Iceotope Technologies is excited to announce that their KUL Extreme solution in collaboration with HPE, Intel, and nVent has won the Mission Critical Top Tier Product Awards 2023.

The Top Tier Product Awards recognizes manufacturing excellence in mission critical equipment that embraces safety, energy efficiency, and innovative solutions to ensure reliable uptime for the data centers of today and tomorrow. Iceotope’s KUL Extreme solution was recognized in the Thermal Management category.

“There are so many sides to the mission critical story,” said Sarah Harding, group publisher for Mission Critical. “What I love about this contest is that it recognizes so many aspects of the industry – from power solutions, thermal management, and safety to cabling, IT equipment, and software. Like our past winners, the 2023 Top Tier Products demonstrate manufacturing excellence while embracing safety, energy efficiency, and innovation.”

An Open RAN liquid cooling solution, KUL Extreme, was developed to support far edge computing across the data center landscape. The product significantly reduces energy consumption and delivers a sustainable solution across distributed workloads, for both telco service providers and enterprises in remote and extreme edge locations. 

Developed as a solution designed for high-demand workloads, KUL Extreme was created to enhance sustainability, energy efficiency, and serviceability. The solution offers flexibility to support liquid and air-cooled devices, with the ability to operate in various environments including cellar bases, data centers, and more. 

David Craig, CEO, Iceotope said: “Working in close collaboration with industry leaders Intel and HPE, Iceotope has delivered an innovative solution to the immediate challenges facing RAN network deployments. In doing so, this partnership has enabled the rapid advancement of a host of 5G powered applications bringing data processing and content closer to the point of use in all industrial, commercial and consumer contexts.”

KUL  Extreme was designed for a variety of data center and edge computing applications, including:

• High-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) workloads that require high computing power and efficient cooling
• Edge computing where space is limited and traditional air-cooled servers may not be suitable
• Far-edge deployments where servicing devices is costly and minimizing on-site maintenance is key
• Cloud computing environments that require high computing power, high-density server deployment, and efficient cooling

By switching to precision liquid cooling solutions like the KUL Extreme, data centers will be able to target and cool the hottest components of a server with a small amount of dielectric coolant, eliminating the need for traditional air-cooling infrastructure.
