The Future of Data Center Technology: Trends to Watch in 2022

Data centers are the core of how businesses effectively run critical applications, store sensitive data, and provide services to their consumers. As data centers have become more complex and in a constant state of motion, the pace of change has accelerated. So, what’s in store for data centers in 2022? Here are the top five data center technology trends to watch out for:

Data Security

With software interconnectedness and ransomware attacks on the rise, data center companies are moving toward a zero-trust security operation model. Software that lets businesses securely map device interactions, enact policies and find weak spots will be a key factor for the future landscape of data centers. Since most organizations now operate in hybrid cloud environments spanning public, private, and on-site infrastructures. Datacenter software that can manage and operate workloads across all three spaces (public, private, and on-premises) will be a key factor in the future of data center technology. Software-defined infrastructure and AI-augmented automation can deliver several advantages of public cloud computing like flexibility, scalability, and optimization with lesser risk of data security breaches and malware attacks. Apart from only looking at a physical data center, businesses must know where their applications are and how the workload is running. Knowing why an application isn’t working is key to data center security.  

Automation and Remote Management/Advanced Management Tools

Organizations continue to show interest in adopting data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tools to monitor and measure operations. The pressing need to manage better infrastructure for data centers started during the pandemic and has been on the rise ever since. Businesses require effective and transparent tools that are automated, remotely operated, and deliver energy reporting. Hybrid environments present challenges that are both horizontal (from the data center to the cloud) and vertical (from the low-level data center facilities to the server, data storage, network, and multiple layers of software). Since hybrid environments aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, advanced management tools are required to tackle such multi-faceted challenges. The continued expansion into edge computing provides a solution.

The Rise of Edge Computing

The computing paradigm is shifting away from centralized hyperscalers to edge computing in 2022. By employing edge computing platforms across a series of data centers, companies can provide high-performance workloads closer to their consumers. Edge computing solutions enable organizations to connect everything and take advantage of ubiquitous real-time data. With the added ability for real-time monitoring, low latency, and highly available apps, it’s no wonder why edge is key for the future of data center technology. This interconnectedness also requires vigilant management to eliminate the risk of breaches in data center security. Luckily, automated management tools can provide increased control and improved power efficiency, especially with high-density computing. Such tools and applications are usually located at 5G base stations, data centers, and the internet of things. Still, the amount of energy and power required to maintain edge devices is robust, making sustainability a topic of contention.

Sustainability

As data center energy consumption continues to grow, sustainable sources to power edge devices and management tools have taken priority. To address this challenge, data centers turn to data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tools that help assess and manage energy use. Additionally, data center system admins have started to increase their use of renewable energy sources like solar and wind power and adopt greener habits and technologies. By adopting greener practices and replacing outdated or inefficient technology, companies can cut down on the waste data centers produce and reduce the cost of operating data centers. The shift to more environmentally friendly designed facilities and utilizing equipment that doesn’t waste as much electricity and produce as much heat are more steps that data centers can take to become more sustainable. In addition, greener cooling technologies like intelligent building management systems, high-efficiency chillers, and liquid immersion cooling technology all boost the energy efficiency of data center cooling systems.

Energy Effectiveness

The ongoing digitization of the world requires a lot of energy. To accommodate, data centers must actively reduce their carbon footprint as climate change becomes a pressing issue globally. Data centers must also look beyond energy efficiency to energy effectiveness. This requires high-performance hardware and interconnected software capable of monitoring both the amount of energy used and how it’s being used. Investments in smart facility management and efficient assets are key trends to watch out for in the next several years. Let’s once again embrace the venerable idiom of “out with the old and in with the new” so we can create a greener and more efficient future for data centers and the world.

What Do We Do?

Today’s data center hardware manufacturers are asked to develop technology capable of handling ever-increasing amounts of data while navigating industry challenges such as environmental impact, uptime, and operating costs that come with building and operating large data centers. Our solution? Immersion cooling. TMGcore researches and develops revolutionary commercial-grade hardware specializing in 2-phase liquid immersion cooling technology that is fully autonomous with our software management service. We provide a world-class experience to our customers and industry collaborators with end-to-end solutions engineering and off-the-shelf, customized designs. Our use of cutting-edge 2-phase cooling technology sets TMGcore apart from its non-immersion computing competitors.

TMGcore developed the OTTO platform to solve industry space and power constraints. OTTO offers businesses a scalable, quick-to-market, secure solution that’s incredibly energy-efficient and cost-effective. It’s fully autonomous, capable of deploying up to 15,000 cores in less than 80 Sq. Ft. due to its modular design and high-density computing. For applications outside of the core, the Edgebox 30 and 4.5 provide the same degree of extremely efficient, 2-phase liquid immersion-cooled data center capacity, with a footprint that’s a fraction of traditional fan-cooled methods. To optimize the features and capabilities of the OTTO platform, TMGcore’s hydroblades were developed as a preliminary set of hardware options. Hydroblades are server, storage, and other hardware components that are designed to be integrated with the platform’s cooling mechanism. After the hydroblades are installed into OTTO devices, they are monitored and controlled through our autonomous manager software platform.

