GENESIS OF THESOLUTION
2011 – 2016: the first drafts
Aware of the ecological pollution caused by data centers, Nicolas Boulinguiez took a close interest in a solution.
He then installed an extractor in his server room to expel the hot air. Later and in a different location, he will test the combination of an adiabatic cooling solution and free cooling. He will go even further by testing the immersion of a computer in a liquid solution.
These successful trials will be the first green edge data centre…
2016 – 2021 : the era of development
In order to be able to implement its full-scale solution, it was necessary to find a suitable container for the integration of several servers. A rectangular stainless steel milk tank for example…
The tank was adapted to accommodate the submerged servers by a team in the garage of one of the employees.
This was the first official prototype – and at the time it was already able to recover 60% of the energy, equivalent to the heat output of a pellet stove.
2021 – 2022: the first production
Designed by us from scratch, the first demonstration model went into production. It will not escape a new performance test in the laboratory with an incredible result following technical adjustments: 90% of the heat is now recoverable. Our solution will be officially named HYPERION and presented at the Viva Tech international trade fair under the very interested eyes of Constance Nebbula (vice-president of the new Regional Council of Pays de la Loire) and the European deputy Valérie Hayer who came to meet us directly.
since 2022: the rise of hyperion
The deployment of the solution intensifies, driven by the goal of quickly greening data centers on a large scale.
Our company is also following the movement by acquiring new premises to accommodate new team members, and of course, HYPERION, which heats the restrooms in these new offices!
