I'm a bit surprised that this kind of incredibly engineered hyperconverged rack system isn't doing some form of liquid cooling.
- wmf 3mo ago99% of data centers do not have liquid available to the rack. Liquid within the rack doesn't really help.
- schainks 3mo agoNot worth the capex to do that. Air cooling with evaporators up front is pretty standard and works great, not to mention fewer moving parts.
- eep_social 3mo agoInterop standards for this like Open19 are not widely deployed and without interoperability it’s a dead end since you need the hosting provider to give you the drop to your rack or cage. Hyperscalers I don’t know, but I’d guess they don’t deploy rack density that calls for liquid cooling yet.
