Garner’s study – Global Data Center Cooling Market by Solution Type, Data Center Size And Regional Forecasts, 2018-2025 – observed a remarkable increase in bandwidths from internet service providers globally. With enhanced technology, these providers can deliver greater internet speeds, and with the vast amount of data usage, infrastructure must be improved, driving up requirements for cooling technology. Here, some of the most well-known cooling technology providers offer insights into the current state and future prospects of cooling technology in HPC and data centre markets.
The direct approach CoolIT is a recognised provider of direct contact liquid cooling (DCLC) technology for server manufacturers, with solutions compatible with Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Dell EMC, Intel, Huawei, Supermicro systems and various ODM- direct servers. This approach has served the business well, and it has recently reported a 60 per cent revenue growth for 2017. Data centres saw the most significant escalation with sales up by 75 per cent from the previous year. The strategic pairing between the company and STULZ – a solution-provider of energy- efficient temperature and humidity management technology – enabled a unique offering, along with worldwide

service capabilities, to ensure customer support regardless of location. Dell EMC selected the
company’s Rack DCLC technology for its high- performance liquid cooled PowerEdge offering in Q3/17 and the business says it is on track to set revenue records in 2018 with the launch of five programs in the first half of the year.
The provider believes its
own ongoing growth is proof that DCLC is now being more widely adopted across various HPC verticals and is gaining popularity with hyperscale data centre operators. Geoff Lyon, CEO and CTO,
explains: ‘Over the next five years, we expect to see a significant shift towards widespread adoption, with liquid cooling being recognised as the standard in server and data centre cooling. Key trends that are driving the cooling industry are increased rack density, maximised performance and improved energy-efficiency. Liquid cooling is uniquely positioned to deliver on all three of these demands. So, what are the benefits
over the more traditional air cooling? Lyon elaborates: ‘Leading chip manufacturers continue to push computational boundaries with the release of high TDP processors that simply produce too much heat for air cooling solutions to manage. The properties of liquid, as a heat conductor, make it significantly more effective at removing heat from a processor than air, while using a fraction of the electrical power. ‘DCLC uses the exceptional thermal conductivity of warm liquid to provide dense, concentrated cooling. Through a patented, micro-channel architecture, our technology maximises coolant flow and directs the coolest liquid to the hottest area of the processor first. Coldplates can be as low as 2.4mm in height and are easily integrated into
