JOSE, Calif., May 15, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- Supermicro, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), a
Total IT Solution Provider for AI, Cloud, Storage, and 5G/Edge, is
announcing Data Center Building Block Solutions, the easiest
solution to overcome the immense complexities of outfitting liquid
cooled AI factories with all critical infrastructure components,
including servers, storage, networking, rack, liquid cooling,
software, services, and support. As an expansion of Supermicro's
System Building Block Solutions, DCBBS adopts a standardized, yet
flexible solution architecture, vastly expanded in scope to handle
the most demanding AI data center training and inference workloads,
enabling easier data center planning, buildout, and operation – all
while reducing cost.

"Supermicro's DCBBS enables clients to easily construct data
center infrastructure with the fastest time-to-market
and time-to-online advantage, deploying as quickly as three
months," said Charles Liang,
president and CEO of Supermicro. "With our total solution coverage,
including designing data center layouts and network topologies,
power and battery backup-units, DCBBS simplifies and accelerates AI
data center buildouts leading to reduced costs and improved
quality."

DCBBS offers packages of pre-validated data center-level
scalable units, including a 256-node AI Factory DCBBS scalable
unit, designed to alleviate the burden of prolonged data center
design by providing a streamlined package of floor plans, rack
elevations, bill of materials, and more. Supermicro provides
comprehensive first-party services to ensure project success,
starting from consultation to on-site deployment and continued
on-site support. DCBBS is customizable at the system-level, rack
cluster-level, and data center-level to meet virtually any project
requirements.
Along with our DLC-2 technology, DCBBS also helps customers
save up to 40% power, reducing 60% data center footprint, and
decreasing 40% water consumption, all of which leads to 20% lower
TCO.
AI Factory Data Center-Level Scalable Unit
The need for AI infrastructure continues to scale: AI training
clusters require clusters of thousands of GPUs to develop
foundation models. AI inference applications are also leveraging
more test-time compute capacity by running multiple inference
passes with a mixture of models to deliver greater intelligence.
Supermicro's AI Factory DCBBS package fully equips data centers to
tackle these rising AI computational requirements.
Solutions from Supermicro include up to 256 Liquid Cooled 4U
Supermicro NVIDIA HGX™ system nodes, each system
equipped with 8 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs (2,048 GPUs in total),
interconnected with up to 800Gb/s NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand or
NVIDIA Spectrum™ X Ethernet networking platform. The
compute fabric is supported by elastically scalable tiered storage
with high-performance PCIe Gen5 NVMe, TCO optimized Data Lake
nodes, and resilient management system nodes for continuous
uninterrupted operation.
System-Level, Rack-Level, and Data Center-Level
Customization
Supermicro features a modular building block approach, composed
of three hierarchical levels: the system-level, rack-level, and
data center level, giving customers unparalleled design options in
determining a system-level bill of materials, down to selecting
individual components, including CPUs, GPUs, DIMMs, drives, and
NICs. System-level customization ensures the ability to meet
specialized hardware requirements for a particular data center
workloads and applications and allows for granular fine-tuning of
data center resources.
Supermicro aids in designing rack enclosure elevation layouts to
ensure optimization for thermals and cabling, giving customers the
ability to select the type of rack enclosure, including 42U, 48U,
and 52U configurations.
After the initial consultation with the customer, Supermicro
delivers a project proposal tailored to a given data center power
budget, performance target, or other requirements.
Supermicro DLC-2
With liquid-cooled data centers growing from less than 1% of the
market to an expected 30% within a year, Supermicro is driving the
industry-wide adoption of DLC by helping customers achieve the
challenge of needing to build new liquid-cooled data centers that
can more efficiently remove heat.
DLC provides unmatched efficiency by capturing heat directly
from the individual chips, including AI GPUs running at 1000W TDP
and beyond. Liquid cooling infrastructure is planned and deployed
at data center scale, including the piping and facility-side liquid
cooling tower for heat dissipation. Supermicro leads the industry
in providing a total solution for direct-to-chip liquid cooling
infrastructure, consisting of DLC systems, in-rack or in-row
coolant distribution units, coolant distribution manifolds, cooling
towards, and more. Supermicro's DLC-2 brings further
improvements:
