The latest advancements in AI bring forward new infrastructure challenges, including higher power requirements and more effective thermal management. To meet the growing need for rapid deployment, customized performance, and fast time-to-online for data centers, Supermicro’s Data Center Building Block Solutions® (DCBBS) provides end-to-end solutions from system to rack to data center scale.

DCBBS enables enterprises to deploy a total data center-level solution. Built from an application-optimized portfolio of rack cluster building blocks, integrated with all necessary critical infrastructure components, including networking, power systems, liquid cooling, and more, DCBBS is an easy-to-build solution accelerating global-scale AI factory buildout.

System-Level Building Blocks

DCBBS starts at the system level, as its modular approach enables Supermicro to offer the industry’s widest portfolio of application-optimized servers. Supermicro offers an unprecedented level of customization and optimization, with the freedom to choose individual sub-components for superior fine-tuning of data center compute resources.

Rack-Level Building Blocks

Once systems are defined, they’re integrated into rack-level building blocks, designed and deployed into racks with optimized thermal management, power, and cabling. Networking is fully integrated, including for the GPU compute fabric, in-band, and out-of-band networks. Supermicro’s in-rack solutions deliver the necessary thermal management, networking fabric, power delivery, and resilience required for next-generation AI data centers, optimized for maximum rack density and operational efficiency. Scalable Units (SUs) of validated rack clusters enable seamless scaling to 256-nodes and beyond.

Supermicro DLC-2 and Industry-Leading Cooling Solutions

Supermicro is an industry leader when it comes to direct-to-chip liquid-cooling (DLC) technology. DCBBS provides a total solution for DLC infrastructure, consisting of DLC systems, DLC cold plates, in-rack or in-row cooling distribution units, cooling distribution manifolds, cooling towers, and more. With liquid cooling cold plates and systems able to remove up to 98% of heat from critical components, every system is optimized for maximum performance and efficiency from the ground up. At the row level, Supermicro’s In-Row CDUs deliver up to 1.8MW of cooling capacity across multiple racks, while liquid-to-air sidecars provide up to 200kW of standalone cooling with no external infrastructure modifications required. For site-level thermal management, Supermicro offers water cooling towers in scalable configurations and dry cooling towers that eliminate water consumption – all designed for easy installation and parallel expansion.

Global Services and Support

Supermicro Global Services delivers end-to-end expertise including data center design, solution validation, and professional on-site deployment. Supermicro delivers optimized cabling design and implementation with complete documentation to reduce time-to-online, material costs, and labor. This integrated approach reduces time-to-online and ensures higher-quality installations, backed by continued on-site support and 4-hour response time options for mission-critical uptime.

Software

DCBBS enables software integration for all types of AI applications, including AI training, AI inferencing, and more. Supermicro conducts software provisioning and validation based on the customer’s software stack.
