8-element cooling design

Most competitive systems offer cooling across only 5 elements. HPE’s 8-element cooling design includes the full server blade, the network fabric, local storage, GPU, CPU, rack/cabinet, pod/cluster, and CDU.

High-density, high-performance system design

Complete system deployment, from design through testing and monitoring with on-site services for both compute and cooling systems.

Integrated network fabric design

Designed for massive scale and built upon the dragonfly topology, this liquid cooled fabric connects directly with copper to reduce cost and power requirements.

Open system design

Choice of CPU and GPU accelerators provides workload flexibility and optimization.

Direct Liquid Cooling delivered reliably at scale

No matter your cooling challenge, our experts will work with you to develop the right solution based on your specific  data center needs.

100% fanless Direct Liquid Cooling

Efficiency and performance matter. The top performing compute systems need the most efficient liquid cooling. Coolant flows through a network of tubes and cold plates to extract heat directly from all components on the server.

70% Direct Liquid Cooling

Combined Direct Liquid Cooling and air cooling.

Liquid-to-air cooling

Chilled water supply from the facility cools down the air-cooling system positioned close to the servers.

Air cooling

Fans, air conditioning and vents circulate air and remove heat from computing equipment.
