HPC Data Centers
Run Cooler,
Cost Less.
A decision support tool that helps HPC operators choose and justify risky operational changes by making risk and trade-offs visible before acting — using the data they already have.
1,200 racks · 4.8 MW IT capacity · ASHRAE TC9.9
AI Workloads Are Overheating Data Centers
GPU clusters run hot, cooling overhead explodes, and operators fly blind — managing multi-million dollar infrastructure with spreadsheets and intuition alone.
Thermal Blind Spots
No unified view of rack-level thermal headroom. Risk is discovered only after something fails, throttles, or breaches ASHRAE A2 compliance limits at peak load.
Cooling Costs Spiralling
HVAC overhead averages 45–50% of total facility energy. Overprovisioning to stay safe burns budget that could fund infrastructure upgrades or hardware modernisation.
No Change Simulation
Engineers can't model the impact of a setpoint or cooling technology change before applying it. Every operational decision is a live experiment on production hardware.
Compliance Without Evidence
Audit trails, operator sign-offs, and decision rationale exist nowhere. EU EED and ASHRAE regulatory exposure grows with every undocumented infrastructure change.
Thermal Intelligence,
Operator-Grade
The HPC Decision Support Tool turns raw telemetry into actionable decisions. Operators analyse baseline performance, simulate changes, assess full system impact across six domains, and generate a compliant PDF decision brief — all in one structured workflow.
Screen 1 · Pre-Change Analysis — baseline PUE, COP, server inlet temperatures, rack utilisation, and energy breakdown benchmarked against ASHRAE, Green Grid & LBNL targets.
Everything an Operator Needs to Act With Confidence
Baseline Performance Analysis
12-month KPI trends — PUE, COP, inlet temperatures, WUE, rack utilisation — benchmarked against ASHRAE, Green Grid, and LBNL targets. Know exactly where you stand before any change.
What-If Scenario Matrix
Model any cooling technology — air, DLC, hybrid, immersion — across setpoint and utilisation parameters. Side-by-side scenario comparison before a single rack is touched.
Six-Domain Impact Assessment
Simultaneous evaluation across thermal management, energy efficiency, financial impact, water sustainability, operational stability, and regulatory compliance — all scored before committing.
Financial Business Case
CapEx, OpEx, annual savings, payback period, and 10-year net saving tied directly to the simulated change. Present a CFO-ready business case in minutes, not weeks.
Operator Decision Brief
Auto-generated PDF with executive summary, change rationale, KPI before/after, compliance status, and operator sign-off — an auditable decision trail from day one.
A Two-Phase Vision
A disciplined two-phase strategy that builds customer relationships now and converts them into hardware deployments later — de-risking adoption at every stage.
HPC Decision Support Tool
MVP in active testing with HPC operators. Building relationships, validating workflow adoption, and collecting the telemetry baseline required for hardware deployment.
Hardware Pilot Programme
Proprietary waste-heat harvesting modules deployed at validated customer sites. Tool relationships become the distribution channel — no cold sales required.
IP Portfolio & Licensing
Patent portfolio around novel thermoelectric energy recovery opens licensing revenue alongside direct hardware sales at scale.
Market Validation Checks
Proprietary Energy Recovery
Data centers dissipate an estimated 40–50% of consumed electricity as waste heat. OrionLinks is developing a novel approach to capture and convert microchip-level waste heat into recoverable electrical energy — a problem that has resisted conventional thermoelectric solutions at this scale.
Our research focuses on advanced materials science and precision thermal management at the chip interface, building toward a patentable hardware solution that can be retrofitted into existing HPC infrastructure without redesigning the facility.
- Chip-level thermal interface energy capture
- Advanced thermoelectric conversion materials
- Retrofit-compatible module design for existing racks
