World Wide Technology (WWT) and ZutaCore Win Binational Industrial Research and Development (BIRD) Foundation Award for Eco-Friendly Transformation of Data Centers
The impact on data center economics is transformative, with zero change to an existing infrastructure and significantly lower operating costs than conventional cooling systems.
ZutaCore, a direct-on-chip, two-phase, waterless liquid cooling company, has been awarded a highly competitive innovation grant from the Board of Governors of the Israel-U.S. Binational Industrial Research and Development (BIRD) Foundation, in partnership with World Wide Technology (WWT), to enable ESG compliance in the data center by revolutionizing and optimizing liquid cooling, energy and heat reuse.
ZutaCore HyperCool® dissipates heat at the source, cutting the cooling power infrastructure needed from the server eliminating the risk of IT meltdown, guaranteeing consistent performance in any climate and location, and enabling 100% heat capture. Using a highly efficient two-phase boiling and condensation process, ZutaCore HyperCool efficiently moves large amounts of heat off 1000W chips and beyond and away from servers. The impact on data center economics is transformative, with zero change to an existing infrastructure and significantly lower operating costs than conventional cooling systems.
As a global systems integrator that provides digital strategy, and innovative technology and supply chain solutions to large public and private organizations, World Wide Technology (WWT) offers a broad portfolio of end-to-end services. On the heels of being a ZutaCore HyperCool certified partner, and with the solution deployed at its Advanced Technology Center (ATC), the grant allows WWT and ZutaCore to further extend its ESG value. The companies are now embarking on a joint “Triple Zero Strategy” to enable ESG compliance towards zero carbon and water usage, zero effort through automation, and zero trust cyber security at the highest level.
“We are proud to have earned the trust and investment from the BIRD Foundation and are grateful for the partnership with ZutaCore. The investment will further WWT’s mission to help our customers accelerate their Net Zero journey by helping them take a smarter, more strategic approach to ESG programs and initiatives by delivering consulting and sustainable technology solutions,” said Earl J. Dodd, Global HPC Business Practice Leader, WWT.
With the BIRD funding, WWT and ZutaCore can extend the HyperCool advanced cooling solutions towards high performance and sustainable digital infrastructure solutions that support deployment of net carbon neutral data centers at the global scale.
