Patented Vertical Cooling Technology

Helps increase overall data center density by allowing more servers and storage to be supported.

Helps reduce overall loads placed on CRAC units. Requires fewer CRAC units for equivalent IT load.

Award-winning, patented technology that leads the industry in energy efficient design.

Allows Cirrascale to continue to support the most powerful processors on the market at time of launch.

Racks can go in cold or hot aisles.

Cirrascale’s award-winning, patented Vertical Cooling Technology

VCT for Cirrascale’s BladeRack 2 Series Platforms

Patented Vertical Cooling Technology VCT for Cirrascale’s FOREST Container Platforms

Built using the same concepts as Cirrascale’s VCT for BladeRacks.

Fan power is reduced to only being 4% - 8% of overall load.

Refrigerant pumping overhead is just greater than 1%.

Similar cooling practice allows Cirrascale to utilize BladeRack 2 FM & FE blades in FOREST reducing customer overhead.

The only container on the market that utilizes this advanced technology.

Container use cases largely similar to traditional DC

Short to medium term focused as follows :

Containers Change Data Centers Forever

• Up to 50% CapEx, Up to 70% OpEx vs. Best Data Centers Compelling economics

• 1.05 – 1.20 PUE (sometimes cool water is free)

• Fans - 15 vs. 45 watts per server (save 52kW in FANS)

• Same fans cool the equipment and “air-conditioning”

Dramatically better energy efficiency

• Short decision cycles – 90 days - Invest as you add capacity

• Short/efficient install times – 1-2 days, tested at factory

• Vendor responsible for power and cooling distribution

Much easier operational use

• Leasing of the integrated solution is easy

• No long depreciation data center that must be refurbished

• Significant Rebates from Utility companies Financially flexible

FOREST Vertical Cooling Airflow Simulation

FOREST uses a closed loop refrigerant-based cooling system

Chilled water is used to cool the refrigerant

The water is localized to one end of the container which reduces exposure in the event of water leakage

FOREST does NOT require downtime for cleaning of the micro channels!

93% efficient (new design to 96%)

Up to two shelves per Carriage or Rack

Tolerates 1 cycle of dropout at 100% of load

Drives container PF to near unity

The AC power comes into the supplies and that power is isolated from the DC bus that feeds the servers. Thus all server load is applied against the common DC bus so wherever the load is coming from it sees the same bus. In other systems, the AC power comes directly to the servers, so the way the servers spread the load leads to the imbalance across the AC phases.
