Liquid Cooling Bags For Data Centers Could Trim Cost and Carbon By 90 Percent


Server farms are undeniably awesome in that they store huge pools of data, enable such modern phenomena as cloud computing and Web-hosted email, and most importantly, make the Internet as it stands today possible.

UK-based Iceotope hopes to cut those costs by about 93 percent by wrapping servers in liquid coolant.
