Compal, ZutaCore Collaborate to Showcase Groundbreaking Waterless Two-Phase Liquid Cooling Server Solutions at SC24

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

Compal Electronics, a global leader in server innovation, has partnered with ZutaCore®, a leading provider of waterless direct-to-chip two-phase liquid cooling (2P DLC) solutions, to introduce a series of groundbreaking server solutions. This partnership sets a new benchmark for sustainable, high-performance data center solutions to address the evolving needs of high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications. Their joint innovations will take center stage at Supercomputing 2024 (SC24), providing the industry with fresh insights into cutting-edge technologies and practical applications.

At SC24, Compal will unveil the SD221-8A-L server, the flagship solution born from this collaboration. The SD221-8A-L is a 2U 4-node high-density design platform with direct liquid cooling (DLC) capabilities, supporting high processor TDP for demanding workloads. Its innovative front-access serviceability eliminates the need to unplug and replug DLC connections at the rear of the chassis, significantly streamlining maintenance and reducing downtime. The front I/O design also preserves PCIe slot spacing, ensuring seamless integration of DLC harnesses without compromising expandability. These thoughtful engineering choices ensure optimal performance, reliability, and operational efficiency.

This server's vital breakthrough is the integration of ZutaCore’s HyperCool® system, a revolutionary waterless two-phase liquid cooling solution for AI factories. HyperCool dramatically reduces water usage in the data center, enabling the highest sustained performance, server densification, and reduced power usage, which is critical for meeting the power demands of today’s AI, HPC, and ML workloads.

Recognizing the specific challenges faced by data centers in water-scarce regions, Compal has leveraged its market insights to promote ZutaCore HyperCool in the Middle East and India. Early customer feedback highlights the system's environmental benefits, high efficiency, and operational stability, establishing it as an ideal solution for next-generation data center demands.

Compal’s announcement of the SD221-8A-L marks a significant milestone for two-phase liquid cooling in data centers. This launch not only underscores the shared commitment of Compal and ZutaCore to advancing green computing but also reflects their dedication to delivering high-performance, sustainable solutions to the global market. Moving forward, both companies plan to deepen their collaboration and introduce more comprehensive liquid cooling server solutions tailored to industry needs.