In early 2022, we released ComputeCore. This single-phase liquid cooling solution offers similar sustainability and scalability, albeit in a different format, to our 2-phase cooling solutions. Available in a 48U configuration with an adjustable weir wall, ComputeCore allows companies looking to break away from archaic air-cooled methodologies a new way forward.

The duality of our hardware and software suite provides a seamless, world-class bespoke solution for our customers. All of our products and services are backed by a full-scope infrastructure warranty and customer-centric service offerings to ensure that every organization is considered.

How Does Immersion Cooling Technology Work?

Immersion cooling technology is a method of storing and cooling down data servers as an alternative to fan cooling. Servers are immersed in Dielectric Fluids, which turn into vapor when data chips generate heat. The vapor rises in the tank carrying the heat to the top, and the water flows through coils and carries the heat away. The vapor then condenses and returns to the tank as fluid to repeat the process again and again.

What Are Our Values?

Historically, data storage centers use fan cooling computing technology which accounts for 2% of the world’s electricity consumption. Immersion cooling is both more efficient and sustainable, reducing your carbon footprint by up to 1.2 Megawatts per 800 Sq. Ft. Our compact, modular designs also take up less space for the potential of an additional 120,000 cores. Since our immersion cooling technology uses less energy, customers can reduce operational costs by as much as 70%.

Put simply, TMGcore is committed to providing industry-leading immersion cooling technology and world-class service for every customer and collaborator.

The Rise and Fall…And Rise Again of Data Center Cooling

As data centers have evolved, so too has the cooling technology used to keep them running efficiently. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at some of the most popular technologies used in data center cooling today and how they came to be!

What Is a Datacenter? Why Does It Need Cooling?

A data center is a place where IT equipment and operations are centrally stored by a company in order to store, process, and distribute their data. Often data center infrastructure stores sensitive information and regularly needed materials, so keeping these centers in optimum shape is a critical effort and peak priority.

The equipment in these centers generates considerable heat in their operation. In order to properly maintain their functioning, these data centers must pull the heat out of the facility and its hardware to keep the temperatures inside from overheating and causing disruption in their services. 

The Launch of Datacenter Cooling 

In the 1940s, liquid immersion cooling was used to cool high-voltage transformers. Then in 1960, IBM became the first known developer of a new idea – a direct liquid cooling system for computers. At their start, data centers were once essentially just rooms dedicated to housing very early computer servers. From there, the computers themselves advanced relatively quickly throughout the next few decades, but their storage and its maintenance needs lagged behind developmentally; these newer, smaller computers (generally speaking) could do well enough with the advent of multiple transistors and metal oxide semiconductors that reduced heat emissions. Simple fans added directly to the computer’s internal design could reasonably handle the heat now.

Gaming in the ’90s is credited with changing all that. 

Especially since consumers now could custom-build their personal computers, those new, higher performance systems revived the concept of liquid cooling. As computer use for businesses also skyrocketed, the cooling method made its way back into industrial use as well. It was towards the end of the 2000s, and the invention of new cooling techniques like chilled doors and OTTO two-phase liquid immersion cooling, that data center cooling became a critical need once again to manage the omnipresent widespread use of computing. 

Data Center Cooling Today

These days, infinitely complex tech and greater awareness of its environmental impact has led to the explosion in data center cooling developments. Nowadays, there are three basic types of cooling for data center storage: air-, liquid-, and hybrid-based.

Air-Based Cooling Systems

These systems further break down into 3 types:

Cold Aisle/Hot Aisle

  • This method relies on positioning the hot sides of the computer servers away from the cold sides, which essentially creates a convection system separating the two types of air away from each other. It’s admittedly not the most efficient setup for how much additional cold air ends up needed to keep the center temperature balanced.

Air Containment

  • Building upon the cold aisle/hot aisle concept, the servers are individually contained to prevent the two air types from mixing at all. While an improvement, the method still leads to hot spots within the data center. 

In-Rack Heat Extraction

  • Hot air is removed by introducing a compression cooler directly into the racks that store the servers.

Liquid-Based Cooling Systems

There are 3 types of liquid coolants commonly involved in this type of cooling system:

Water

  • With water-cooled racks, aka rear-door chillers, water streams beside the racks but does not ever touch the servers themselves. While generally effective, there is an inherent risk to this method that the water may leak onto the sensitive equipment, potentially ruining the hardware…, not to mention the fact that the chilling is done with compressors and uses quite some energy to cool.

