SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainable cooling for high-density compute Flex has also introduced DLC capabilities for Dell PowerEdge R660 platforms, incorporating JetCool cold plates engineered to operate with coolant inlet temperatures up to 70 ° C.
This innovation reduces water usage by as much as 90 % and cuts cooling power demand by up to 50 % compared to alternative liquid cooling methods.
The SmartSense 6U Liquid-to- Liquid( L2L) cooling distribution unit supports cooling loads of up to 300kW and interfaces directly with Equinix’ s secondary cooling loop, supporting full DLC operation.
Within the ORv3 rack, additional manifold, busbar and quick disconnect solutions allow all liquid cooling functions to be managed within a single integrated unit.
Rob Campbell, President of Communications, Enterprise and Cloud Business at Flex, said:“ We are proud to bring Flex’ s highperformance, energy-efficient liquid cooling solutions into data centre facilities such as the Equinix CIF.
“ This milestone builds on our longstanding collaboration with Equinix across power and cooling infrastructure.
“ As the demand for AI and HPC workloads continues to accelerate, Flex’ s end-to-end portfolio will enable data centre operators to bring infrastructure to market faster.”
