Iceotope Study with Meta Reveals Efficiency of Precision Immersion Liquid Cooling for High-Density Storage Drives

Meta Precision Immersion Cooled HDD

Iceotope Study with Meta Reveals Efficiency of Precision Immersion Liquid Cooling for High-Density Storage Drives

  • First known study to test precision immersion cooling for high-density data storage successfully demonstrates efficiency
  • Virtually silent operation helps mitigate acoustic vibrational issues associated with air-cooled solutions
  • The introduction of sealed helium-filled HDDs opens the door for more effective precision immersion liquid cooling in storage racks

SHEFFIELD, United Kingdom, Nov. 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Iceotope, the global leader in precision immersion cooling, announces a new study with Meta confirming the practicality, efficiency and effectiveness of chassis-level liquid cooling technology to meet the cooling requirements of high-density storage disks increasingly being deployed and utilised by hyperscale data centre service providers.

The recently published study with Meta suggests the advantages of improved thermal management, reduced vibration and equalised temperature across the JBOD, which leads directly to lower failure rates and costs for data centre operators. The hard drive systems supplied in a rack form factor in chassis drawers are an ideal fit for precision immersion cooling technology.

Neil Edmunds, Director of Innovation, Iceotope, said: “As demand for data storage continues to escalate, so will the solutions needed by hyperscale data centre providers to efficiently cool the equipment. The study demonstrated that liquid cooling for high-density storage successfully cools the drives at a lower, more consistent temperature for fewer drive failures, lower TCO and improved ESG compliance.”

High-density storage proliferating
With constant streams of data emerging from the Internet of Things, video, artificial intelligence and more, up to 463 exabytes of data is expected to be generated by each person, each day by 2025. How data is accessed and interacted with is constantly changing, causing a real impact on the processing and storage of that data. In just a few years, it’s predicted that global data storage will exceed 200 zettabytes of which half will be stored in the cloud.

This presents a unique challenge for hyperscale data centre storage infrastructure. According to Seagate, cloud data centres choose mass-capacity hard disk drives (HDDs) to store 90% of their exabytes. Typically found in a 3.5-inch form factor, HDDs are a tried and tested technology which continues to offer data centre operators cost-effective storage at scale. Current top-of-the-range units provide 20 TB capacity, but this is expected to reach >120TB by the end of the decade.

More data storage means more spinning disks, higher-speed motors, and more actuators – all of which translates into more power being used. As disks go up in power, so does the amount of heat they produce. The introduction of helium into hard drive enclosures over the last decade has not only improved disk performance with less drag but with the units now sealed, the practicality of using liquid cooling solutions at HDD level has been opened.

Meta study liquid cooling for high-density storage
The study showcases an air-cooled, high-density storage system re-engineered to utilise single-phase immersion cooling. The standard commercial storage system consisted of seventy-two hard drives, two single socket nodes, two SAS expander cards, NIC and a power distribution board in a 4OU form factor. The hard drives were hermetically sealed, and helium filled.

The liquid cooling system tested was an Iceotope precision immersion liquid cooling system – the air-cooled version was modified with the addition of a dedicated dielectric loop connected to a liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger and pump. Meta proceeded to measure temperature variation across the hard drives and cooling pump power in the air-cooled and liquid-cooled systems.

The results are conclusive
The study successfully demonstrated precision immersion cooling was a more efficient means of cooling the HDD racks with the following results:

  • Using precision immersion liquid cooling, the variance in temperature between all 72 HDDs was just 3°C, regardless of location inside the JBODs
  • Liquid cooling demonstrated that the HDD systems could operate reliably in rack water inlet temperatures up to 40°C.
  • System-level cooling power was less than five percent of the total power consumption.
  • Liquid cooling’s virtually silent operation helps mitigate acoustic vibrational issues for drives often encountered with air-cooling solutions.

While precision immersion is found to be a superior alternative to air-cooling high-density disk arrays, other forms of liquid cooling including cold plates, tank immersion, or two-phase immersion, don’t preserve the operational benefits such as HDD density, user access for serviceability and ability to hot swap drives to the same degree.

Tra fish exports post strongest growth among fishery products

Tra fish exports have posted the strongest growth among fishery products so far this year while the biggest revenue was recorded in shrimp shipments, according to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP).

 

During the first 11 months, tra fish export value increased 63% from a year earlier to nearly 2.3 billion USD. The second fastest growth was seen in tuna, up 40% to 941 million USD, followed by squid and octopus with 30% and 704 million USD.

 

Shrimp exports generated over 4 billion USD in revenue, rising 14% year-on-year.

 

The US remains the biggest importer of fishery products from Vietnam, with over 2 billion USD in value, up nearly 10%.

 

Meanwhile, aquatic exports to China and Japan stood at about 1.6 billion USD each, the EU more than 1.2 billion USD, and the Republic of Korea 882 million USD. Members of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), including Japan, accounted for more than 26% of Vietnam’s total fishery exports, with nearly 2.7 billion USD in value, up 34%.

 

In total, Vietnam earned 10.2 billion USD from fishery exports in the 11 months, increasing almost 28% from the same period in 2021.

