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
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:
