Frequently Asked Questions
What is PRASA's ICEtank Liquid Immersion Cooling System?
PRASA’s ICEtank is a revolutionary data center cooling solution that submerges servers directly in a non-conductive dielectric liquid. This liquid efficiently absorbs heat from the servers, leading to significantly improved cooling performance and higher rack densities compared to traditional air cooling.
What are the key benefits of using PRASA's ICEtank?
- Unmatched Cooling Capacity: Pack more power into smaller spaces with ICEtank’s ability to handle higher heat loads and rack densities than air cooling.
- Enhanced Server Performance: Lower server temperatures optimize performance, potentially allowing for increased clock speeds and longer hardware lifespans.
- Energy Cost Savings: Efficient cooling translates to lower power consumption, resulting in significant energy cost savings for data centers.
- Simplified Infrastructure: Eliminate the need for complex air cooling systems like CRACs and chillers, reducing equipment footprint and maintenance costs.
- Environmentally Friendly: ICEtank reduces noise pollution and water usage compared to air cooling, contributing to a quieter and more sustainable data center operation.
Is PRASA's ICEtank safe for my servers?
Absolutely!
PRASA uses carefully selected, non-conductive and non-corrosive dielectric liquids that pose no risk to your servers. Additionally, their systems incorporate leak detection and redundant safety features to ensure server protection.
What are the potential drawbacks of using PRASA's ICEtank?
- Initial Investment: Implementing ICEtank may involve a higher upfront cost compared to traditional air cooling setups, although long-term cost savings can be significant.
- Hardware Compatibility: Not all server models are currently compatible with immersion cooling, so be sure your hardware is suitable before switching.
- Maintenance Requirements: While simpler than air cooling systems, ICEtank setups still require proper maintenance and leak detection procedures.
How can PRASA's ICEtank help me achieve my sustainability goals?
Beyond reducing energy consumption, ICEtank offers several other sustainability benefits:
-
- Reduced water usage: Compared to air cooling systems that rely on chillers and water-based cooling towers, ICEtank requires minimal water for equipment maintenance, significantly reducing overall water consumption.
- Lower carbon footprint: The energy savings achieved through efficient cooling translate to a reduced carbon footprint for your data center operations, aligning with your environmental goals.
- Extended hardware lifespan: The optimal operating temperatures maintained by ICEtank can extend the lifespan of your servers and other hardware, reducing the need for frequent replacements and associated e-waste generation.
Does PRASA offer additional services beyond the ICEtank system?
Yes! PRASA provides comprehensive data center solutions, including:
-
- Consultation: Leverage PRASA’s expertise to design and implement the perfect ICEtank solution for your unique needs.
- Implementation: From infrastructure preparation and liquid fill to system setup and testing, PRASA handles everything for a seamless deployment.
