5.4 Provide descriptions/names of your solutions:*

PeaSoup provides UK cloud infrastructure services designed to reduce the energy and resource intensity associated with conventional data-centre computing. Our platform uses liquid immersion cooling, removing the need for server fans and reducing cooling overhead. PeaSoup's comparative testing demonstrated approximately 22% lower direct server power consumption using immersion cooling. We also extend hardware lifecycles, reduce cooling infrastructure requirements and operate a highly virtualised shared cloud platform. These efficiencies are delivered directly through our IaaS, DRaaS, BaaS and S3 object-storage services.

5.5 How did you assess whether these are climate solutions?*

Using our own internal method (please describe)

5.5.1 Has any third party validated this?*

5.5.2 Specify any additional details*

PeaSoup has assessed the solution using operational experience and comparative testing of conventional air-cooled and liquid-immersion server operation. Controlled testing demonstrated approximately 22% lower direct server power consumption when operated under immersion, primarily through removal of server fan power and improved thermal operation. Our wider approach also includes reduced cooling overhead, high levels of virtualisation, extending server hardware lifecycles and responsible reuse and recycling. We have not claimed a 50% whole-service carbon reduction because this has not yet been independently demonstrated against a market-weighted industry baseline.
