The process for implementing a CoolIT liquid cooling solution begins at the server level , where the Professional Services team collaborates with the MIC sales team and the customer , to define the desired solution based on what CoolIT PCL ( s ) is being utilised within that server .
“ The Coolant Distribution Unit ( CDU ) – the heart of the liquid cooling system , is central to this process . CoolIT offers a range of CDUs categorised into liquidto-air and liquid-to-liquid types ,” Chad continues .
Once the customer ’ s needs are understood , CoolIT Systems ’ Professional Services team selects the appropriate CoolIT products to complete the customer ’ s liquid cooling system . This
involves choosing the right rack manifold based on server connections and flow requirements , followed by selecting the CDU based on system size , flow needs , facility infrastructure and budget . If an in-row CDU is chosen , a Secondary Fluid Network ( SFN ) is also required to connect the CDU to the liquid-cooled IT racks .
“ After the design is finalised , deployment of the CoolIT hardware is fully handled by the Professional Service team and our in-region Authorised Service Providers . In addition , the PFS group will work closely with the data centre facility team to ensure all facility requirements are met based on the solution that ’ s been chosen ,” Chad adds .
