Whether it’s helping to revolutionize existing workflows or create all-new categories of products and services, AI is the hottest topic in the modern economy. For organizations that are working to integrate AI or other computationally intense workloads with current operations, the associated data center power requirements can pose real challenges to their ability to manage energy costs and meet sustainability goals. One of the most surefire ways to boost performance and control power consumption in the data center is to implement effective and efficient thermal management strategies. Servers that are compatible with a wide range of cooling options can play a critical role in helping businesses tailor cooling strategies for their unique needs, enabling them to bring innovative, computationally demanding technologies onboard while sustaining hardware health and keeping power costs under control.
In a recent paper, we reviewed publicly available data to provide an overview of the Dell PowerEdge portfolio of server cooling technologies—including single rack and multi-rack cooling—and discuss factors administrators may want to consider when developing a cooling strategy. We found that Dell offers a range of AMD EPYC CPU-powered PowerEdge servers that are compatible with a variety of cooling technologies and strategies. The PowerEdge line includes both traditional air-cooled servers with Dell Smart Flow configurations for less demanding workloads and direct liquid cooling for GPU-dense workloads. It also provides automated power and thermal management controls so administrators can choose the best heat management plans for their physical layout, infrastructure resources, workload demands, and future scaling needs. With a suitable cooling approach from Dell PowerEdge, businesses can focus on optimizing the performance and reliability of their vital server hardware while lowering future cooling-related operating expenses.
