Both the commercial and the defense sectors
are demanding increasingly advanced servers
and more sophisticated computers
that's being driven by things like artificial intelligence,
unmanned systems, machine learning,
sensor proliferation, and data processing.
Those increasingly advanced servers are also requiring
increasingly advanced processors, GPUs and CPU.
The problem is those advanced GPUs
are throwing off tremendous amounts of heat,
often much more than traditional air cooling can manage,
which results in overheating, throttling down,
just a general inability to perform the service
that they're being asked to provide.
The commercial marketplace has solved this
with liquid immersion cooling.
As you know, air is traditionally used to cool servers,
unfortunately air is not a very effective
or efficient way of removing heat.
In fact, liquid is about a thousand times more effective
than air at removing heat from servers.
Immersion cooling, immerses or submerges the entire server
in a cooling bath of dielectric fluid.
That fluid is non electrically conductive, non-volatile,
and as that payload heats up that fluid,
it's circulated through pumps through a heat exchanger
to maintain that valuable payload
at the optimal temperature.
What Leonardo DRS has done is partner with industry leaders
like Intel, Dell, and UNICOM to ruggedize
that proven immersion cooling solution
that's been used at data centers for years.
The rack we have here at the show has been designed
specifically to fit inside of a standard US Navy cabinet.
It has a 9U capacity so it fits nine servers,
and those servers are bathed in a cooling bath
of 26 gallons of dielectric fluid.
As that fluid heats up,
it's circulated by two redundant pumps
through an onboard heat exchanger,
and they returned back to the tank
to keep that valuable payload
at exactly the right temperature.
This particular unit can be scaled up or down,
depending on the customer's end use case
but in this case, this particular variant
is able to generate 35 kilowatts of cooling capacity,
more than enough to properly maintain
the valuable payload inside.
IcePiercer is able to maintain that payload
at a precisely optimal temperature,
so we're going to ensure that the valuable contents,
the valuable GPUs are operating at their full capacity.
Because IcePiercer is so efficient at cooling,
it's able to replace the equivalent
of eight air cooled racks.
So much denser, much more compact footprint
with much more computing power.
Also, if you've invented a server room,
you know how loud those fans can get.
You can barely have a conversation, they're so loud.
IcePiercer's operating right now
and the only way you can often tell
is by feeling the vibration from the pumps.
It's essentially quiet as a library.
Third, because we're keeping that payload
at the optimal temperature,
because it's a sealed closed system,
there's no vibration, no dust,
we're seeing a two X improvement in system reliability.
Our customers need for advanced servers
and advanced computing is growing dramatically.
With a liquid immersion cooling system like IcePiercer,
we can ensure that your processing needs are future proof.
