Background
The Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB) is a leading interdisciplinary research institute specializing in applied mathematics and high-performance computing (HPC). As part of the National High-Performance Computing Alliance (NHR), ZIB supports complex simulations, modeling, and data-intensive applications for research institutions.
pro-com DATENSYSTEME supports the institute as an IT service provider, with a focus on efficient warm water cooling solutions for HPC infrastructure.
Results
- Future-ready infrastructure delivers scalable cooling capacity for upcoming GPU generations and increasing rack densities.
- Smooth integration enables seamless deployment into the existing data center, allowing streamlined commissioning with minimally interrupted research operations.
- Optimized space utilization through the mobile fluid distribution manifold developed by pro-com DATENSYSTEME within the raised floor maximizes the use of limited data center space.
- High scalability via modular design enables expansion without fundamental infrastructure changes.
- Energy-efficient cooling supports reduced energy costs and lower CO₂ emissions.
Location: Berlin, Germany
Critical Need: ZIB needed to expand its supercomputing capacity by deploying next-generation technologies.
