As AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC) increase the need for powerful data center infrastructure, IT operators are seeking more efficient, scalable and sustainable thermal cooling solutions. Liquid cooling is increasingly popular and expected to account for 36% of data center thermal management revenue by 2028, according to the Dell’Oro Group. However, the adoption and proliferation of liquid immersion cooling, known for its superior performance, has been hindered by a lack of certified immersion solutions that are proven and readily deployable.
In collaboration with Shell Global Solutions (US) Inc., Intel addresses this challenge by validating a full immersion solution for data centers supported by hardware from Supermicro and Submer. This first-of-its-kind solution – Intel Data Center Certified for Immersion Cooling – sets a new industry standard1 for cooling efficiency and long-term performance with the first immersion solution for 4th Gen and 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors.
Through extensive testing and rigorous validation by Intel’s Advanced Data Center Development Laboratory, this solution combines the power of Intel Xeon processors with the expertise of fellow pioneers in single-phase immersion cooling. It allows data centers to deploy proven high-performance infrastructure with the confidence that it will stand up to the demands of modern AI and high performance computing workloads. With this certification, Intel offers a Xeon Processor Single-Phase Immersion Warranty Rider that affirms confidence in the durability, efficiency and compatibility of immersion-cooled IT infrastructure with Shell Immersion Cooling Fluids.
