“Supermicro is thrilled to partner with Fujitsu to deliver next-generation servers and solutions that are high-performance, energy-efficient, and cost-effective,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. “These systems will be optimized to support a wide range of workloads across AI, HPC, cloud, and edge environments.” The two companies will focus on green IT designs with energy-saving architectures, such as rack-scale liquid-cooled plug-and-play, to minimize the technology’s environmental impact.
As AI usage continues to grow, data center capacity demand is increasing faster than supply, and one of the biggest challenges is efficiently meeting the growing energy consumption requirements. Innovation in liquid cooling technology has already positioned Supermicro as an industry leader in shipping liquid cooling solutions. A key focus will be combining the expertise of Fujitsu and Supermicro to further develop rack-scale liquid cooling solutions.
Fujitsu and Supermicro will combine their world-class technical capabilities and global reach to deliver a market-leading server portfolio. Supermicro's Building Block approach to server design enables the rapid construction and certification of a wide range of servers for specific workloads across AI/HPC and general-purpose computing domains in deployments from cloud data centers to edge applications.
Furthermore, by integrating Fujitsu's cutting-edge "FUJITSU-MONAKA" processor, the two companies will achieve outstanding performance and energy efficiency while pursuing high reliability, security, and ease of use with broad software compatibility, thus enabling customers to deploy a green AI infrastructure. FUJITSU-MONAKA is a processor based on the Arm instruction set architecture, employing state-of-the-art 2-nanometer technology, and is scheduled for delivery in 2027. This new technology applied to FUJITSU-MONAKA is based on the results obtained in a project funded by the New Energy and Industrial Technologies Development Organization (NEDO).
The collaboration will also extend to Fsas Technologies Inc., a subsidiary of Fujitsu, which will provide global generative AI solutions based on AI platforms that combine Supermicro's GPU server products and deployment support services for data center operators and enterprises.
“The collaboration between Fujitsu and Supermicro is a pioneering initiative that will accelerate innovation in green computing,” said Vivek Mahajan, Corporate Vice President, CTO and CPO of Fujitsu. “By combining our technologies, we will enable a high-performance, energy-efficient AI systems infrastructure, driving the evolution of AI and Digital Transformation (DX).”.
