- Via a multi-year collaboration, ExxonMobil and Intel will work together to
develop and certify next-generation, energy-efficient, liquid-based
cooling technologies for Intel’s Xeon technology - ExxonMobil and Intel will address global growth in data center energy
demand and sustainability goals by enhancing the energy efficiency of
Intel computing architecture and Intel-based computing systems
Spring, Texas, and Santa Clara, Calif. – ExxonMobil and Intel, today announced
a strategic alliance focused on the development of next-generation, energy-
efficient, liquid-based cooling technologies. Together, the two companies
provide scale, global reach, and industry leading technologies to the fast-
evolving and growing data center market.
Intel is one of ExxonMobil’s key strategic value chain partners for the
company’s recently launched full portfolio of data center immersion fluid
products that can help optimize data center performance across all industries
and geographies.
“By integrating ExxonMobil’s proven expertise in liquid cooling technologies
with Intel’s long legacy of industry leadership in world-changing computing
technologies, together we will further the industry’s adoption and acceptance
as it transitions to liquid cooling technologies,” said Sarah Horne, Vice
President, ExxonMobil.
“Our partnership with ExxonMobil to co-develop turnkey solutions for liquid
cooling will enable significant energy and water savings for data center and
network deployments. Through this collaboration we are making progress on
our journey to sustainable computing for a sustainable future,” said Jen
Huffstetler, Chief Product Sustainability Officer, Intel.
This collaboration aims to help customers meet their sustainability goals and
design, test, research and co-develop energy efficient cooling fluid solutions
which are approved for use with Intel-based computing architecture and/or in
Intel-based computing solutions.
Today it is estimated that data centers represent ~2% of the worlds energy
demand and that this will grow to ~5% by 2030.1 Managing this demand
growth will be important and is why ExxonMobil and Intel are announcing their
collaboration in liquid-based cooling technologies.
