Immersion cooling and urban micro datacenters: moving compute closer

Immersion cooling and urban micro datacenters: moving compute closer

With a well-designed immersion cooling system such as VOLTANEUM by ITNET TECHNOLOGIES, the classic constraints of air-cooled server racks change deeply.

IT components are cooled in a dielectric fluid, which helps control heat generated by GPU servers, AI infrastructure and high-density HPC workloads.

VOLTANEUM key facts

  • Published immersion colocation capacities: 10U, 20U and 37U.
  • Target density up to 200 kW+ per tank depending on integration and electrical constraints.
  • 1.03 target PUE for optimized high-density architectures.
  • Immersion cooling billed at €0.07/kW, electricity excluding cooling metered separately.
  • VOLTANEUM® proprietary dielectric fluid and France / Europe operations.

What the customer actually gets

Immersion cooling changes the feasibility of urban micro datacenters because it significantly reduces high-speed server fans, noise, dust, vibration and hot airflow associated with traditional air-cooled racks.

VOLTANEUM positions this approach for proximity environments: technical offices, AI labs, studios, SMEs, edge computing, local sovereign cloud and HPC workloads inside existing buildings. Constraints do not disappear: heat rejection, electrical safety, insurance, fire compliance, drycooler and maintenance procedures must be handled from the design phase.

The VOLTANEUM dielectric fluid is presented as odorless and non-toxic, but these claims should be confirmed by the safety data sheet, technical documentation and compliance data for the fluid.

VOLTANEUM offers and capacity

  • Detailed offers should specify capacity, reserved power, cooling, metered electricity, setup, stock conditions and immersion-ready validation.

Key benefits

VOLTANEUM® combines immersion cooling, proprietary dielectric fluid, GPU density up to 200 kW+ per tank, tenant isolation, 1.03 target PUE, DCIM automation, 2D/3D monitoring and request/payment/provisioning workflows.

The VOLTANEUM® proprietary dielectric liquid provides non-conductive electrical insulation, stronger thermal stability, reduced exposure to dust, oxidation and vibration, and more predictable maintenance through fluid, filtration, acidity, moisture and dielectric strength monitoring.

The -40°C to 250°C range is indicated on VOLTANEUM® packaging. Quality control on the tested batch reports a -37°C pour point, a 196°C open flash point and observed dielectric breakdown voltage of 52 kV.

  • Electrical insulation for compatible immersion-ready equipment.
  • Direct heat transfer close to GPU, HPC and bare metal components.
  • Operational protection against dust, vibration and thermal stress.
  • Quality controls can cover fluid temperature, acidity, moisture, filtration and dielectric strength.

Frequently asked questions

What is VOLTANEUM immersion cooling?

VOLTANEUM immersion cooling cools servers directly in a non-conductive dielectric fluid to increase density, reduce airflow, lower noise and stabilize AI/HPC workloads.

Is VOLTANEUM suitable for HPC and GPU workloads?

Yes. The platform targets GPU clusters, intensive computing, inference, fine-tuning, dense storage and environments where classic air-cooled racks become limiting.

How does a datacenter colocation offer work?

The customer selects an offer, country and available datacenter, then pays the initial fees. After validation, the allocation is provisioned and visible in the DCIM portal.

Can I rent a bare metal server without renting a cabinet?

Yes. Dedicated physical server offers let customers rent a bare metal server with operating system selection, remote management access and customer monitoring.

What is an immersion cooling cabinet?

An immersion cooling cabinet is physical capacity in a dielectric bath, allowing a customer to rent a portion or a full cabinet for GPUs, ASICs, HPC or immersion-ready servers.

Can I bring my own hardware?

Yes, in BYOH mode, subject to technical validation. For immersion, the hardware must be dielectric-fluid compatible and validated before installation.
