Supermicro launches industry first servers with liquid cooling
Supermicro , a total IT solution provider for cloud , AI / ML , storage and 5G / Edge , continues to expand its data centre offerings with liquid-cooled NVIDIA HGX H100 rack scale solutions . Advanced liquid cooling technologies , entirely from Supermicro , reduce the lead time for a complete installation , increase performance and result in lower operating expenses while significantly reducing the PUE of data centres .
Savings for a data centre are estimated to be 40 % for power when using Supermicro liquid cooling solutions compared to an air-cooled data centre . In addition , up to 86 % reduction in direct cooling costs compared to existing data centres may be realised .
“ Supermicro continues to lead the industry supporting the demanding needs of AI workloads and modern data centres worldwide ,” said Charles Liang , President and CEO of Supermicro . “ Our innovative GPU servers that use our liquid cooling technology significantly lower the power requirements of data centres . With the amount of power required to enable today ’ s rapidly evolving large-scale AI models , optimising TCO and the Total Cost to Environment ( TCE ) is crucial to data centre operators .”
AI-optimised racks with the latest Supermicro product families , including the Intel and AMD server product lines , can be quickly delivered from standard engineering templates or easily customised based on the user ’ s unique requirements .
Rack scale integrated solutions give customers the confidence and ability to plug the racks in , connect to the network and become more productive sooner than managing the technology themselves .
The liquid-cooled GPU server contains dual Intel or AMD CPUs and eight or four interconnected NVIDIA HGX H100 Tensor Core GPUs . Using liquid cooling reduces the power consumption of data centres by up to 40 %, resulting in lower operating costs . In addition , both systems significantly surpass the previous generation of NVIDIA HGX GPU-equipped systems , providing up to 30x performance and efficiency in today ’ s large transformer models with faster GPU- GPU interconnect speed and PCIe 5.0 based networking and storage .
Supermicro ’ s liquid cooling rack level solution includes a Coolant Distribution Unit ( CDU ) that provides up to 80kW of direct-to-chip ( D2C ) cooling for today ’ s highest TDP CPUs and GPUs for a wide range of Supermicro servers .
The redundant and hot-swappable power supply and liquid cooling pumps ensure that the servers will be continuously cooled , even with a power supply or pump failure . The leak-proof connectors give customers the added confidence of uninterrupted liquid cooling for all systems . � www . intelligentdatacentres . com
