Japanese IT services firm Fujitsu has partnered with US IT solutions provider Supermicro Inc. and Nidec, a Japanese electric motor manufacturer, on the initiative. As part of the collaboration, the partners will combine Fujitsu's liquid-cooling monitoring and control software, Supermicro’s high-performance GPU servers, and Nidec’s high-efficiency liquid-cooling system to develop an integrated service to support the increase of data center power usage effectiveness (PUE).

In using Fujitsu’s liquid cooling technology, the partners expected to improve overall data center efficiency by up to 40 percent compared to air-cooled methods. The use of Supermicro’s GPUs aims to eliminate the need for air cooling fans, and Nidec’s cooling system is expected to improve thermal management and reduce overall power consumption. Nidec will also provide proprietary pump technology.

The company claims that the solution is tailored for customers who are considering liquid-cooling for their data centers and will provide a one-stop support for the entire liquid-cooling solution lifecycle. The offering will be provided through a subscription model, which can be deployed with a low initial investment cost.
