Abstract

Disclosed is a method of communication between a plurality of liquid cooling modules of a cooling system for one or more one computer servers, in which: the cooling modules communicate with each other in a manner that operates in N+1 redundancy where N is greater than or equal to 2, so as to enable a standard replacement of any one of these cooling modules without stopping the cooling and without stopping the operation of the server or servers, this communication being ensured by a collaborative protocol without master/slave, before switching from an active mode where it is cooling to a backup mode where it is no longer cooling, the redundant cooling module verifying beforehand that a data set is consistent across all these cooling modules and that this consistency is maintained for a predetermined duration.
