Density compresses the problems with heat and makes it even more difficult to drive high performance. Optimal cooling can help to overcome this challenge, enabling both high performance without overtaxing the data center. HP’s advanced cooling solutions enable the Apollo 6000 and 8000 to deliver outstanding HPC performance.
