| Recently, Alibaba announced that it would "immersion liquid-cooled data center technical specifications" open to the society. This specification is intended to provide a design basis for the next generation data center building green base with a set of standard processes, through universal liquid cooling technology to reduce energy consumption of the whole society. Preliminary estimates, if the country's data center liquid cooling technology, a year can save hundreds of billions of electricity. |
2009 to 2019, is the leading cloud computing industry changes in a decade, as the representative of Alibaba Internet companies with insight into the strengths and solid technology are leading independent research and technology innovation IT infrastructure, in addition to liquid cooling technology, Alibaba infrastructure Division also independently developed a 400G optical module, memory components, intelligent power supply technology and other innovative products, enhance the pursuit of the ultimate calculation power.
2016, Ali Baba Release immersion liquid cooling the world's first server, the server will be immersed in a special dielectric cooling liquid, the heat generating operation can be absorbed directly into the outer circulation cooling, the whole energy consumption for cooling is almost zero. This form of heat transfer efficiency to a hundred times higher than the conventional air cooling, energy saving effect more than 70%.
Compared with traditional IT, liquid-cooled data center behind a huge innovation and revolutionary changes, changes to the system hardware requires a lot of manpower and material resources, the current in this area is almost empty, there is no standard for reference. The Ali Baba open source package specification, covering all aspects of data center design, construction, deployment, operation and maintenance, rational planning through integrated design, reduce deployment costs and enhance stability, led the data center to embark on efficient, clean, green intensive development path.
