ResetData, an Australian cloud service provider, has introduced a cutting-edge test and simulation lab for its innovative liquid-cooled data centre server technology. This move positions ResetData as a trailblazer in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, providing local businesses the opportunity to explore workloads in a liquid-cooled environment, aligning with their environmentally friendly and high-performance infrastructure objectives.
In contrast to conventional air-cooled data centres, ResetData’s cloud server infrastructure relies on liquid cooling, achieving a remarkable 45% reduction in data centre CO2 emissions and a substantial 40% decrease in cloud cooling computing costs. Globally, data centres consume about 1% of all energy, primarily due to cooling and environmental control requirements, making this development significant. The heat generated by server CPUs and GPUs used in cloud computing necessitates energy-intensive cooling solutions.
ResetData employs immersion cooling, an inventive approach submerging server racks and processors in liquid. This method offers considerable advantages over air-cooled data centres, including reduced CO2 emissions and a significant decrease in overall cloud cooling computing costs. The company’s collaboration with industry leaders Dell Technologies and Intel underscores its commitment to advancing data centre technology.
In addition to its liquid-cooled infrastructure, ResetData provides Liquid Cooling as a Service, a unique offering allowing users to access end-to-end liquid cooling stacks as either a capital or operational expense. This service not only harnesses the benefits of liquid cooling but also enables a reduced physical footprint for the data centre, resulting in lower real estate costs and the potential to establish data centres in unconventional locations.
ResetData’s test and simulation lab is a crucial asset for businesses in the era of artificial intelligence (AI). As one of the initial facilities in the APAC region to conduct performance testing of AI and machine learning full stacks in a liquid-cooled environment, Australian firms gain access to reliable and realistic testing environments. This is particularly crucial as businesses increasingly rely on AI and machine learning solutions for efficiency improvements, enhanced customer service, and leveraging data analytics capabilities. Noteworthy partners contributing to ResetData’s lab include Castrol BP, Submer, and Siemon, further reinforcing its standing as a leader in liquid-cooled data centre technology.
