USA: Energy and chemical company ExxonMobil and IT company Intel are to collaborate to bring data centre immersion cooling solutions to market. 

Via a multi-year collaboration, ExxonMobil and Intel say they will work together to develop and certify next-generation, energy-efficient, liquid-based cooling technologies for Intel’s Xeon technology.
