Coolblock Achieves Industry-Leading PUE of <1.03 at Synapsecom Athens Data Center
Coolblock, a leading innovator in advanced cooling solutions for data centers, has achieved an industry-leading Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of less than 1.03 by installing their Archimedes tanks at Synapsecom Telecoms S.A.'s Athens data center. This milestone marks a significant advancement in energy efficiency and positions Coolblock at the forefront of sustainable data center operations.
The PUE metric, which measures the energy efficiency of a data center, is calculated by dividing the total amount of energy used by the facility by the energy used by the IT equipment. Achieving a PUE of less than 1.03 is an extraordinary accomplishment, demonstrating that almost all the energy consumed by the facility is used by the IT equipment, with minimal waste on cooling and other non-IT energy uses.
Innovative Cooling Technology
The breakthrough was made possible by the deployment of Coolblock's Archimedes immersion cooling technology, which is designed to cool IT infrastructure efficiently and sustainably. This system significantly reduces energy consumption and operational costs by using a special dielectric liquid to immerse and cool the IT hardware. The benefits of this technology include:
- Energy Efficiency: Achieving a PUE of <1.03, making it one of the most efficient cooling systems available.
- Reduced IT Failures: 40% reduction in IT failures due to stable and uniform cooling.
- Cost Savings: Up to 95% reduction in cooling costs and a significant decrease in CAPEX and OPEX.
- Environmental Sustainability: Zero water waste and reduced carbon footprint.
- Increased Hardware Longevity: Extends hardware lifespan by up to 30%.
- Modular and Scalable: Flexible installation options and scalable to meet growing data center needs.
