Asetek Wins Frost & Sullivan Award for Their Revolutionary Data Center Cooling Solution
RackCDU is a Simple, Low-cost Solution for All Types of Data Centers
September 4, 2014 - Based on its recent analysis of the data center
cooling solutions market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Asetek® with the
2014 Global Frost & Sullivan Award for New Product Innovation
Leadership. Asetek's RackCDUT employs a warm water, server-level, direct
-to-chip, liquid cooling system for servers (http://asetek.com/data
-center/data-center-coolers/rackcdu-d2c.aspx). This ground-breaking
solution reduces the energy required for the cooling of data center IT
equipment by 60-80 percent and total data center energy consumption by
30 percent. In addition to the award, Frost & Sullivan has released
their research report on Asetek's
RackCDU (http://asetek.com/media/68943/Asetek_Frost-Sullivan-2014-Award
-Report.pdf).
Asetek has changed the perception of liquid cooling as being expensive
and complex. Asetek's RackCDU is a simple, efficient and reliable
cooling system for all types of data centers (large and small,
supercomputing and enterprise). Asetek's understanding of how data
centers operate in the real world has led to RackCDU being easy to
install and use.
"We are honored to be recognized by a first tier analyst firm such as
Frost & Sullivan. The award validates our ability to address the
everyday needs of the data center industry and the cooling problems it
faces," said André Sloth Eriksen, Founder and CEO of Asetek.
Asetek's strategy of leveraging an industry-standardized solution at a
much lower cost and providing a compelling return-on-investment (ROI),
is in stark contrast to previous liquid-cooling solutions' approach of
only appealing to data centers that valued performance over cost
savings. Asetek's payback period of less than 12 months has made it a
popular choice in all types of data centers.
"Asetek´s RackCDU can be installed in existing or new data centers with
minimal impact on infrastructure or operations, and almost completely
eliminate specialized training of data center staff," said Frost &
Sullivan Senior Industry Analyst Gautham Gnanajothi. "This combination
has resonated with end users, most of whom had not considered liquid
-cooling until now."
According to Frost & Sullivan's report, the success of Asetek's products
is primarily the result of its efforts to create awareness, demand and
differentiation in previously non-existent markets.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to a company that has
developed an innovative element in a product by leveraging leading-edge
technologies. The award recognizes the value added features/benefits of
the product and the increased ROI it offers customers, which in turn
increases customer adaption and overall market penetration potential.
