Server cooling technology development route
In the context of the turbulent development of the cloud computing industry, more and more data centers have been established. Servers are the core equipment of data centers. Their high performance, high availability, and high cost performance have become important indicators to measure the quality of servers. Due to the limited size of the server, many high-power electronic components run in it for a long time and under high load. Whether the heat generated by the electronic components can be transferred to the outside in time is directly related to the stability of the server operation. Therefore, the heat dissipation problem of the server has become a major obstacle restricting the development of the server. This article analyzes and sorts out the related server cooling technology at home and abroad, and can find the development route of server cooling technology, and determine the server cooling technology from it.
Server cooling technology development route
The development of server cooling technology can be roughly divided into three stages:
(1) 1965-2000 was the embryonic period of technology: server cooling technology has appeared abroad, but the development is relatively slow. This is because the development of large computers and servers was just in its infancy at that time, and server cooling in this period was mainly based on personal computers. The heat dissipation technology is mainly based on traditional air-cooling technology. At the same time, liquid-cooling technology has also appeared, mainly immersing electronic components in non-conductive coolant, and is limited by the development of material technology at the time, and the manufacture of radiators high cost.
(2) 2001-2009 is the technological maturity period: at this time, with the advent of the Internet era, the heat dissipation requirements for servers are getting higher and higher. In addition to the improvement of traditional air-cooling technology and liquid-cooling technology, there are also For the intelligent control technology of fan control, with the development of material technology, the manufacturing cost of the radiator also decreases.
(3) 2010 has been a period of rapid development: With the development of cloud computing, more data centers are established, and more and more servers need to be deployed in a limited space, and the heat dissipation problem has become a data center that needs to be resolved. At this time, intelligent control technology has become the focus of research, and the emergence of new heat dissipation materials has also brought new vitality to the field of heat dissipation.
