Liquid Cooling for Servers: Trends and Strategies

Presented byDell Technologies Inc.

In recent years, data centers have been facing increasing challenges from higher rack densities and tightening power and cooling constraints. At the same time, advances in semiconductors are driving up server power consumption, making the adoption of liquid cooling virtually unavoidable.
This session will provide an overview of the latest developments and technology trends in liquid-cooled servers and will compare them with air-cooled systems in terms of TCO, energy efficiency, and site requirements. It will also address key design and operational considerations, including the operational frameworks that should be evaluated at the planning stage, and will introduce practical approaches for the phased adoption of liquid cooling in existing data centers, as well as concrete measures for planning new, liquid-ready facilities. Finally, it will share actionable best practices to help ensure the success of liquid-cooling projects.
