This Nvidia partner says it can cut data center energy use by 50% as AI boom strains power grid
Summary
The HyperCubes contain servers fitted with Nvidia processors which are submerged in a synthetic oil called polyalphaolefin that draws heat away more efficiently than air. The company said its platform reduces energy consumption by up to 50%, as compared to traditional air cooling technology typically used in data centers. In July, SMC announced a partnership with Deloitte in which it will provide access to Nvidias GPU computing infrastructure for the consultancys clients to build AI applications. Traditionally, data centers have large aisles to allow cooled air to circulate as overheating can lead to equipment failure and downtime. During Computex Taipei in June, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang championed the benefits of Supermicros direct liquid-cooling technology, which he said saves energy and lowers costs in AI data centers.
