ICEOTOPE LAUNCHES PETAGEN LIQUID COOLING SYSTEM

Developed with Intel, British immersion cooler now in production
UK-based cooling expert Iceotope, the British-based sustainable IT cooling provider, has delivered its cooling system for high-performance computing, under the name Petagen.
Developed over the last several years, and in use at various locations, the Iceotope system is now in production thanks to a development partnership with Intel. It cools servers by total immersion with a liquid jacket on the server blade and inert coolant circulating around the rack, and the productioni versions are on show at Datacenter Dynamics Converged in London.

Liquid cooling 'super charges' IT performance


Research from the University of Leeds and Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Centre (PSNC) has revealed that Iceotope’s data centre liquid cooling technology offers a significant performance advantages.

The research findings of the technology, produced by the British-based sustainable IT cooling provider, found:

The possibility of full-time ‘turbo mode’ IT in almost any climate (up to a 56% boost in the case of some Intel processors) 


Massive 40.8 per cent improvement in IT performance/power improvements (as compared to state-of-the-art air cooled servers of the same specification)
Partial Power Usage Effectiveness figures of 1.02

Iceotope among state-of-the-art innovations

JUNE 16, 2014 - Today, Scandinavian think tank SUSTAINIA, releases a study on 100 leading sustainability innovations deployed on global markets. And Iceotope is selected for its state-of-the-art innovation.

More than 900 technologies and projects on nearly all continents have been researched to identify the 100 outstanding cases, and to document where and how innovations are being developed and deployed. The study, SUSTAINIA100, is showing a growing diversity in sustainability innovations globally, which is providing businesses with new market opportunities.

“The selected Sustainia100 solutions are an inspiration to companies, cities and consumers worldwide. Sustainable innovation is truly transforming markets and industries these years – things are happening at an incredible pace. You will lack behind if you as a business does not gear your company towards a changed landscape, where an efficient and sustainable operation is key to long-term survival,” says Laura Storm, Director of Sustainia.   

The released study, SUSTAINIA100, covers new efforts to turn the fashion and food industries, homes, offices and transportation systems more efficient, sustainable and enjoyable. All identified innovations are readily available with demonstrated sustainability environmental, social and economic effects. The 100 selections are currently deployed in 142 countries.

“While we don't have the luxury of time to fix the problems, we do have the luxury of readily available solutions. And with Sustainia100, we now know where to find the most inspiring of them,” says Dr. Rajendra K. Pachauri, Chair of the UN panel for climate Change, IPCC.

Circular economy, big data and improved supply chains.

The published SUSTAINIA100 cases presents’ trailblazing innovation across 10 industries. Among the cases, three drivers are shaping market-ready innovation: circular economy products, data analytics and sustainability practices throughout the supply chain.

“We are seeing how especially circular economy is a growing focus area. This is especially due to the resource and fashion industry rethinking methods and calling for sustainable alternatives in production and services. This is a huge incentive for sustainable innovators,” says Laura Storm, director of SUSTAINIA. 

The study of 100 leading sustainability innovations are released today in Oslo, Norway, and available online. Behind the work is an alliance of private companies and international organizations including: UN Global Compact, WWF, Regions20, Monday Morning Global Institute, IFHP, Novo Nordisk, Storebrand, DNV GL, Realdania and Brunata.
