Problem
Traditional air-cooling systems in data centers struggle to manage the increasing heat densities of modern hardware, leading to inefficiencies, higher energy consumption, and potential performance bottlenecks. These systems also consume significant amounts of water and contribute to a large carbon footprint.
Solution
Submer provides immersion cooling solutions for data centers, submerging servers in a proprietary dielectric fluid that efficiently captures 100% of the heat generated by IT equipment. This single-phase immersion cooling technology enables higher density computing, reduces energy consumption by up to 95%, and eliminates water usage for cooling. Submer's SmartPod and MicroPod product lines offer modular, scalable solutions for various deployment scenarios, from hyperscale data centers to edge computing environments. The company's approach facilitates heat reuse, extends hardware lifespan, and reduces overall total cost of ownership (TCO) while promoting sustainable data center operations.
Target Audience
Submer's primary customers include hyperscale data centers, enterprises, cloud providers, and high-performance computing (HPC) facilities seeking to improve energy efficiency, increase compute density, and reduce their environmental impact.
