Iceotope Our Progress & VisionAn Afternoon With Iceotope20th January 2015 – Peter Hopton Founder and Chief Visionary Officer

Who Are Iceotope?

• British Company based in Sheffield, UK• Backed By:• Schneider Electric• Solvay Specialist Plastics

• Additional partnerships with:• Intel• 3M

Progress So FarOur History• 2005 – Technology Invented• 2007 – First VC Investment• 2010 – First Customer Deployed Prototype (1 Week)• 2011 – New Investors• 2012 – First Pre-Production Deployment @ Leeds• 2013 – Pre-Production Deployments @ Poznan (PSNC) and

Huddersfield• 2014 – 4 More Pre-Production Machines Made• 2014 – November 19th PetaGen Announced• 2015 – PetaGen Deployments

Machines Currently Deployed8 Machines, 16 Deployments and Counting.• 4 Pre-Production Systems Running on Customer Sites• 3 in production use• Leeds, PSNC “moved from experimental - use on your own risk, to production

use”• >10,000,000 CPUCore Hours of Use

• 3 Pre-Production “Eval Units” have deployed 8 times, successfully operating in the UK, Europe and the USA

• Unrivalled Energy Efficiency Reported• “the most effective machine in PSNC, it delivers more than twice the performance

per Watt in our production environment comparing to other machines.”• 1x 72 Blade PetaGen System Deployed in Sheffield @ Iceotope HQ.

Real World Results

• Cooling Overhead (internal): as low as 0.33%• Cooling Overhead (external): 1.7% - 4% (pPUE 1.017-1.04

@30KW/cab)• Poznan National Supercomputing Centre indicated 1.7% (2% overall)

average• Romonet indicated 4% cooling overhead in 2N model in Houston Texas

• IT Energy Reduction vs Fan Cooled: 8%• Based on measurements at Leeds University (Chi et Al 2013)

• Overall performance per watt benefit vs equivalent servers in a high density, close coupled cooling environment: 40.8%• Based on studies at Leeds University (Chi et Al 2013)

Our Ethos: The Elimination Of Waste

1. Waste infrastructure required to support servers2. Waste power consumed in supporting the

electronics – and running the same electronics with greater speed and efficiency

3. Waste product – producing a viable waste product in the form of hot water

Air Conditioners

IT Cabinets AKA “Racks”Each contains 10-20 Servers

Raised Floor

Back Up Batteries AKA “UPS” Generators

External Coolers

Power Distribution

1. TLC needs no A/C

3.TLC servers have no fans – use less power

2. No Airflow, no raised floor

4. No A/C, average and peak power consumption reduced

Iceotope’s Vision

PetaGen Blades (Common Blade Ecosystem)

The Iceotope Blade, is sealed, electronics are immersed

Exotic CoolantHigh Thermal Expansivity

Electrical Insulator

Certified non-flammableNon Ozone depleting

Clean & Safe

PetaGen – 72 Blade Cabinet

• Standard 800mmx1200mm footprint• Takes 72 Iceotope Blades• Zero Airflow• Deploy in “grey space” not “white space”• Just add (hot) coolant loop and power• Liquid Cooled 415V-48V Power Supplies• Fully redundant at 30kW• Maximum Capacity 60kW
