We are proud to introduce our concept model ‘Hypotherm Rack Mount (HRM) 4X’,
silent immersion cooling per individual server.
These cassettes hold up to 4kW in compute power together with their liquid. By carrying them using their convenient handles away from the data floor, maintenance can be performed without spilling liquids where they’re not wanted.
With each server in it’s own housing, filled with dielectric liquid, the whole cassettes are still movable. Less influence from the outside, easy to install and very flexible. The fact that the liquid won’t come out during transport also means other liquid can’t get in; you can easily transport the cassettes even in heavy rain.
The front interface includes USB3, VGA, Serial, front indication LEDs, Power & reset buttons and the usual connectivity options such as fiber and UTP.
Due to the light weight, no rails are required, specially machined plastic (recycled from the beaches of Curaçao) tracks keep the cassettes in position. High performance backplane connectors especially designed for these amount of power, usability comes standard.
Each cassette is fitted with a multi-functional backplane, providing slots for SAS/SATA 2.5″ storage devices and OCP3.0 compatible networking cards. Hot-swappable of course.
The 10-pin backplane connector is compatible with both AC and DC power (up to 60 Ampère current per pin). You can choose to use a centralized AC-DC power distribution unit (PDU) or use internal ones per cassette and rely on the incoming AC-feed(s). We recommend a centralized unit, since this is the most efficient way to convert from AC to DC with the least possible loss of energy.
The innovative cooling system for the iXora HRM can run in silence; using immersion technology, these high performance units can be placed next to a desk without being noticed. Aside from its awesome looks of course
On the back of the HRM you’ll find the 3-phase 400V 16A CEE-inlet (male, 5-pole), to give the servers inside their power. For safety each phase has its own switched circuit breaker.
The cooling comes from the data center cooling grid by connecting cold (in) and hot (out) pipes. These are connected to the industry standard dripless / flat face couplings.
Using the HRM solution you can be seamless extending your existing data center environment or rapid expansion into new markets without the burden of lengthy implementation cycles and depreciating assets. Any HRM version will fit in industry standard 19″-racks and is well within weight limitations that might be applicable.
The individual displays per cassette provide a one-view status indication. Temperature, power usage, pressure and other critical information is constantly displayed here.
Manage your hardware remotely using industry standard SNMP, SSH and the webinterface, view statistics and secure what needs to be secure.
For those running larger scale serverfarms, it’s easy to include the HRM’s into your existing Building Management System (BMS) by using the SNMP. Both read-only and read-write are available. Using the traps corresponding with the cassettes you can monitor per cassette and even turn them on/off or power cycle them.
With an eye for detail, durability and usability. By using the best materials and components, the durability of the chassis and cassettes is guaranteed. Not only the energy can be reused for district heating, but the plastics used for guiding the cassettes is coming from beaches on Curaçao!
Datacenters around the world are constantly growing and facing increasing power density, thus demanding new innovative cooling techniques to keep up with demand. With each new processor generation the power efficiency increases, but at the same time the size decreases; resulting in more power per square meter/foot. The desire for a Co2 neutral footprint requires alternative ways to keep the power utilization to a minimum.
The target is set to reach this goal before 2030, the clock is ticking. Showtime!
