Supermicro is expanding with new liquid-cooled data center campuses in Silicon Valley. The IT company wants to respond to increasing demand and ride the AI ​​wave.

US IT company Supermicro announces the opening of new campuses as demand for liquid-cooled data centers increases. The facilities will be part of the new liquid-cooled ecosystem and will shorten the time to delivery to customers around the world. With this, Supermicro aims to meet the increasing demand for liquid-cooled data centers, which is mainly due to the AI ​​craze.

Rising demand

More and more companies are turning to AI, which means more powerful, multi-system systems are required Hot running GPUs. Supermicro plans to meet this demand by opening three new liquid-cooled data centers in Silicon Valley. The company will focus on providing plug-and-play installations for customers.

“We expect liquid-cooled data centers to grow from historically less than 1% to an expected 15% and up to 30% of all data center installations over the next two years,” said Charles Liang, President and CEO of Supermicro.

Environmental aspect

In addition to the AI ​​hype, the environmental aspect also plays an important role. Power consumption and environmental impact are reduced and operating costs can be reduced by up to 40 percent compared to conventional, air-cooled data centers.

“Many data center owners are looking for power-efficient direct liquid-cooled (DLC) solutions,” said Liang. “Supermicro is developing liquid-cooled building block solutions for AI factories and the HPC market.”
