GRC CEO, Peter Poulin, and Asperitas Founder & CEO, announce the launch of ImmersionFAQ.com. The educational website was designed to dispel the rumors and spread the truth about immersion cooling. It’s a great place to start learning how your data center can operate more efficiently, for less, with immersion cooling. Visit Now
Need to install or maintain a server immersed in an ICEraQ™ liquid-immersion-cooling system? GRC makes it simple.
This short video shows how to do it in six simple steps.
To make life easier for data center operators, we’ve thought through the entire operational design of the ICEraQ System. Its open-rack concept speeds access. And integrated service rails put your work at an ideal height.(You’ll never need to lift the heaviest—that is densest—server from the bottom of the rack to work on it.)
Use nitrile gloves if you like; but there’s also no need to fret about immersing your hands in the ElectroSafe™ coolant. ElectroSafe is non-toxic, does not readily ignite, is not reactive with water, and is very stable as well. What’s more, ICEraQruns almost silently. So it’s no problem to talk and problem-solve right at the rack.
Dive in and you’ll be done in no time.
Our ICEraQ® micro-modular rack-based immersion cooling system might sound like a complex way to cool a data center. But the very opposite is true. Although it has been shown to improve data center performance, slash build costs, plus reduce energy usage and maintenance, it’s actually built for simplicity from the ground up.
As for the ElectroSafe® immersion cooling fluid, it’s totally non-toxic, non-conductive, does not readily ignite, is not reactive with water, and is also very stable.
In addition, ICEraQ runs almost silently. And the only maintenance requirement on the whole system is a filter change typically needed once a year.
GRC makes maintaining immersion cooling servers incredibly easy.
Watch this video and you’ll see how five simple steps can help you service a single blade node in just a few minutes.
You’ll discover how GRC’s open-rack design enables quick access to the nodes, and how integrated service rails help create a convenient waist-high work bench.(You’ll never need to lift the heaviest—that is densest—server from the bottom of the rack to work on it.
Although nitrile gloves are recommended, there’s also no need to worry about contact with the fluid either. GRC systems employ a totally non-toxic coolant called ElectroSafe™. It’s a high-performance synthetic blend which does not readily ignite, is not reactive with water, and is also very stable.
But that’s not the only way GRC’s liquid-immersion cooling contributes to a better work environment. Our systems are also virtually silent. So you can have a conversation and problem-solve right at the rack.
Talk about simple!
On the subject of maintenance and operation, not all data centers are alike. That certainly holds true when you compare ICEraQ™ liquid-immersion cooling systems from GRC with more traditional legacy installations. Spoiler alert: ours are built from the ground up with simplicity, convenience and ease of maintenance in mind. Smart cable management is just one of many aspects.
Whether you’re replacing or maintaining a server, clean, intelligent cable management makes life much easier—which is why we engineer our racks with a fully integrated cable management structure.
But that’s not all. Virtually silent and with only three moving parts, GRC’s ICEtank™modular liquid-immersion cooling solution and our ICEraQ™ micro-modular liquid cooling system both provide superior performance with minimal maintenance.
What’s more, the non-toxic, non-conductive ElectroSafe™ immersion cooling fluid in these systems is very stable and requires no servicing or replacement over the lifespan of a typical data center.
How cool is that?
