Supermicro announces manufacturing support for NVIDIA's upcoming Vera Rubin and HGX Rubin accelerators with expanded liquid-cooling capacity.
Supermicro, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) announced expansions in manufacturing capacity and liquid-cooling capabilities in collaboration with NVIDIA to enable first-to-market delivery of data center-scale solutions optimized for the NVIDIA Vera Rubin and Rubin platforms. The company is uniquely positioned to rapidly deploy the flagship NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 and NVIDIA HGX Rubin NVL8 systems. Supermicro's Data Center Building Block Solutions (DCBBS) approach delivers streamlined production, extensive customization options, and faster time-to-deployment. According to Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro, "Supermicro's long-standing partnership with NVIDIA and our agile building block solutions enable us to bring the most advanced AI platforms to market faster than others."
The NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform benefits from newly announced NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet Photonics networking, built on the Spectrum-6 Ethernet ASIC with 102.4 Tb/s switching on TSMC 3nm technology featuring 200G SerDes co-packaged optics and fully shared buffers. This delivers 5x power efficiency, 10x reliability, and 5x application uptime compared to traditional pluggable optics. Available models include the liquid-cooled SN6800 offering 409.6 Tb/s CPO with 512x 800G ports, the SN6810 providing 102.4 Tb/s CPO with 128x 800G ports, and the SN6600 with pluggable configuration supporting 128x 800G ports in both air and liquid-cooled versions.
Complementing the networking infrastructure are Supermicro-based storage solutions utilizing the Petascale all-flash storage server and JBOF system supporting the NVIDIA BlueField-4 DPU running a variety of data management solutions. Supermicro's strategic investments in expanded manufacturing facilities and a comprehensive end-to-end liquid-cooling technology stack are purpose-built to streamline production and deployment of fully liquid-cooled NVIDIA Vera Rubin and Rubin platforms. Combined with the modular DCBBS architecture, these capabilities accelerate deployment and time-to-online by enabling rapid configuration, rigorous validation, and seamless scaling of high-density platforms.
