“Hartree Centre needed a powerful, flexible server system that could drive research in energy efficiency as well as economic impact for its clients. By extending its IBM System x platform with IBM NeXtScale System, Hartree Centre can now move to exascale computing, support sustainable energy use and help its clients gain a competitive advantage..”

—Prof. Adrian Wander, Director of the Scientific

Computing Department, Hartree Centre

“In my 20 years of working with supercomputers, I’ve never had so few failures out of the box. The NeXtScale nodes were solid from the first moment we turned them on..

—Patricia Kovatch, Associate Dean, Scientific Computing,

Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

“IBM delivered server hardware of exceptional performance and provided superior support, allowing us to rapidly integrate the system into our open standards based research infrastructure. Complementing the technical excellence of NeXtScale System, IBM has a long track record in creating high-performance computing solutions that gives us confidence in its capabilities...”

Introducing

IBM NeXtScale System

with Water Cool Technology

43

3 Ways to Cool your Datacenter

Standard air flow with internal fans Good for lower kW densities Less energy efficient Consumes more power – higher

OPEX Typically used with raised floors

which adds cost and limits airflow out of tiles

Unpredictable cooling. Hot spots in one area, freezing in another

Air cool, supplemented with RDHX door on rack

Uses chilled water Works with all IBM servers and

options Rack becomes thermally transparent

to data center Enables extremely tight rack

placement

100% water cooled No fans or moving parts in system Most energy efficient datacenter Most power efficient servers Lowest operational cost Quieter due to no fans Run processors in turbo mode for max

performance Warm water cooling means no expensive

chillers required Good for geographies with high electricity

Water Cool Technology

• Requires no auxiliary cooling³• No chillers required due to warm water cooling

(up to 45 C)3

• No Fans required for compute elements• Small power supply fans only• Lower operational costs, and quieter

• Re-use warm water to heat other facilities• Run processors at higher frequencies (Turbo mode)

NeXtScale System with Water Cool TechnologyAchieve extreme scale with ultimate efficiency
