The Elimination Of Waste
1. Waste infrastructure required to support servers
2. Waste power consumed in supporting the electronics –and running the same electronics with greater speed and efficiency
3. Waste product – producing a viable waste product in the form of hot water
The Iceotope Blade, developed in partnership with Intel, is sealed electronics are immersed
