Learn more about how Lenovo is bringing you faster, easier and more powerful Al.
Overview
New high-performance applications using AI technology require more system power than ever, increasing energy demands. Lenovo 6th Generation Neptune™ Liquid Cooling tackles this problem by using liquid to remove heat, which is much more efficient than traditional air cooling and provides maximum performance while dramatically improving energy efficiency.
For customers who need maximum AI and HPC performance but don’t have liquid cooling infrastructure, we partner with leading colocation companies to offer Neptune™-ready infrastructure for private AI workloads.
Lenovo Neptune™ Liquid Cooling is HPCwire’s Best HPC Server Product or Technology for 2023, one of HPCwire’s Top 5 New Products or Technologies to Watch in 2023, CRN’s 2024 Best Green Energy Product of the Year, winner of the 2024 SEAL Sustainable Product Award.
Neptune's holistic approach to liquid cooling goes beyond simply cooling the CPUs. It includes:
- Direct warm water cooling of entire systems for maximum performance and efficiency, turning waste heat into value by allowing hot water reuse in the facility
- Direct water cooling of individual system components, available throughout our mainstream ThinkSystem portfolio
- Liquid-assisted cooling for the benefits of liquid in an air-cooled system
- Rack-level rear door water cooling
- Energy Aware Runtime (EAR) and XClarity Energy Manager software to optimize performance and power
Lenovo Tech World 2023: Wall of Neptune™
Check out our Neptune™ Liquid Cooling demo from Lenovo Tech World, where we showed how our cooling technology helps keep even the hardest working AI servers cool.
Why choose Lenovo for liquid cooling technology?
Neptune™ enables performance without compromise.
“Moving from air cooling to Lenovo Neptune™ liquid cooling, our cluster delivers four-times greater performance than our previous infrastructure within the same physical footprint, increasing our processing power so we can run cutting-edge research faster.”
- Scott Yockel, University Research Computing Officer, Harvard University
