Fujitsu to Incorporate Asetek Liquid Cooling in its High Performance Computing
Server Product Line
February 24, 2015 - Asetek (http://asetek.com/)® announced today a global
purchase agreement with Fujitsu Technology Solutions GmbH, a leading global
server vendor. Fujitsu will incorporate Asetek's RackCDU D2CT liquid cooling
technology into its High Performance Computing (HPC) server product line.
RackCDUT enhances Fujitsu's ability to provide solutions for world-class data
center efficiency and reduced operating costs. RackCDU liquid cooling improves
data center performance by increasing energy efficiency and server density.
Asetek expects Fujitsu to launch the first products based on RackCDU in the
second quarter of 2015, and anticipates product launches involving various
server models throughout the year. In 2014, Fujitsu was cited by IDC to be the
fourth largest server vendor by revenue.
"This agreement is a significant milestone for Asetek and its stakeholders,"
said André Sloth Eriksen, founder and CEO of Asetek. "Our collaboration with
Fujitsu ushers in a new stage in the adoption of RackCDU. With its global reach
and industry position, Fujitsu is poised to drive adoption of Asetek liquid
cooling in data centers worldwide."
Asetek's liquid cooling technology provides tangible financial savings for data
centers. The typical data center today uses 40% or more of its power for cooling
and reducing power consumption is essential to achieving lower data center
operating costs. As cited in a study by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, a
leading center for energy efficiency research of the US Department of Energy,
RackCDU can save over 50% of cooling power and over 21% of total data center
energy. Additionally, RackCDU's ability to increase server density by a factor
of 2.5-5x avoids the need for expensive data center build outs.
