CES 2025: Qarnot unveils sustainable HPC and AI innovations

The company’s solutions will be on display at Booth #60633 in Eureka Park located in Hall G at the Venetian Campus. The company is attending as part of the European Innovation Council’s (EIC) delegation.

Qarnot’s patented direct water-cooling technology captures up to 95% of the heat generated by servers, repurposing it locally to support heating networks, industrial sites, or swimming pools. This eliminates the need for the energy-intensive cooling systems traditional data centres rely on, significantly improving energy efficiency. By leveraging distributed clusters where heat is in demand, Qarnot enables a dual-purpose use of resources—computing power and heating.

“While competitors in the cloud computing space offer powerful HPC solutions, none combine performance and environmental responsibility in the same way that Qarnot does », said Qarnot CEO Paul Benoît. “Traditional data centers consume vast amounts of energy for cooling and power, contributing significantly to carbon emissions. In contrast, Qarnot’s distributed infrastructure and heat recovery technology turn this waste heat into a useful resource, creating a more sustainable, scalable, and cost-efficient solution.”

Cost efficiency and patented technology

Qarnot’s innovative approach to heat recovery and distributed infrastructure significantly lowers the operational costs of traditional data centers. By eliminating the need for cooling systems and minimising infrastructure requirements, Qarnot’s HPC cloud platform offers a 50% cost reduction compared to conventional cloud providers—all while maintaining high-performance standards. This unique combination of affordability, performance, and sustainability empowers businesses to access the computational resources they need without compromise.

At the heart of this solution is Qarnot’s cutting-edge QBx computing rack, designed for efficient heat reuse. Each QBx module integrates 12 professional HPC servers, delivering exceptional computational power while transforming waste heat into a valuable resource. This breakthrough technology ensures that businesses can meet their HPC needs sustainably, with reduced costs and minimised environmental impact.
