Which Liquid Cooling Is Right For You? Immersion And Direct-To-Chip Explained
HPCWire, Tuesday, May 6th, 2025
Over the next two years, the number of liquid-cooled data centers is projected to grow from less than 1 percent of the market to about 30 percent of all installations.
The reason behind such spectacular growth is clear - the power of the processors is growing rapidly every 6 months, and so is the power per rack. As a result, the data center is heating up, and air-based cooling has hit the end of the road. Hyperscalers are no longer asking themselves whether they should use liquid cooling; instead, they want to know which technology to use and how fast they can get up and running. This article takes a deep dive into the various options available today so you can make the best decision for your particular application.
