Testing Liquid Cooling for Azure Data Centers, Microsoft Says It's Not Ready to Dive In

The potential for cost savings in switching to liquid from air as the more efficient cooling medium can be huge when you operate as many data centers around the world as Microsoft Azure does. But that’s not the primary reason that’s been driving recent experimentation with all the different approaches to liquid cooling by Microsoft engineers. The trajectory server chips are on today puts their power density well beyond what an air-based cooling system can do in just a few years.
