Ready Server tests immersion cooling in Singapore data centre

Ready Server, a Singapore‑based web‑hosting and digital‑infrastructure firm, has begun testing full‑immersion cooling for its AMD‑based servers. Using dielectric fluid tanks supplied by US cooling specialist GRC, the company submerges complete server hardware in a non‑conductive coolant to improve heat dissipation, lower electricity consumption and allow higher‑density rack deployments.

The trials respond to soaring compute demand from AI and machine‑learning workloads, which are straining traditional air‑cooling systems and driving up component costs amid a global shortage. Immersion cooling is expected to reduce power‑usage‑effectiveness metrics and enable servers to run at peak performance without thermal throttling, though it requires preparation of components such as removing labels and adhesives before submersion.
