21" Rack Benefits

 Maximized performance and density The density of the 21" server form factor allows you to increase the performance limits of traditional servers.
Easy maintenance
  • Power supply, fans, and servers are hot-pluggable.
  • Cables at the front.
  • LED indicators.
  • No tools required.
Increased reliability
  • Server downtime is Reduced.
  • Fans and power supplies are grouped together.
  • Redundancy of power supplies.
Maximized performance and density By reducing power consumption, the OCtoPus reduces CO2 emissions in Datacenters

Air Cooling - Pushing air-cooling efficiency to its limits

Aircooling

The OCtoPus was created in 2017 while we were trying to improve the efficiency of a standard OCP cluster. In addition to all the developments around the servers, we rethought the implementation of fans and power supply at the rack level.

We chose to aggregate all the fans at the rear of the rack, to add smart control of the fans speed and to monitor the power distribution. These developments made it possible to reduce power consumption by 23%.

By mutualizing fans at the back of the rack, we were able to reduce power consumption and include a control manager that adapts the fan speed to the temperature of the servers.

Optimized air cooling increases the air flow and heat dissipation inside the servers, so space is optimized for component management. The failure rate and intervention time are reduced thanks to the centralized power supply of the servers by busbars and shared ventilation.

Directliquid

Direct Liquid Cooling - A combination between direct liquid and air cooling

Air cooling is not efficient enough to support ultra-high density. With this in mind, we adapted direct liquid cooling to our air-cooling rack: specific higher power server components such as CPUs and GPUs are exposed to liquid in order to be cooled more efficiently than air cooling. The highest performance servers can be integrated efficiently using this approach.

Our DLC rack includes manifolds with double shut-off valves to ensure hot-swappable liquid distribution to the servers at the rear of the rack. In addition to the DLC, 9 fans ensure to keep the remaining components cool to avoid SPOFs (Single Point Of Failure).

In order to meet the growing need for very high performance and high-density servers, we have designed the hybrid racks with direct liquid cooling of processors and GPUs.

The most power-hungry and particularly heated components are exposed to a liquid circuit in order to be cooled more efficiently than by air cooling.

Immersion Cooling

Immersion Cooling - Get to the highest level of cooling

To go further in energy saving and performance, 2CRSI develops solutions with immersion cooling. Servers are submerged in tanks filled with a non- conductive fluid which cools all the components down, allowing to reach the highest level of data center efficiency.

Thanks to immersion, servers do not need fans to be cooled anymore and data centers no longer need to invest in expensive and inefficient air con- ditioning systems. At the scale of a datacenter, this represents 25% savings on the implemen- tation of a datacenter (CAPEX) and 40% on its operating costs (OPEX).

Immersion cooling is a sustainable choice: life of the components is extended, energy consumption is reduced and the heat generated can be reused.

To push back the limits of energy saving and performance, 2CRSI develops immersion cooling solutions. Servers are immersed in tanks filled with a non-conductive fluid that cools all components. This technology allows a data center to achieve the best possible energy performance by reducing the floor space used.

As an indication, the surface area required for a set of 200 racks in air cooling is approximately 1000m2. At equivalent power, with immersion cooling, the requirement is only 20 racks, which represents a total surface area of 30m2.

Space saving between 85 and 97%. Average PUE of 1.03.