Synthetic Liquid or Mineral Liquid

  • Both types of liquid are used in the liquid immersion cooling method, where whole servers are completely covered in either the synthetic or the mineral liquid. These liquids are specially crafted to handle all heat emissions while not affecting the hardware negatively. Environmental temperatures are thus able to reduce the warmer water of the secondary coolant loop. This is one of the most energy-efficient forms of cooling currently in practice.

Hybrid-Based Cooling Systems

  • This method is a closed-loop system designed to capture the heat emissions in the data center’s energy recovery water or ERW. It truly takes the best of the liquid- and air-based options and very well may be the next major direction for the entire data center cooling process.

Datacenter cooling is constantly evolving to keep up with the latest demands of technology, and TMG Core is at the forefront of these changes.

The Future of Computing Densities: What to Expect in the Next Decade

Within the next decade, we can expect to see computing densities increase by several orders of magnitude. This exponential growth is made possible by a variety of factors including Moore’s Law, the miniaturization of components, and the increasing demand for mobile and cloud-based applications. In this blog post, we will explore some of the key trends that are driving this growth and discuss what it means for businesses and data centers alike.

What is Computing Density? 

Computing density is the number of computing devices per unit of area. It’s a measure of how much information can be stored and processed in a given space. The higher the density, the more efficient the use of space. Data centers are one of the most important users of computing density. They need to store large amounts of data and processing power in a small space. The denser the data center, the more efficient it is. 

Mobile and Cloud-Based Applications 

One of the key trends is the increasing demand for mobile and cloud-based applications. This is driving businesses to move away from traditional desktop computing and towards more agile, cloud-based solutions. In order to meet this demand, data centers must be able to provide the necessary processing power and storage capacity. This means that we can expect to see higher-density data centers.  

Miniaturization of Components 

Another trend that is driving the growth of computing densities is the miniaturization of components. This is made possible by advances in semiconductor manufacturing and the increasing use of nanotechnology. As components get smaller, more can be packed into a given space. This gives data centers the ability to pack more processing power and storage capacity into a smaller space.  

Augmented and Virtual Reality 

Augmented reality and virtual reality are also driving the need for higher computing densities. These technologies require large amounts of data to be processed in real-time. The massive increase in high-performance computing, i.e. the need to process large amounts of data quickly, is driving businesses to move towards data center and supercomputer solutions that can offer the necessary processing power. 

Artificial Intelligence 

Artificial intelligence demands a massive amount of computing power to consistently pull new sets of data. AI has become a strong trend that is likely to stay as it gradually gets more accurate. 

Bitcoin and Crypto Mining 

With the increase of Bitcoin and other crypto mining, miners are having to look at higher-density mining data centers to stay profitable. To mine a Bitcoin, the computer is required to solve three difficult math problems:  the hashing problem, the byzantine general’s problem, and the double-spending problem. Since there is a finite number of Bitcoin, the less available, the more challenging the problems become. With the difficulty steadily increasing and the value of Bitcoin steadily rising, the profit margins for mining are getting smaller. This is forcing miners to look for ways to increase their computing density in order to stay profitable. 

NFTs on the BlockChain  

NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are traded on the blockchain. They are digital assets that are unique and cannot be replaced. The most popular use case for NFTs is in the gaming industry. Games such as CryptoKitties and Gods Unchained have become extremely popular and have driven the need for higher-density blockchain solutions as the blockchain becomes ever more congested.  

The Future of Computing Densities 

As we can see, there are a number of trends that are driving the growth of computing densities. We can expect to see higher-density data centers as businesses move towards more agile, cloud-based solutions. Businesses and data centers must be prepared to meet this demand by increasing their own densities. This can be done by investing in higher-density data center solutions and supercomputers. TMGCore is one company that is at the forefront of this trend, offering solutions to high-density computing for businesses. 

What Does This Mean for Businesses? 

The trend towards higher computing densities means that businesses need to be prepared to invest in data center infrastructure that can handle the upcoming demand.  

Businesses are able to take advantage of more powerful and efficient solutions. Data centers must be able to adapt to the demands of these new applications. In order to do this, they need to be able to increase their density and do some in the most efficient way possible. 

How Can Computing Density Be More Efficient? 

TMGCore can help. TMGCore offers a variety of solutions to help businesses scale their high-capacity computing to stay up-to-date with the future of computing. 

One of our solutions, TMGCore’s OTTO, is a fully autonomous, 15,000+ core, two-phase liquid immersion data center in a 77SqFt.

