JOSE, Calif., June 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Supermicro, Inc. (NASDAQ:
SMCI), a Total IT Solution Provider for AI, Cloud, Storage, and
5G/Edge, continues to expand in Silicon Valley with new campuses as
the demand for liquid-cooled data center increases. The new
facilities will be part of the new liquid-cooled ecosystem,
reducing the time needed to deliver to customers worldwide. These
new facilities will focus on delivering entire plug-and-play
liquid-cooled solutions, from systems to racks to water towers.
With AI factories becoming more prevalent, liquid-cooled data
centers are critical to meet these increasing customer demands for
AI-focused workloads. Liquid-cooled data centers increase the
amount of AI compute performance per watt, resulting in more
performance per data center. In addition, electricity consumption
and environmental impact are reduced, and operational expenses can
be up to 40% lower compared to traditional, air-cooled data
centers.
"Supermicro has the highest performing generative deep learning
and inferencing AI platform and clusters which benefit from
liquid-cooled technologies," said Charles
Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. "Many data center
owners are looking for electricity saving Direct Liquid-Cooled
solutions. Supermicro is developing building block liquid-cooled
solutions for AI factories and the HPC market. We anticipate that
liquid-cooled data centers will grow from historically less than 1%
to an expected 15% and up to 30% of all data center installations
in the next two years. This expansion positions us to capture the
majority share of that growth. New data centers will run more
efficiently, reducing their carbon footprint, and can be virtually
free, compared to air-cooled data centers, with significant
operational savings realized through lower electricity use over
time."

"We are thrilled that Supermicro is expanding in San Jose and leading the charge to reduce the
impact of data centers," said Matt
Mahan, Mayor of San Jose,
CA. "Supermicro represents the best of Silicon Valley as a
company that continues to push the boundaries of both technology
and sustainability."
Supermicro, as a total solution provider, supplies all the
components needed for an efficient and optimized liquid-cooled
solution. From the Supermicro optimized cold plates to the coolant
distribution manifolds (CDMs) to the redundant coolant distribution
units (CDUs) and even the external cooling tower, the entire
end-to-end solution is designed and tested by Supermicro engineers,
which results in a higher quality solution, enabling organizations
to get more productive sooner.
Many Supermicro servers are explicitly designed for
high-performance NVIDIA GPUs for AI processing, such as the very
high-density 4U-8GPU systems, the Intel CPU-based
SYS-421GE-TNHR2-LCC, or the AMD CPU-based AS -4125GS-TNHR2-LCC. In
addition, many Supermicro servers, such as the popular 8U-8GPU
systems, are liquid-cooled ready, as well as NVIDIA-based 1U
ARS-111GL-NHR-LCC, which includes the Grace Hopper Superchip.
Liquid-cooled servers include the 8U-20-node SuperBlade®, which
provides the highest CPU and GPU computing density available today.
The 2U-4 node Supermicro BigTwin® and the 4U-8 node FatTwin®
multi-node servers are optimized for liquid cooling and are in high
volume production today.
Supermicro continues to work closely with data center operators
to match the right server technology to the demanding workloads,
which are unique to each organization and cloud service provider.
Many of these application-optimized servers are designed to be
liquid-cooled, which reduces the overall operational cost of the
data center.
Many customers have limited experience handling liquid inside
data centers, requiring vendors to perform the installation and
acceptance testing along with future maintenance and warranty
service. On-site support is critical, and Supermicro's service
organization is highly trained in liquid-cooling deployments.
