Options Technology (Options), the leading provider of financial services infrastructure, recently announced that it has entered into an agreement with ZutaCore, a leader in waterless, two-phase direct-to-chip liquid cooling, to enable deployment of high-density, liquid-cooled compute infrastructure across its global platform.
The agreement gives Options clients access to ZutaCore’s HyperCool technology, a waterless, two-phase direct-to-chip liquid cooling solution designed to support today’s highest-power processors. By keeping water out of the IT environment while enabling higher compute densities and improved efficiency, HyperCool helps organizations deploy next-generation infrastructure with greater reliability and operational simplicity.
As workload densities increase, liquid cooling is rapidly becoming a necessity – not just for AI, but increasingly across traditional financial services workloads including electronic trading, quantitative analytics, market data processing and real-time risk modelling. These applications are encountering the same power-density and thermal constraints that first emerged in AI environments, making advanced cooling an essential enabler of future compute infrastructure.
Options’ position as the leading provider of compute infrastructure for financial services will see it integrate and support ZutaCore’s waterless liquid-cooled technology as part of its broader product offering, giving clients a path to higher density deployments without compromising the reliability and performance financial markets demand.
“Compute density is increasing across every part of our clients’ technology stack, and the infrastructure that supports it has to keep pace,” said Danny Moore, President and CEO at Options. “Partnering with ZutaCore gives our clients access to a proven, waterless cooling technology that lets them deploy denser, more powerful compute without the operational and sustainability trade-offs that come with traditional cooling methods. This is about making sure financial services infrastructure is ready for what comes next, whether that’s AI or the next generation of traditional workloads.”
“As compute requirements continue to grow across AI and high-performance financial workloads, cooling architecture has become a critical enabler of infrastructure performance,” said Brian Lillie, President and Chief Revenue Officer at ZutaCore. “Our waterless, two-phase HyperCool technology enables organizations to deploy higher-density compute while keeping water out of the IT environment, helping financial institutions prepare for the next generation of AI, analytics and trading infrastructure without compromising reliability or efficiency.”
This announcement follows a series of recent developments for Options including a major AI deployment in Iceland, the appointment of Larry Leibowitz as Chairman of the Board, and the company’s recent acquisition of Crossvale.
