Bycor has supplied DCM power modules to Dutch technology company HIRO's data centers, helping them maintain optimal power efficiency.

Vicor recently announced that HIRO has used Vicor's DCM power modules to build an energy-efficient EMDC (micro data center).

HIRO's EMDC is a hardware design that runs on 48V DC power distribution instead of 12V DC for highly compact and efficient power conversion. The reason for designing at such high voltages is to reduce I²R losses in the PDN (power delivery network).

In this system, Vicor's DCM power module provides 48V to 12V conversion, contributing to HIRO's solid-state, thermally efficient, compact and energy-efficient EMDC design.

Bycor offers world-leading volumetric power density with flexible cooling options, making this flexibility ideal for renewable energy applications.

Meanwhile, HIRO's small Edge Micro Data Center (EMDC) is a compact and highly scalable edge computing resource that can grow externally even in harsh environments.

Integrate any type or quantity of CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe®) media into any platform, from a 1.5kW shoebox to a 500kW containerized edge installation.

This fully solid-state and modular platform requires virtually no maintenance and consumes no energy for cooling.
