The coolant is bio-degradable, sustainable and renewable and non-toxic for humans. This is a major difference from the incumbent fluid submersion technology that utilizes mineral oil derived from petroleum.

The company’s technology is aptly named Eco2 which is shorthand for economical and eco-friendly. Eco2 is a data center cooling technology based on fluid submersion. The company developed a state of the art coolant that is 1350 times more efficient than air cooling. Any OEM server, switch, router or firewall can be submersed in the coolant resulting in dramatic reductions in energy consumption and carbon footprint. Eco2 is capable of reducing the capital expenditure for new data centers by seventy percent and operating expenditures and carbon footprint of a data center by fifty percent. The coolant is bio-degradable, sustainable and renewable and non-toxic for humans. This is a major difference from the incumbent fluid submersion technology that utilizes mineral oil derived from petroleum. There are also retrofitting kits available by the company for existing data centers to convert to green data centers easily and economically.
Rajendra said that his company is committed to a five year global expansion plan in tandem with the International Data Corporation (IDC) report that 600,000 new data centres are forecasted be built in the next few years. “We are currently evaluating in which city our international headquarters will be based at. Most likely candidates are San Francisco and London. Interested data center operators are invited to partner with us to become product and service distributors as we have a very robust channel development program in place.”
