Immersion cooling technology has been gaining traction in APAC with South Korean company KT Cloud having recetnly inked a deal with Immersion 4 to incorporate immersion cooling technology into their data centers.
Earlier in May, data center providers in Japan, KDDI and NTT Data, have been exploring liquid immersion technology to significantly reduce the energy wasted on cooling server hardware.
Iceotope Technologies Limited (“Iceotope”) last year announced the closing of a £30m funding round from a global investment syndicate led by Singapore-based private equity firm ABC Impact. Iceotope specialises in precision immersion cooling technology which reduces the energy and water required in cooling data centre servers.
