Announced at the Supercomputing 2009 event in Portland, Oregon, Iceotope said that its "modular Liquid-Immersion Cooled Server" technology works by effectively wrapping each server in a cool-bag-like device, which focuses specifically on keeping the components inside the device cool - avoiding the costs and carbon associated with needing to cool the entire data centre.
"The Iceotope approach takes liquid – in the form of an inert synthetic coolant, rather than water – directly down to the component level," the company said. "It does this by immersing the entire contents of each server in a “bath” of coolant within a sealed compartment, creating a cooling module."
