AI and real-time analytics are transforming industries and pushing compute closer to where data is generated. But factories, hospitals, retail locations, and remote sites were never designed for datacenter-class infrastructure. Traditional data center server racks are too loud, too hot, and demand cooling resources these environments simply don't have. The Iceotope KUL BOX is a breakthrough solution that changes those dynamics, enabling high-density performance and efficient thermal management for edge computing.
What is KUL BOX?
KUL BOX is a compact, 24U rack housing 6 Iceotope KUL AI liquid-cooled chassis. It integrates compute, cooling, networking, 6TB of memory, and 115TB of distributed storage into an easy-to-deploy solution compatible with almost any environment. KUL BOX only requires access to an external wall with no complex infrastructure upgrades required.
Why KUL BOX Matters
For telcos managing high-throughput, low-latency operations, laboratories handling sensitive and compute-heavy workloads, or manufacturing facilities requiring on-premise compute in extreme environments, KUL BOX delivers:
- AI-Optimized Performance: support for high-density GPU/CPUs that are liquid-cooled for consistent throughput and enterprise-class reliability.
- Energy Efficiency: Iceotope technology reduces the cost of cooling by 83% and the amount of water use by 96% compared to air-cooled servers. (1)
- Near Silent Operation: Fan-less liquid cooling that significantly reduces noise output to less than 40 dB (about the same as a quiet library).
- Scalable Architecture: Modular racks and cooling infrastructure built to grow with AI workloads.
- Operational Simplicity: KUL BOX operates on a standard 240v outlet in the US or 415v in the UK, Australia or New Zealand and requires no external water source.
A Complete, Turnkey Solution
Iceotope has teamed up with UNICOM Engineering, a subsidiary of UNICOM Global, to deliver a complete turnkey solution. UNICOM Engineering provides a fully integrated rack assembly—including servers, networking equipment, cooling systems, fluids, and pipework—all pre-installed and thoroughly tested before delivery. The partnership ensures end-to-end services, covering shipping logistics, on-site installation, and comprehensive training for a seamless handover to your operations team. Beyond deployment, customers benefit from a three-year comprehensive parts and service plan with dedicated support and warranty coverage and a single point of accountability throughout the entire lifecycle. KUL BOX is already transforming edge computing in sectors such as retail, healthcare, telecom, and manufacturing, enabling AI-driven insights, secure diagnostics, and reliable performance in environments where traditional infrastructure is not practical.
The Future of Edge Computing
The future is more powerful, more compact, whisper-quiet, and doesn’t require complex infrastructure. KUL BOX delivers breakthrough thermal efficiency and modular performance that fits into any location without upgrades. For more details on KUL BOX, visit https://www.iceotope.com/products/kul-box.
