Emerald Warrior 2015In the field, deployed computing systems are challenged with confined spaces, limited power and harsh environments including heat, cold, sand, and seawater. Last month, LiquidCool Solutions demonstrated its answer to all those challenges at Emerald Warrior 2015, a U.S. Special Operations Command-sponsored two-week joint / combined tactical exercise designed to provide realistic military training in an urban setting.Rochester, MN – As computer-use charges across the battlefield, LiquidCool Solutions challenged itself to develop a high-performance, ruggedized, fully functional computing system that significantly enhances combat capabilities. The LiquidCool Solutions team joined Emerald Warrior 2015 on April 29, 2015 to demonstrate its Explorer 8 (eight servers in a ruggedized and shock isolated case) and the LCS-RT Ruggedized Small Computer System.

The Explorer 8 is a modular, go-anywhere, high performance, high reliability compute solution that overcomes harsh environment operating challenges with improved reliability and productivity. Designed specifically for remote environments, using both the Intel Xeon processor and Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor, the Explorer 8 provides efficient energy usage and improved scalability through modular design that expands computational capacity quickly. This modular approach also offers significantly lower initial capital costs with incremental, just-in-time expansion capability.
The RT-P is a compact purpose built computing devise with a sealed enclosure ideal for harsh environment applications where other cooling methods fail. The rugged enclosure ensures waterproof I/O connectors, all electronics are protected from harsh environments, and it is fan-free for reliable, energy efficient and silent operation.
The RT operates in environments ranging from 15 to 110 degrees F and reduces power to cool at the device level by 98 percent.

“The essential advantages LCS cooled computing technologies provide the U.S. military cannot be overstated,” said Herb Zien, CEO, LiquidCool Solutions. “Where computing devices have given the U.S. military a degree of efficiency and effectiveness that has changed the way it operates at sea, in the air, and on the ground, LCS technologies will enable the military to perform with faster speed, greater reliability, and less risks than legacy technologies.”
LiquidCool’s participation at Emerald Warrior was to obtain feedback on its computing systems from military representatives from several branches of the armed forces, including IT specialists, who attended Emerald Warrior 2015 specifically to review its technology.
