Dell To Sell Advanced Server Cooling Systems

Posted by kdawson on from the series-of-tubes dept.

Mitechsi writes "Dell has struck a deal with Emerson to sell advanced liquid cooling systems and services to data center owners. One type of supplemental cooling technology is called the Liebert XD. The XD consists of refrigerant-filled pipes that snake around the server racks in a data center. The liquid system cuts the cooling power load by about 30%–50% compared to other types of cooling systems."

      See here, please make it clear. Snakes, or ducks in a server room? And is it duck season, or is it wabbit season? And just what did Samuel L. Jackson mean by his cryptic remark, "No more m^$%&in wabbits in this m$#^%& server room!" And Dell Tech Support was no help. "We do not sell ducks, wabbits, snakes, or m$#^%& servers. However, we will sell you an extended warranty." I am so confused.

    George, aren't you supposed to be "idiotified" again by Vladimir Putin here in a few minutes? What are you doing posting on Slashdot?
