Supermicro Unveils Advanced Liquid-Cooled and Air-Cooled Systems for AI Efficiency and Scalability
  • These DLC-2 systems not only achieve faster time-to-deployment but also provide substantial operational cost benefits, including reduced noise levels as low as 50dB.

  • The introduction of these systems supports future NVIDIA HGX B300 platforms, offering customers a compelling upgrade path and potential recurring revenue opportunities.

  • Charles Liang, CEO of Supermicro, emphasized the company's commitment to delivering tailored solutions quickly to meet customer needs in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

  • Supermicro has expanded its NVIDIA Blackwell system portfolio by introducing new 4U Direct Liquid-Cooled (DLC-2) systems and enhanced 8U air-cooled models, specifically designed to support large-scale AI training and cloud-scale inference workloads.

  • The new 4U DLC-2 system is optimized for efficiency, offering up to 40% data center power savings, a 40% reduction in water consumption, and up to 98% heat capture, which significantly enhances operational efficiency.

  • Supermicro's 8U air-cooled system is designed for environments without liquid cooling, offering flexibility in system memory configuration while maintaining high cooling performance.

  • The front I/O design of these systems simplifies deployment and management of AI infrastructure by relocating networking components and storage bays to the cold aisle, enhancing thermal efficiency.

  • Both systems are equipped with high-performance NVIDIA ConnectX-7 NICs and BlueField-3 DPUs, designed to support significant scalability and robust networking capabilities in AI data centers.

  • Both systems support dual-socket Intel Xeon 6700 Series processors and feature 32 DIMM slots with a maximum capacity of 8TB, along with 8 NVIDIA ConnectX-7 NICs and 2 NVIDIA Bluefield-3 DPUs, ensuring robust performance.

  • The 4U liquid-cooled system features front-accessible components and supports up to 180GB of HBM3e memory per GPU, while the 8U air-cooled system maintains similar specifications without requiring liquid cooling infrastructure.

  • The NVIDIA Blackwell platform provides significant performance improvements, delivering up to 15 times faster inference and three times faster training compared to previous generations of GPUs.

  • With these additions, Supermicro's portfolio now includes eight different Blackwell-based system configurations, showcasing their adaptability to diverse customer needs in the evolving AI infrastructure market.
