There continues to be increasing interest in liquid cooling technology but also trepidation in the unlikely event of some sort of leak or spill. Enter ZutaCore HyperCool2 direct-on-chip Enhanced Nucleation Evaporator (ENE), a single, closed-loop two-phase, waterless liquid cooling solution that yields unparalleled heat dissipation at the chip level. Brian invited Udi Paret, ZutaCore’s President, to discuss the technology around this new waterless liquid cooling system and how the data center mindset is changing with more movement to alternative cooling technologies. The benefits of liquid cooling systems are hard to ignore. The ZutaCore HyperCool2 technology is revolutionizing the market by alleviating cooling boundaries at the chip level, server, rack, POD, and data center levels. Unlike water-based solutions that carry the risk of IT meltdown, HyperCool2 leverages a safe, non-conductive, refrigerant. It is a complete hardware system, enhanced by a software-defined-cooling platform resulting in a low-pressure system that triples computing densities on a fraction of the footprint. Udi considers himself a strategic and operating executive with a demonstrated international history of success, leading Fortune 500 divisions and Venture Capital start-ups across a wide spectrum of industries like IP networking, data storage, and data center management in the enterprise, System Integrator, and renewable energy domains. Prior to taking the helm with ZutaCore in 2019,  Udi was engaged with the company as an advisor from 20017 through 2019.  Udi continues to perform duties as an Adviser with Next Energy Technologies, a role he has held since 2014. Next has developed proprietary organic semiconducting materials — Soluble Small Molecule Organic Photovoltaic (SSM-OPV) — that are earth-abundant, low cost, and non-toxic. Udi brings a lot of data center and cooling technology knowledge to this podcast. He also recognizes the need for companies to get up to speed on energy efficiencies and power management in small to massive data centers. This is a technology that will gain traction, so give this a listen.
