• More powerful computer hardware in general
• Smartphones, Tablets, Social Media, Big Data, Virtualization etc. needs more power
• Servers and data centers have become denser, more hardware in less space requires more cooling
• More efficient cooling solutions are needed
• Direct To Chip Liquid cooling is more efficient, green and at the same time it can recycle waste heat
Building ecosystem to turn a niche business into a mainstream hardware provider
