In the ever-evolving landscape of data center technology, Edgecore Networks is proud to participate in a groundbreaking proof of concept (POC) that integrates Submer‘s immersion cooling technology at Stellium Data Centers. This collaboration, guided by the principles of the Open Compute Project (OCP), marks a significant milestone in our commitment to sustainability and innovation.

A Strategic Partnership for Enhanced Performance

The collaboration between Submer, Stellium Data Centers, Circle B, and Edgecore Networks is a testament to the power of strategic partnerships. By combining our expertise, we aim to redefine the standards for data center efficiency and reliability. This POC showcases the integration of Submer’s cutting-edge immersion cooling technology with Stellium’s state-of-the-art data infrastructure, powered by AMD CPUs and server components provided by Circle B, and network switches by Edgecore.

“Submer is proud to partner with Edgecore Networks as we look to continue with our mission of providing the industry with innovative, cost-efficient, sustainable solutions. Edgecore has a long-standing history of offering the most relevant network solutions to its customers and partners, so we’re delighted to have them on board as part of our immersion ecosystem. The PoC available now at Stellium DC, Newcastle – will benefit all of those involved to have better and easier access to a real use case scenario for single-phase immersion technology in data centers.” Said Oriol Chavanel, Ecosystem Tech Lead & OCP Lead at Submer.

Edgecore’s Role in the Collaboration

As key contributor to OCP network hardware, Edgecore Networks is dedicated to providing sustainable and efficient networking solutions. Our contribution to this POC includes the deployment of our immersion-cooling-capable ORv3 network switches. These switches are designed to operate seamlessly within Submer’s immersion cooling environment, ensuring optimal performance and energy efficiency.

“We are thrilled to embark on this collaborative journey with Submer for the PoC at Stellium Data Center. As part of this strategic collaboration, Edgecore is proud to contribute our immersion-cooling-capable switch to the data center infrastructure. This collaboration exemplifies our dedication to providing sustainable and efficient networking switches based on the latest immersion cooling technology that aligns with industry best practices,” said Nanda Ravindran, VP of Technical Sales at Edgecore Networks.

The Future of Data Center Technology

This POC showcases the latest technology and sets a new standard for the future of new data centers. Edgecore Networks remains committed to innovation and sustainability. We believe that this collaboration is a significant step towards achieving our vision of a greener, more efficient future for data centers worldwide.

The immersion cooling solutions will also be showcased at the OCP EMEA Summit in Dublin, Ireland, April 29-30, 2025.
