Fusion PoD for AI

Introduction

 

The FusionPoD for Al rack-scale liquid-cooled server adopts the leading integrated cabinet design. It provides a 105 kW high-power centralized power supply system and eight nodes with each supporting eight GPUs. In addition, the cabinet uses the power supply and liquid cooling bus blind mating, 2N/N+N redundancy backup, and native liquid cooling, which achieves extreme energy efficiency and ultra-low PUE. The rack-scale liquid-cooled server supports automatic robot O&M and unmanned intelligent detection and O&M.
FusionPoD for Al features high computing, performance, energy efficiency, reliability, and bandwidth, integrated cabinet delivery, and simplified O&M. It is ideal for AI scenarios such as training and inference of large and super large models.
