Asetek today announced that the previously undisclosed customer of its first order of RackCDU liquid cooling system is global supercomputing leader Cray Inc. Cray has awarded a contract to provide Mississippi State University with a Cray® CS300-LC™ system — a liquid-cooled version of the Cray CS300 cluster supercomputer. The new Cray system, nicknamed “Shadow,” will be located at the University’s High Performance Computing Collaboratory (HPC²), and will serve as the primary high performance computing system for shared research.

RackCDU is Asetek’s innovative hot water, direct-to-chip, data center liquid cooling technology which removes up to 80% of the heat from servers with an all liquid path and rejects it into ambient outdoor air without chilling. This enables cooling cost reductions in excess of 50%, density increases of 2.5x, and recovery of all the server energy removed by RackCDU for reuse in facility heating and cooling.
