Intel is partnering with Shell Global Solutions (U.S.) Inc. to address the need for data center infrastructure.
According to the companies, this first-of-its-kind solution—Intel Data Center Certified for Immersion Cooling—sets a new industry standard for cooling efficiency and long-term performance with the first immersion solution for 4th Gen and 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors.
“Certification and validation are at the core of this collaboration, ensuring that data center operators have access to proven high-performance solutions they can trust,” said Dr. Selda Gunsel, NAE, the chief technology officer and executive vice president of technology for Shell. “Together we’re showcasing that it’s possible to skip the proof-of-concept phase and jump straight to pre-vetted solutions that have been proven to deliver enhanced performance, improved energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact—backed by industry-first full certification and warranty options from Intel.”
Through extensive testing and rigorous validation by Intel's Advanced Data Center Development Laboratory, this solution combines the power of Intel Xeon processors with the expertise of fellow pioneers in single-phase immersion cooling.
It allows data centers to deploy proven high-performance infrastructure with the confidence that it will stand up to the demands of modern AI and high-performance computing workloads.
With this certification, Intel offers a Xeon Processor Single-Phase Immersion Warranty Rider that affirms confidence in the durability, efficiency and compatibility of immersion-cooled IT infrastructure with Shell Immersion Cooling Fluids.
Intel and Shell are exploring future collaboration opportunities to certify Intel’s latest generation processors for use with Shell fluids.
“As data center demands continue to grow, Intel Data Center Certified for Immersion Cooling solutions will play a crucial role in delivering energy-efficient and scalable computing infrastructure,” said Karin Eibschitz Segal, corporate vice president and interim general manager of the data center group at Intel. “This milestone lays the foundation for future innovation and collaboration, ensuring that data centers have access to trusted, validated, and ready-to-deploy cooling technology.”
