January 16, 2014 - Asetek® announced today that it has received a
purchase order for its RackCDUT data center liquid cooling system from
an undisclosed leader in quantitative investing and trading. The order
includes the retrofitting of a full rack of HP Proliant SL230 servers
with RackCDU D2CT (Direct-to-Chip) liquid cooling. This evaluation
system is expected to be deployed with testing initiated in Q1. The
evaluation has the potential to develop into a significantly larger
retrofit of an entire datacenter, as well as new installations, using
Asetek's RackCDU.
"Although our primary business model is not to sell to end users or do
retrofits, there are exceptions when we see large opportunities like
this that could end up in significant revenue and create potential new
business for OEM customers", said André Sloth Eriksen, Founder and CEO
of Asetek. "I consider this another significant brick in the wall for
our long term OEM vision. By creating end user demand, we are creating
demand for the OEM and vice versa."
RackCDU is Asetek's innovative hot water, direct-to-chip, data center
liquid cooling technology, which removes heat from CPUs, GPUs, memory
modules and other hot spots within the servers with an all-liquid path
and rejects it into ambient outdoor air without chilling. As validated
recently by Lawrence Berkeley National Labs, RackCDU enables cooling
savings in excess of 50%, density increases of 2.5x to 5x, and recovery
of all the server energy removed by RackCDU for reuse in facility
heating and cooling.
