Course Description

Data centers continue to pack more computing power into smaller spaces to consolidate workloads and accommodate processing-intensive applications. As a result, each rack consumes more energy and generates more heat, to the point where air cooling is reaching the limits of what it can do to ensure safe and efficient operations. For data center operators, embracing the right kind of cooling solution for their facility can provide an opportunity to remain ahead of the technological curve and embrace the future with open arms. 

The aim of this course is to provide you with an awareness of the latest innovations in Two-phase immersion cooling so that you are better able to think critically about the cooling options available to your data center.

This e-learning module forms part of the DCD>Academy online-learning library and can be used towards DCP or DCS recertification.