Single-phase .vs. Two-phase Immersion cooling

Posted on | by admin

Single-phase .vs. Two-phase Immersion cooling

With data centers now facing greater tech demands than ever before, the temperatures inside modern facilities are at an all-time high too. Unfortunately, overheating will lead to a range of problems, including power outages, hardware damage, and data corruption. Therefore, finding an effective way to control the situation is a priority for all big data centers. TMGcore uses two-phase immersion cooling technologies to maintain the best conditions at all times.

An introduction to Immersion cooling

The importance of cooling is commonly overlooked, but you will soon understand its significance if you allow your servers and equipment to suffer from overheating.

Before looking at single-phase vs. two-phase immersion cooling, it’s essential to understand why liquid immersion cooling is the key choice for on-site data rooms and dedicated data centers in the modern age. Ultimately, keeping all equipment and servers at a suitable temperature will facilitate optimal performances, prevent outages or unexpected downtime caused by overheating, and help all parties stay protected against cyberattacks.

Whether choosing single-phase or two-phase immersion cooling, the fundamental features focus on liquid conducts heat better than air. When combined with the proximity of the liquid and the fact that there is no need for chillers, CRACs, or CRAHs, it is the most practical and effective cooling technique by far.

The days of using expensive and inefficient air conditioning and traditional cooling methods have to end for large-scale operations. Not only do they waste money, but they also deliver a far less reliable performance, which can lead to an array of vulnerabilities. For the best results, though, the right immersion cooling system must be selected.

Single-phase. Vs. Two-phase Immersion cooling

The terms single-phase and two-phase immersion cooling gain their respective names as a result of what happens to the cooling liquid throughout the immersion cooling cycle.

A single-phase immersion cooling system sees servers vertically installed in a coolant bath of circulating hydrocarbon dielectric fluid. This fluid shares many properties with mineral oil. The coolant comes into direct contact with the server components, thus enabling the heat to be transferred. It stays a liquid and is cooled in a cooling distribution CDU by the heat exchanger. The heated coolant exits the rack via the top before the coolant returns via the heat exchanger, while the CDU features a coolant pump.

The two-phase immersion cooling system is relatively similar but sees servers sealed in an engineered fluorocarbon-based liquid. Unlike single-phase, the fluid can boil even before reaching 50°C. The heat generated from the servers boils the surrounding fluid to change its state from liquid to gas. The resulting vapor is changed back to a liquid as water-cooled condenser coils found at the top of racks cool the gas. Once the vapor has become a (now-chilled) liquid, it reenters the cycle, where the server-generated heat will turn it back to a has once more.

Comparing single-phase and two-phase immersion cooling

While they share an underlying principle and function, the two types of immersion cooling produce noticeable differences across the realms of practicality and performance. IT teams, and data centers often adopt single-phase that seek a simplistic solution that requires a smaller initial outlay and potentially reduced maintenance. However, TMGcore OTTO ready two-phase immersion cooling servers solutions are more affordable than previous technologies in this field. In contrast, both immersion cooling techniques are far cheaper than traditional air cooling.

However, several key elements for IT teams and data centers to consider when analyzing which option is best.

Efficiency and operational expenses

Immersion cooling technologies easily outperform air cooling and other traditional techniques, translating to much lower operational costs. However, two-phase immersion cooling is even better than single-phase solutions. Given the growing demands for servers and data systems in modern business, choosing OTTO-ready two-phase immersion cooling offerings becomes the best choice for large-scale operations and data centers, which is why TMGcore utilizes them to pass on savings to the clients.

Cooling capacity and high-density

This is where two-phase immersion cooling stands out as the number one solution by far, delivering at least 20% greater capabilities. While single-phase can handle a lot of servers, the growing presence of advanced and power-advanced tech means that two-phase is ideal for companies that rely on these types of servers. Likewise, it will ensure that businesses are prepared for any evolution in their tech demands over the coming years. The increased cooling also means two-phase can handle spikes in server-generated heating.

Reliability

Both immersion cooling tools allow for incredible flexibility regarding where they can be used within data rooms and data centers. The simplicity of single-phase can be used as an argument that they are more reliable. Conversely, though, two-phase systems won’t succumb to high-density demands. It should be noted that two-phase immersion cooling can cause a larger carbon footprint, which is why partnering with a data center like TMGcore, which is committed to greener operations and using renewable energy is key.

The Verdict

While single-phase immersion cooling is still considered a good option for cooling high-performance computers and hot data center environments, dual-phase immersion cooling systems are the number one solution. They have perfectly matched the growing demands facing IT teams and data center managers alike, including the challenges emerging in the post-pandemic era. TMGcore’s OTTO-ready liquid immersion cooling ensures that all client servers, equipment, and data will perform with the reliability for continued success year after year.
