Finalists announced in DatacenterDynamics EMEA 2012 awards

George Rockett, chief strategy officer at DatacenterDynamics, said: " DatacenterDynamics EMEA Awards form part of a Global Awards Programme which recognises innovation and leadership across the data center industry. Built up over the last six years these Awards are the most sought after in the industry." The Global Awards Programme consists of separate awards which celebrate the people, companies and developments in markets including North America, LATAM, Brazil, China and South East Asia. Future thinking and design concepts Asetek, Inc, for RackCDU liquid cooling system for Data Center Efficiency. Internal loop liquid coolers enable server manufacturers to utilize the highest performing CPUs and GPUs in high density server and blade designs where air coolers cannot support these processors. The highest performance processors are typically the processors that draw the highest wattage (have the highest TDP—thermal design power) and require most cooling. The superior cooling characteristics of liquid enabled Asetek internal loop liquid coolers to capture more heat and transfer it into a given air stream. For example, servers that are limited to 95W TDP CPUs today can often support 130W TDP CPUs with Asetek internal loop liquid cooling.

Iceotope for the Iceotope Liquid Cooling Liquid allows us to harvest heat from all the electronics quickly, efficiently, effectively and in a form that can be reused or efficiently disposed of. We use 3M Novec Engineered Fluid because it is nonconductive, inert, and has excellent convection properties. It also provides fire protection at the component level. Munters Ltd for DigiPlex A2A Indirect Evaporative Cooling Modular Data Centre Munters Oasis Indirect Evaporative Cooler solution is a proven technology, cooling data centres with a combined processing capacity of over 71MW worldwide.   Compared to typical high efficiency free cooling solutions the OasisIEC provides: •          Similar or equal capital investments costs •          Up to 80% savings in annual running costs •          Up to 83% reduction in energy consumption •          A partial PUE in London of less than 1.03 University of Tromsø is also named for its Design and Implementation af a Data Centre based on hot water cooling   Asetek, Inc Icetope Munters University of Tromsø
