Solution infrastructure
Liquid cooling infrastructure maximizes cost-efficiency and is easy to deploy. The infrastructure is based on modular cooling and power supply systems. Cooling system is developed with support of gradual increase of performance by installing pump units depending on actual load on computing equipment. Therefore, modular structure of the cooling system enables deployment of a balanced solution meeting current cooling needs that can be scaled by simply adding cooling and power modules. Liquid cooling system infrastructure is based on validated modules with patented cooling and control scheme providing exactly needed power based on the number of computing elements and actual load.
Control and monitoring
Automated control system has modular structure and can be customized for each specific facility. Automated control system has many integrated units and controls and can be used as an independent monitoring system with SMS alerts or as a protection system capable to switch off components in case of emergency. The control system displays all infrastructure modules in real time with all relevant parameters. RSC BasIS platform is used as the central control system.
