Fujitsu Unveils Liquid-Cooled Primergy Servers

Fujitsu is introducing a liquid-cooled server solution that officials say will reducing cooling costs by 50 percent and increase data center density by up to five times for such scale-out environments as high-performance computing.

The company last week unveiled the Primergy CX400 M1 and its cluster nodes that make up the company's Cool-Central Liquid Cooling Solutions, which were developed in conjunction with Asetek, a company based in Denmark that makes liquid-cooling technologies for data centers, servers and PCs.

Fujitsu officials said that traditional data centers typically use up to 40 percent of their power to cool the facilities, so reducing energy consumption is high on the list of data center operators. So are increasing density and saving space, they said.
