SmartPod EXO: 3 Key Benefits

Of the many highlights from the SmartPod EXO, we’ve narrowed things down to give you a detailed view of its high performance, climate resiliency, and easy operations.

1. Reliable Performance  

Crafted especially for high capacity and high performance, the SmartPod EXO delivers exceptional high density per square foot.  With the slogan, “Enduring performance to rely on”, the SmartPod EXO ensures reliable performance with 5x9s availability and a heat dissipation capacity of 280 kW+. an extended water temperature range provides flexibility and eases integration.

2. Climate Resiliency  

In terms of climate resiliency, the SmartPod EXO is a straightforward way to achieve sustainability goals and future-proof facilities. By leveraging dry cooling and heat reuse, users have the chance to completely eradicate direct water usage and put waste heat to use. 

Operating with hot water up to 140⁰F (60⁰C) makes free cooling a viable option, in turn, giving you more location choices around the world.

Plus, regulated water flow rate consistently maintains water usage at an optimal level, maximizes its temperature, and minimizes your energy consumption as a result.   

3. Meets Your Service Level Standards  

The SmartPod EXO’s unwavering performance comes coupled with simple operations. Independent access for IT at the front and power distribution at the back make for seamless operation and patch panels prevent the wicking effect.  Remote system management is facilitated through Submer’s API, SNMP & Redfish protocols, which can be easily integrated with flagship DCIM/BMS systems.  

Configurable patch panels, guides, trays, and additional accessories for easy management and scalability.

Hybrid Deployment Example  

Immersion cooling is perfectly compatible with standard air cooling racks and ideal for hybrid deployments. One example of this leveraging 30 SmartPod EXO Twin Tanks (the equivalent to 60 pods) could look like this : 

  • A Tier III design full supported in immersion cooling
  • A dissipation capacity (depending on operating conditions, here the immersion fluid set point is 131⁰F (55⁰C): 3.96 MW with water at 104⁰F (40 ⁰C) or 11.4 MW with water at 68⁰F (20 ⁰C) 
  • Daily IT and cabling operations are facilitated with effective cable management in and out of the pods
