FREMONT, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2024 / ASUS today announced its next-generation infrastructure solutions at SC24, unveiling an extensive server lineup and advanced cooling solutions, all designed to propel the future of AI. The product showcase will reveal how ASUS is working with NVIDIA® and Ubitus/Ubilink to prove the immense computational power of supercomputers, using AI-powered avatar and robot demonstrations that leverage the newly inaugurated data center. It is Taiwan’s largest supercomputing facility, constructed by ASUS, and is also notable for offering flexible green-energy options to customers that desire them. As a total solution provider with a proven track record in pioneering AI supercomputing, ASUS continuously drives maximized value for customers.
Comprehensive AI Server Lineup for All Workloads
To fuel digital transformation in enterprise through high-performance computing (HPC) and AI-driven architecture, ASUS provides a full lineup of server systems – ready for every scenario. ASUS AI POD, a complete rack solution equipped with NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 platform, integrates GPUs, CPUs and switches in seamless, high-speed direct communication, enhancing the training of trillion-parameter LLMs and enabling real-time inference. It features the NVIDIA GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip and fifth-generation NVIDIA NVLink technology while offering both liquid-to-air and liquid-to-liquid cooling options to maximize AI computing performance.
ASUS will also be showcasing ESC8000A-E13P, an HPC server that’s fully compliant with NVIDIA MGX modular architecture and able to deploy quickly at a large scale. It offers high-density GPUs for diverse applications and supports up to eight NVIDIA H200 NVL dual-slot cards of 600 watts each. ESC8000A-E13P also benefits from an optimized server configuration, with five PCIe® 5.0 slots for high-bandwidth NVIDIA ConnectX and NVIDIA BlueField SuperNICs to enhance east-west traffic and NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs for line-rate processing of software-defined networking, storage, and cybersecurity.
For generative AI applications, ASUS also provides a range of advanced solutions, including ESC N8-E11V with the NVIDIA HGX H200 platform and ESC N8A-E13 with the latest NVIDIA Blackwell platform. These systems are designed to offer scalable performance for a diverse array of AI workloads and applications.
Advanced Cooling Solutions and Services
A significant portion of power consumption of the data center is dedicated to managing and dissipating heat. Effectively reducing PUE and maximizing power savings has been the mission for every data center infrastructure. ASUS partners with global cooling solution providers to offer consultant services and adaptive cooling solutions that can accommodate to diverse scenarios and demands.
ASUS solutions optimize cooling efficiency from the single-cabinet ASUS AI POD with NVIDIA GB200 NVL72, through the entire data center and finally to cooling-water towers, offering the choice of either liquid-to-air with sidecar or liquid-to-liquid with in-row coolant-distribution unit (CDU) cooling solutions, effectively achieving up to 95% heat dissipation.
To ensure each server performs optimally in real-world environments, ASUS not only considers the thermal design but offers essential verification and acceptance services for the complete software stack. This process includes rigorous checks of power, network, GPU cards, voltage and temperature to ensure smooth operation. Comprehensive testing resolves issues before handover, ensuring reliable data center performance under full load.
ASUS and Ubilink: Building a Supercomputing Center in Taiwan With Green-Energy Options
ASUS has finished the construction of a global top-tier supercomputing center in collaboration with Ubilink – a company created by Foxlink, Ubitus and Shinfox Energy. This world-class data center is also remarkable for handing customers the freedom to choose packages that draw only on renewable energy. This groundbreaking achievement was realized in just three months, featuring an impressive performance capacity of 45.82 PFLOPS. The center will offer public cloud services, AI computing rentals and subscription-based cloud services.
This achievement underscores the ASUS commitment to delivering high-performance infrastructure and innovative cooling solutions for clients worldwide. ASUS offers a comprehensive range of AI solutions from GPU servers to integrated racks and will keep working with its partners to offer advanced software platforms and customized solutions for all workloads to empower clients to stay ahead in the AI race.
