Through a strategic partnership with Intel and Dell Technologies, UNICOM Engineering, a U.S. headquartered, worldwide supplier of application platforms and services, has added immersion-ready servers to its lineup. This move would demonstrate UNICOM’s dedication to fusing technical innovation with operational effectiveness, environmental sustainability, and economic efficiency.
The new server line, which is based on Dell PowerEdge 16G servers, including the R660-IR, R760-IR, R760xa-IR, and C6620-IR, are outfitted with up to two 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors and prepared for the next 5th Generation. They are designed to manage a range of workloads. These servers would be poised to transform a variety of industries, including high-performance computing (HPC), data analytics (HPDA), high-frequency trading (HFT), conventional corporate IT, virtual desktop infrastructure, and cutting-edge AI and machine learning applications.
UNICOM Engineering’s Chief Technologist and Vice President of Engineering, Austin Hipes, highlights the inventive nature of the business by saying, “Our engineering team, in partnership with Dell Technologies OEM Solutions and Intel, has developed some of the most energy-efficient server platforms on the market. These platforms, which make use of immersion cooling in a single phase, mark a major advancement in technology.”
PCIe Gen5 Capability
These new server technologies are aimed at satisfying the growing power and thermal needs of contemporary systems while providing notable throughput gains. They would provide higher data transfer rates with PCIe Gen5 capability, improving productivity and performance. The most notable feature is the addition of liquid immersion cooling, which would effectively dissipate heat to guarantee peak performance and dependability. This method would ensure steady functioning even in the most difficult circumstances and avoids overheating.
UNICOM Engineering’s General Manager, Rusty Cone, emphasizes the benefits that the firm and its key partners share. He clarifies, saying, “The nexus between technology and the environment is what drives us. Our partnership with Dell Technologies and Intel is essential to achieving both environmental sustainability and the consumer needs of the future. By using immersion cooling, we demonstrate our dedication to energy efficiency and environmental responsibility, in addition to our commitment to responsible resource management.”
The usefulness of this server technology has already been shown by its real-world applications. According to UNICOM, immersion cooling makes a strong argument for general adoption by lowering Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) values, decreasing water use, and integrating waste heat into local energy systems. With reduced power consumption than conventional air cooling systems, it would allow for larger server densities, improving cooling efficiency, and providing more design freedom for data centers. By minimizing space and increasing the number of CPUs and GPUs that can run on a single server, this technology would push the limits of server performance.
