Ibm Water Cooled Servers

Panduit a global networking and electrical manufacturer will license ibm s rear door heat.

Ibm water cooled servers.

These systems followed the ibm 3090 with over a decade of follow ons the esa 390 was succeeded by the 64 bit z. These systems were often highly customized and costly. Ibm will license its technology for cooling servers with water instead of air to a chicago area company. Your server configuration workload and server settings varies the amount of heat from the processor and the gpus that can be cooled by the water and the amount of cooling that is required for other components.

Ibm s water cooled servers show off big wins in reducing power carbon. Ibm researchers have delivered a data center breakthrough that could have a major impact on power consumption carbon. In the past high performance mainframes were often water cooled and supplied as such by the ite manufacturer. Water cooled servers have been around for more than a half a century.

The ibm system 390 was the third generation of the system 360 instruction set architecture the first esa 390 computer was the enterprise system 9000 es 9000 family which were introduced in 1990. Ibm s water cooled system reduces server heat output in data centers by up to 55 compared to air cooled technology said tom bradicich cto for ibm s bladecenter and system x server product lines. Big blue abandoned water cooling after shipping its last bipolar mainframe with cmos complementary metal.

The initial implementation will be for ptp connectivity via the ibm z hmc se. Increased standardization of liquid cooled designs will help expand their use by. Heat is removed from the system by circulating liquid into direct contact with hot components then through cool heat exchangers. Z14 air cooled upgrades to ibm z15 water cooled z14 water cooled upgrades to ibm z15 water cooled.

Ibm is just returning to water cooling servers after not using the technique since 1995. These were followed by the cmos system 390 mainframe family in the mid 1990s.
