How ICEraQ Immersion-Cooled Data Centers Meet Diverse Organizational Needs Video Header

With its ability to cool even the densest rack configurations, vastly reduce capital expenditures and operating costs, as well as promote green initiatives, immersion-cooled data centers from GRC serve a wide range of organizational needs.

Watch this video and see how this revolutionary but field-proven solution appeals to CIOs, CFOs and sustainability officers alike.

Given the growing importance of IT to an organization’s success, data center cooling energy efficiencies are on the minds of many C-suite executives. Fortunately, GRC’s ICEraQ™ micro-modular, liquid immersion cooling system can help them achieve unprecedented cost, performance, space and energy efficiencies.

GRC pioneered the adoption of single-phase liquid-immersion cooling around the world. Since 2009, this game-changing technology has been shown to help corporate leaders achieve the goals they care about most. That includes slashing data center build costs up to 50%, energy usage up to 95% and operational costs up to 50%, accompanied by tremendous reliability and scalability, plus a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

As this video shows, with GRC, improvements in the server room ring loud in the boardroom.

How ICEraQ™ Immersion-Cooled Data Centers Meet Diverse Organizational Needs

This is Corporate Cloud Company’s data center team. They all have different priorities and want different things.

The CIO insists on the best high-capacity machines on the market. The CFO is carefully watching the project’s cost. And, the head of the company’s sustainability and efficiency department wants as little power consumption as possible.

High-performing, cost-conscious and energy efficient. Sound impossible? Not for Corporate Cloud, because they found GRC, who provides liquid-immersion cooling solutions to innovative data centers around the world.

GRC’s ICEraQ uses a special liquid coolant called ElectroSafe™ that is used in place of chilled air to remove heat from the data center. With ElectroSafe and the ICEraQ system around it, the amount of energy required to cool servers is reduced by 95%.

The CIO is happy to learn that the immersion cooling solution is not only compatible, it’s approved for leading OEM and ODM server manufacturers. Plus, GRC’s immersion cooling has shown to improve the performance and reliability of hardware.

The modular design also allows for easy scalability and as much as 2 times the density of conventional data centers, helping save valuable floorspace.

Next, the CFO calculates the total cost of ownership. With 95% less power consumption, the continuous operational cost drops by 50%. And unlike traditional cooling systems which require chillers, air handlers and raised flooring, GRC does not need any of these. Since no refrigeration is required, there is no need for chillers. And because only 50% power is used, a backup generator can be half the conventional size.

As there is no complex air-flow architecture, raised flooring is also not needed.

All considered, Corporate Cloud will now save 60% on the infrastructure costs on a new build, and those savings start from day one.

Additionally, GRC can be installed in a fraction of the time compared to lengthy conventional installations.

With GRC, Corporate Cloud is happy to see their needs met without compromise.
