Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has recently rolled out the industry’s first 100% fanless direct liquid cooling systems architecture to enhance the energy and cost efficiency of large-scale AI deployments. The company introduced the innovation at its AI Day, held for members of the financial community at one of its state-of-the-art AI systems manufacturing facilities. During the event, the company showcased its expertise and leadership in AI across enterprises, sovereign governments, service providers and model builders.
While efficiency has improved in next-generation accelerators, power consumption is continuing to intensify with AI adoption, outstripping traditional cooling techniques. Organizations running large AI workloads will need to do so more efficiently. The most effective way to cool next-generation AI systems is through direct liquid cooling, of which HPE is a pioneer. This critical cooling technology has enabled HPE’s systems to deliver 7 of the top 10 supercomputers on the Green500 list, which ranks the world’s most energy-efficient supercomputers.
Based on this expertise, HPE’s 100% fanless direct-liquid-cooling architecture brings the cost and energy efficiency benefits – sovereign AI deployments are already enjoying to a broader set of organizations building large-scale generative AI.
Commenting on the development, Antonio Neri, President and CEO, HPE, said, “This direct liquid cooling architecture yields 90% reduction in cooling power consumption as compared to traditional air-cooled systems.”
