Fujitsu and Supermicro Collaborate on Green AI Computing Tech

As the use of AI continues to grow, the demand for data center capacity is rising faster than what can be supplied. One of the biggest challenges faced is efficiently meeting the growing power consumption requirements. Liquid cooling technology innovation has positioned Supermicro as an industry leader in shipping liquid cooling systems today. A key focus moving forward will be the collaboration between Fujitsu and Supermicro to further develop rack-scale liquid cooling.

"Supermicro is collaborating with Fujitsu to deliver state-of-the-art servers and systems that are high performance, power efficient, and cost-optimized," said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. "These systems will be optimized to support a broad range of workloads in AI, HPC, cloud, and edge environments. The two companies will focus on green IT designs with energy-saving architectures, such as liquid cooling rack scale PnP, to minimize technology's environmental impact."

Fujitsu and Supermicro are set to combine their technical capabilities and world-class global reach to offer a market-leading server portfolio. Supermicro's Building Block approach to server design enables a wide range of servers to be quickly built and certified for specific workloads across AI/HPC and general-purpose computing domains in deployments from cloud data centers to edge applications.

Moreover, by integrating Fujitsu's cutting-edge "FUJITSU-MONAKA" processor, the two companies aim to achieve excellent performance and power efficiency while also focusing on high reliability, security, and ease of use with wide software compatibility. The processor is based on the Arm instruction set architecture, employing cutting-edge 2-nanometer technology and is expected to be delivered in 2027. This new technology applied to the FUJITSU-MONAKA is based on results obtained from a project subsidized by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).

The collaboration will extend to Fsas Technologies Inc., a Fujitsu subsidiary, which will provide AI platform-based generative AI solutions globally that combine Supermicro's GPU server products and implementation support services for data center operators and enterprises.

"The collaboration between Fujitsu and Supermicro is a groundbreaking initiative that will accelerate green computing innovation," said Vivek Mahajan, Corporate Vice President, CTO, and CPO, Fujitsu. "By combining our technologies, we will enable high-performance, energy-efficient AI system infrastructure, driving the evolution of AI and Digital Transformation (DX)."
