for cooling is increasingly becoming a threat to the environment and adding to the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of data centers. Therefore, data center owners are seeking ways to save energy, implement eco-friendly solutions, and continue delivering on workload-specific SLAs to their stakeholders.

With these challenges in mind, Dell Technologies OEM Solutions worked with OEM customers and partners to design new, innovative solutions for liquid cooling, which reduce cooling energy consumption by 40–50% and improve power usage effectiveness (PUE)1.

The Liquid Cooling solutions offered by the Dell OEM Solutions team supports the company’s Advancing Sustainability Goals2, including these additional impact goals:

·????????We will reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions across scopes 1, 2 and 3 by 2050.

·????????We will reduce scopes 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030.

·????????We will source 75% of electricity from renewable sources across all Dell Technologies facilities by 2030 — and 100% by 2040.

·????????We will partner with our direct material suppliers to meet a science-based greenhouse gas emissions reduction target of 60% per unit revenue by 2030.

Liquid cooling technology addresses many of the challenges that come with air cooling systems, especially, as noted above, as computing densities increase. Think GREEN and sustainable data centers with more efficient workloads plus reduced energy costs.

But don’t just take our word for it; here’s what some of our customers say:

The key aspect of Liquid Immersion Cooling is that it improves the heat transferring much more efficiently than transport to air. Using Dell PowerEdge C6525 servers and GRC cooling solution, we were able to install 336 servers in the GRC 4-tank configuration cooling almost 300 kW of power. The same system in an air-cooled design would have required more than 14 standard compute racks.”

?“Simple Physics tells us that the more powerful the machine, the more heat it generates and the more power you need to cool it. The problem statement now is simple:?Use as little power as possible to cool your IT infrastructure. The benefits are tremendous, especially in tropical regions where the ambient temperature is naturally higher, and thus more resources are needed to cool it. Very few times in life, doing a cool thing and the right thing coincide. Choosing Dell Technologies’ Green Data Center is one for us as this will not only help in further seamlessly scaling our business but also help in reducing our carbon footprint.”
