When you talk about exponential computational power, most conversations include NVIDIA, and their industry-leading family of GPU-related technology. When you talk about variable and high-density data center hosting and colocation, ScaleMatrix and their DDC™ enabled data centers are similarly synonymous.
This week, NVIDIA announced their DGX-Ready Data Center program aimed at relieving some of the challenges which accompany the deployment of high-density computing infrastructure in the data center. The program pairs NVIDIA clients looking to deploy DGX-1 and DGX-2 systems with data center partners who can support both the power and heat loads, between 30kW – 50kW today, as well as the cooling and airflow (CFM) requirements for these impressive server lines.
NVIDIA DGX Systems contain the power and performance to replace many times their number in traditional server hardware, but packaging all of that horsepower into a smaller form factor presents challenges for some enterprise data centers, which is precisely why the DGX-Ready Data Center program was developed, and why ScaleMatrix is an ideal partner for NVIDIA clients!
ScaleMatrix Data Centers, enabled by the revolutionary DDC cabinet technology, were built from the ground up to support the heavy compute requirements associated with today’s evolving technologies like AI, 5G, and IOT. In addition to supporting 52kW+ of thermal load in each cabinet, these facilities deliver clean-room quality environmental control and surgically precise cooling and airflow management, which help clients drive their infrastructure to its maximum capability without any concern for cooling or airflow.
ScaleMatrix’ enhanced data center design provides better return-on-investment for clients who host within ScaleMatrix sites across North America. Here’s why:
- Industry Leading Density & ScaleMatrix Data Centers
- DDC Cabinets Support 52kW+
- Exceptional density provides future proof protection
- Higher Density = Smaller, Less Expensive Footprint
