Aruba S.p.A has implemented liquid cooling at its data centre campus in Ponte San Pietro (BG), near Milan.
The Global Cloud Data Center (IT3) campus, which began operations in 2017, covers an area of 200,000 m² and provides 60 MW of capacity.
According to Aruba, the liquid cooling solution was integrated into the campus without needing to dedicate a separate space or portion of the facilities to liquid cooling, which reduced the installation time as all data rooms had already been prepared for applications involving liquid-based heat exchange.
“By establishing one of the first spaces equipped to accommodate liquid-cooled cabinets, Aruba is one of few industry players ready to provide the next generation of machines designed for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing,” said Giancarlo Giacomello, Head of Data Centre Offering.
“This type of solution responds to the growing needs of the market that require an increase in computing density and power, offering full compatibility with next-generation systems. Integrating liquid cooling solutions into our infrastructures is part of Aruba’s innovation strategy, based on the desire to explore and support all initiatives that allow us to offer customers the highest quality, performance and environmentally sustainable solutions. To do so, we design and maintain our data centres at the forefront of technology, ready to face future challenges.”
