ASUS unveils liquid-cooled AI POD containing NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 servers in rack configuration.

At SC24, ASUS unveiled next-generation infrastructure solutions developed in collaboration with NVIDIA and Ubitus/Ubilink to demonstrate "the immense computational power of supercomputers, using AI-powered avatar and robot demonstrations that leverage the newly-inaugurated data center." The company showcased its commitment to enabling digital transformation in enterprise through high-performance computing (HPC) and AI-driven architecture with a comprehensive suite of server systems designed for every scenario.

The flagship offering is the ASUS AI POD, a complete rack solution powered by the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 AI server platform. The system 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.

Complementing this flagship product, ASUS is showcasing additional solutions including the ESC8000A-E13P, an HPC server fully compliant with NVIDIA MGX modular architecture that supports up to eight NVIDIA H200 NVL dual-slot cards of 600 watts each, with five PCIe 5.0 slots for high-bandwidth NVIDIA ConnectX and NVIDIA BlueField SuperNICs to enhance east-west traffic. For generative AI applications, ASUS provides the ESC N8-E11V with the NVIDIA HGX H200 platform and ESC N8A-E13 with the latest NVIDIA Blackwell platform. A significant focus is advanced cooling solutions, optimized from the single-cabinet ASUS AI POD through entire data centers, effectively achieving up to 95% heat dissipation through either liquid-to-air with sidecar or liquid-to-liquid with in-row coolant-distribution unit solutions.

ASUS has completed construction of a global top-tier supercomputing center in collaboration with Ubilink—a company created by Foxlink, Ubitus, and Shinfox Energy—in just three months, achieving an impressive performance capacity of 45.82 PFLOPS. This world-class data center is notable for offering customers packages that draw exclusively on renewable energy and will provide public cloud services, AI computing rentals, and subscription-based cloud services.

This achievement underscores ASUS's commitment to delivering high-performance infrastructure and innovative cooling solutions for clients worldwide, ensuring that AI infrastructure solutions offer scalable adaptability and seamless alignment with evolving AI requirements for long-term success.
