OCP Experience Center (Lulea, Sweden) - Hosted by Research Institute of Sweden (RISE)
ICE Data center (Infrastructure and Cloud research & test Environment) is a testbed focusing on digitalization and IT infrastructure.
The center coordinates national research projects as well as the testing and development of all features in the technology stack; the infrastructure and building of data centers, edge and cloud applications, IT architecture and machine learning.
Example Projects
- Comparison of different cooling solutions
- Measurement of hardware wear depending on load
- Testing of new disruptive IT-architecture
- Data center automation testing
- Airflow testing for different set-ups
- The data center as in integrated part of the energy system
- Power quality effects on the data center operation
- Waste heat reuse in industry application e.g. wood drying, pre-heating
- Data center as a micro-grid
- District heating and data center operation
The environmental setup we provide for this type of testing is a spacious and flexible pod with quick couplings for all infrastructures, creating a unique flexibility for facility testing. The pod contains:
- Floor solution to be able to switch between raised floor and slab
- Possibility to switch between liquid and free air cooling
- Easily reached IT infrastructure
- Possibility to exchange IT racks traditional and OCP
