General information

Short Summary
The solution developped by the French SME is a sustainable, innovative, and secure data center cloud provider, sovereign in European territory, based on Immersion Cooling Technology. The company is seeking partners with commercial or technical cooperation agreement.
Full Description
This technology allows the servers to be submerged in an oil bath tank, reducing their energy consumption by more than 40%. The heat generated by the servers is captured and utilized to warm nearby homes and offices.
An innovative cloud solution has been developped specifically for AI clients (Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep learning, HPC, Blockchain, 5G/IoT, Gaming, Rendering, etc...), offering a platform AlaaS that provides the necessary hardware resources (GPU, CPU, RAM, Disk), as well as software tools for running training models (Kubernetes Cluster, Hadoop Cluster).
Additionally, a model based edge data center has been designed. This consists of small modules that include the tank with the liquid and servers, and can be installed in various locations (underground, cellars, technical rooms, etc...).
These modules form a mini-cloud, with the ability to distribute the captured heat to residents of the facility for heating purposes.
Advantages and Innovations
- AlaaS solution dedicated to AI client in the Edge data center model that form a mini cloud in the Immersion Cooling technology
- Energy reduction and heat recycling thanks to immersion cooling technology
- Land costs reduced and profits maximized thanks to the edge model
Stage of Development
  • Available for demonstration
Sustainable Development Goals
  • Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
  • Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
  • Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities

Partner Sought

Expected Role of a Partner
The partner could be :
- Cloud provider or data center host, to install and deploy the Immersion Cooling Solution on-site, rent the space, and explore the demand for cloud services in the region.
- Blockchain stakeholders, seeking servers with IT resources (CPU, RAM, Disk, Nic...) to run the miners for theirs platforms.
- Gaming and studio cinemas focused on 3D rendering, seeking high-performance servers with powerful GPUs (Nvidia, Intel, etc...) to run their entertainment content or advertising with high quality graphics.
- Artificial Intelligence & HPC partners seeking powerful IT resources to run their workloads along with large storage capacity to leverage their data and train machine learning models.
- Banks, financial institutions, and research laboratories requiring high-performance IT resources to execute real-time processes and financials transactions.
- Smart cities and municipalities pursuing IoT and 5G projects that demand significant storage capacity to handle the vast datasets generated by their sensors.
