An energy crisis and a supply chain crisis are two major crises that the IT world is experiencing. When dealing with older computer hardware, satisfying new climate friendly energy budgets is presenting a challenge. Hardware is running up against efficiency limits and the acquisition of improved, less power-suck machines is becoming harder because of shipping delays.
Samodurova co-founded Incooling because she wanted to solve the dual crises. Incooling designed a custom-built server with a proprietary cooling system that it claims will allow the server to achieve high efficiency standards.
"Our own design and cooling allows for unleashing the full potential of today's technologies which otherwise are not met due to heat and space constraints" We are able to increase the performance on scaleable and non-scaleable tasks by speeding the existing hardware and saving energy.
Incooling's tech was developed with the help of Samodurova and Verweij. The two met at the High Tech Campus, a tech center and R&D hub on the southern edge of the Dutch city of Eindhoven, during a Hackathon.
Samodurova and Verweij designed prototype server hardware after working together at HighTechXL. Samodurova claims that their server can reach some of the fastest processor speeds of any server on the market by using a two-phase cooling system.

The cooling design and control is the secret sauce of In cooling. Samodurova says the system is able to respond quickly to fluctuations in heat loads. We don't have direct competition as we enter a new market. While cooling companies only focus on cooling and server manufacturers only on the end server, we take the best from both worlds and combine it in the ultimate custom solution where every major component is specifically designed to perform at their designed maximum capacity and that way enhance the end result above the current market benchmark.
In cooling's mission is important. It is estimated that data centers consume 3% of the global electric supply and account for 2% of total greenhouse gas emissions. The demand for compute to drive artificial intelligence-powered applications and accommodate the growing public cloud threatens to derail progress.
It is early days for the company, which is in the midst of raising capital, but Samodurova was unwilling to reveal much about how Incooling managed its server efficiency improvements. She said the cooling system uses phase- change cooling, a technique that can provide a more reliable way to cool electronics.
The point at which a cooling fluid transitions from a liquid phase to a gaseous one is called a phase- change cooling. At the point when the fluid becomes less dense, it goes to the cooler part of the system. As the heat is dissipated, the gas transitions into a liquid and returns to the heat source.
Reducing energy usage is one of the benefits of phase- change cooling. The system doesn't need a constant supply of electricity to cool components. It is less prone to mechanical failure due to it not containing moving parts.
It isn't a new technology. The Mi 11 Ultra has phase- change cooling. Microsoft is experimenting with a two-phase cooling system on the banks of the Columbia River that uses steel holding tanks to submerge the server below the water.

Rival startup are using phase change cooling. Techs can swap hardware components while the system is operational with the help of Submer Immersion cooling. ZutaCore has a processor cooling technology.
Samodurova claims that Incooling is growing fast as it prepares to mass-produce its server next year. She wouldn't answer questions about potential customers or projected revenue but she did say that one of Incooling's prototypes has been in a data center for over a year.
The R161 Series, G-Series, and H-Series server platforms are the testbeds for Incooling's tech. Up to 10% increase in boost clock-speed and 200 Watts lower power draw can be achieved with an up to 20 degrees Celsius lower processor core temperatures.
The Pandemic showed how reliant we are on technology. The gap between the demand for compute and the existing solutions was bridged thanks to Incooling.
