3. AI server with guaranteed compatibility, stability and reliability

Foxconn developed an AI server based on NVIDIA H200 GPUs, optimised with ZutaCore’ s two-phase DLC technology. This AI server was able to exceed target performance figures in NVIDIA’ s certification test( NVQual), which determines the compatibility, stability and reliability of server systems.

4. Versatile and scalable rack for high-density placement of AI servers

SoftBank developed a rack designed to maximise cooling efficiency and improve operational efficiency with its two-phase DLC technology. In addition to being designed to be versatile and scalable for high-density placement of the latest AI servers, the rack has airflow for improved cooling efficiency and power supply. In addition, power supply and wiring are concentrated in the rear of the rack for operational safety and robotfriendly operation.

The rack is also compatible with 21- inch servers and conventional 19-inch servers compliant with the ORV3 standard, which is a specification set by the Open Compute Project( OCP), a non-profit organisation that promotes open-source hardware specifications and designs. The specifications are designed to be deployed in accordance with global standards.

Hironobu Tamba, Vice President and Head of the Data Platform Strategy Division at SoftBank Corp, said:“ As we work to develop one of the largest AI infrastructures in Japan and homegrown large-scale language models( LLMs), improving the energy efficiency of data centres is essential to accelerate AI development and realise a sustainable society.

“ The operational demonstration of this rack-integrated solution with optimised two-phase DLC technology has confirmed stable operation and improved energy efficiency of high-density GPU servers with liquid cooling. In the future, we will work on the practical application of this solution for use in AI data centres and AI factories to build a sustainable AI infrastructure and maximise computational efficiency.”

Erez Freibach, Co-founder and CEO at ZutaCore, said:“ ZutaCore is honoured to partner with global industry leaders SoftBank and Foxconn to introduce the world’ s first 2-phase DLC rack integration solution using NVIDIA accelerated computing for AI servers.

This groundbreaking collaboration highlights the transformative potential of our waterless DLC cooling technology to deliver unmatched efficiency while addressing the growing need for sustainable energy solutions. Together, we are not just meeting today’ s challenges but setting a new standard for energy-efficient innovation in next-generation AI data centres and factories, driving progress while safeguarding the planet.”

In a statement Foxconn said:“ Foxconn, as the world’ s largest AI server supplier, is delighted to join this collaboration and share our extensive experience in AI server development. We look forward to driving greater value for the global AI industry together.”

Future developments

SoftBank, ZutaCore and Foxconn will strengthen co-operation with AI server and rack design companies to improve the efficiency and low power consumption of AI data centres using NVIDIA accelerated computing, with a view to the commercialisation of this solution and its deployment in the global market. �
