Project HUPS – Introduction and history of WEDOS oil cooling

We have done a number of experiments with oil cooling servers. Some took literally a few minutes and  other times the whole project took several years to collect enough data for long-term operation. As a result of a series of experiments, our second datacenter will house all of the planned 10,800 physical servers cooled in oil baths using a giant cooling circuit. It includes a project to prove (proof of concept) that waste heat from oil cooling can be used to heat remote buildings. Of course, we don’t stop there, we still have the HUPS project 😉

When we addressed the pandemic plan for our company’s operations last month, we treated it more like a paper test to see how ready we were to go fully online. We took it with exaggeration and a certain amount of humour.

Last week we also had an ISO certification and it was discussed there as well, we wanted to know how well prepared we were and what to improve.