 

However, November marked the first time this year to witness a decline in exports, down over 14% year-on-year to 780 million USD.

 

Le Hang, director for communications at VASEP, said exports have slowed during the latter half as a result of an inflation-triggered decrease in import demand. Overseas shipments are forecast to contract even more in December, and the downward trend may linger into 2023./.

President hosts representatives from organisations of Koreans in Vietnam

President Nguyen Xuan Phuc met with representatives from organisations of Republic of Korea citizens living and working in Vietnam on December 1, ahead of his State-level visit to the RoK at the invitation of his counterpart Yoon Suk-yeol.

 

At the meeting, RoK Ambassador to Vietnam Oh Young-ju said the RoK attaches special importance to the friendly and cooperative relationship with Vietnam, and has high expectations of President Phuc’s visit that it would open up new opportunities for bilateral cooperation in various fields, especially a cooperation framework for a mineral supply chain.

 

Participants shared the view that the Vietnam-RoK strategic cooperative partnership is developing strongly, and people-to-people exchanges are also flourishing, with the Vietnam-RoK Friendship Association and RoK-Vietnam Friendship Association playing a prominent role.

 

The representatives from the organisations of RoK citizens in Vietnam expressed their hope that President Phuc and relevant agencies always support the RoK community in Vietnam and further facilitate investment and business activities of RoK enterprises in the country.

 

The President appreciated the role of organisations of RoK citizens in Vietnam in supporting RoK nationals in the country and deepening the friendship and mutual understanding between the two peoples.

 

He affirmed that the Vietnamese State always takes care of and protects the legitimate rights and interests of the RoK community, as well as creates the best possible conditions for the community.

 

The State leader said the great achievements of the Vietnam-RoK bilateral cooperation after 30 years establishing diplomatic relations prove that the two countries have become very important partners of each other.

 

However, they still have great potential for expanding cooperation, Phuc said, noting his wish to further promote the bilateral partnership. He asked RoK citizens and enterprises to continue fostering the friendship and cooperation between the RoK and Vietnam./.

Top legislator receives Australian Foreign Minister, parliamentarians

National Assembly (NA) Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue received Australian Foreign Minister, Senator Penny Wong on December 1, within the framework of his official visit to the country.

 

Hue said this is the first official visit to Australia by a Vietnamese senior leader after the 13th National Party Congress in early 2021 to continue implementing the nation’s foreign policy.

 

He also appreciated Minister Penny Wong’s selection of Vietnam as one of the first countries to visit just one month after she took office in May.

 

Minister Wong affirmed that Australia always considers Vietnam a close friend and partner in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the region.

 

The two countries’ discussion towards the upgrade of their relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of their diplomatic ties next year is an important step forward and achievement, demonstrating the strategic trust and shared determination to intensify bilateral cooperation, including in economics, climate change response and other strategic issues, she said.

 

The Vietnamese top legislator affirmed that the Vietnamese NA supports the upgrade of the bilateral relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership at an appropriate time when the two countries complete all necessary procedures.

 

He proposed that Minister Wong coordinate in promoting visits by the two countries’ senior leaders, organising activities to celebrate the 50th anniversary next year, completing the implementation of the Strategic Partnership Action Programme for 2020-2023 and preparing to build a cooperation framework for the next period, accelerating the implementation of the Australia – Vietnam Enhanced Economic Engagement Strategy (EEES), intensifying labour cooperation, and expanding collaboration in digital transformation, energy transition, and climate change adaptation.

 

He expressed his hope that the two sides will strengthen parliamentary cooperation at both bilateral and multilateral levels, and coordinate at multilateral forums on parliamentary matters such as the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), and the Asia-Pacific Parliamentary Forum (APPF).

 

Hue also suggested the Australian Government maintain support and create conditions for the Vietnamese community in the country so that they can continue making positive contributions to Australia and the two countries’ relations.

 

Wong affirmed that in her role, she will promote the implementation of Hue’s proposals, including labour cooperation; and agreed to complete the procedures as soon as possible so that seasonal workers and Vietnamese agricultural workers could work in Australia.

 

She asserted that her country always attaches importance to collaboration with ASEAN, and continues to cooperate actively in the Mekong sub-region issue as well as other regional ones.

 

During his stay, NA Chairman Hue also gave a reception for representatives from the newly-established Australia-Vietnam Friendship Parliamentarians’ Group.

 

He announced that the 15th National Assembly of Vietnam has also established the Vietnam – Australia Friendship Parliamentarians’ Group with 11 members, led by the Chairman of the NA’s Law Committee. He showed his wish that the two groups will play a pivotal role in promoting exchanges between the two countries’ parliamentarians, thus enhancing mutual understanding as well as the sharing of experience and expertise between the two parliaments.

 

Sharon Clayton, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and President of the Australia-Vietnam Friendship Parliamentarians’ Group, affirmed that her group will coordinate closely with the Vietnamese counterpart to promote cooperation between the two parliaments, especially in exchange experience in law making, contributing to lifting the bilateral Strategic Partnership to a new height.

 

In the afternoon of the same day, the Vietnamese NA Chairman observed Q&A session in the Senate and the House of Representatives./.
