Zettabyte and Chief Telecom Partner for Energy-Efficient AI Data Centers
Taipei, Monday, 28 October 2024.
Zettabyte collaborates with Chief Telecom to create sustainable AI computing solutions. The partnership focuses on optimizing energy usage and enhancing computational capabilities at Chief Telecom’s LY2 data center, setting new standards in AI efficiency and sustainability for Taiwan’s tech sector.
Innovative Cooling Technologies
At the heart of this collaboration is the groundbreaking implementation of liquid cooling technology, a first for Taiwan’s data centers. Liquid cooling is poised to revolutionize how energy is consumed in AI data centers by dramatically reducing the overhead associated with traditional air-cooled systems. As Johnny Liu, President of Chief Telecom, emphasized, this technology not only cuts costs but significantly lowers the environmental footprint of data center operations[1].
Enhanced GPU Efficiency with Zware Software
Zettabyte’s proprietary Zware GPU software is another cornerstone of this partnership. By enabling AI workloads across multiple GPUs, servers, and data centers, Zware improves operational efficiency and reduces costs. Chairman Kenneth Chung-Hou Tai noted that this alignment of performance with sustainability positions Zettabyte as a market leader in efficient AI data centers[1].
Strategic Hardware Collaboration with Wistron
To bolster its infrastructure, Zettabyte has joined forces with Wistron, a leader in GPU server manufacturing, to provide custom AI-optimized hardware solutions. This collaboration aims to integrate Wistron’s high-performance, energy-efficient configurations with Zettabyte’s liquid cooling technology at the LY2 facility, ensuring top-tier performance and efficiency[1].
Implications for Taiwan’s Tech Sector
This partnership not only advances Zettabyte’s ambitions but also strengthens Taiwan’s position in the global AI landscape. By expanding at LY2, Zettabyte supports Taiwan’s evolving AI infrastructure, which is critical for sectors ranging from semiconductors to smart cities. The initiative is expected to meet the growing demand for sustainable, high-performance AI solutions, reflecting a broader industry trend towards energy-efficient technologies[1].
Future Prospects and Industry Impact
As Zettabyte prepares to launch its advanced AI services in 2025, the company already reports a substantial waitlist of eager customers, highlighting the market’s trust in its innovative solutions. This partnership sets a precedent for future collaborations in the tech industry, emphasizing the importance of sustainability and efficiency in technological advancements. The integration of cutting-edge technologies at LY2 is a testament to the potential for AI solutions to be both powerful and environmentally conscious[1].
