NVIDIA DGX-Ready Datacenter Program Partners with ScaleMatrix 

Jan. 30, 2019 -- This week, NVIDIA announced that ScaleMatrix was selected as part of 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 powerful 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.

ScaleMatrix Data Centers, enabled by the company’s proprietary 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 with the following features:

• Industry Leading Density & ScaleMatrix Data Centers
  • DDC Cabinets Support 52kW+
    • Exceptional density provides future proof protection
  • Higher Density = Smaller, Less Expensive Footprint
    • Cable runs, TOR switching, and fabric costs lower for customer (OpEx)
  • 100% air cooled design requires no customization or change to hosted hardware
• Surgical Temperature and Airflow Control
  • Guaranteed Temperature Management and Airflow Supply
    • Ensures maximum server performance around-the-clock
  • Consistent Supply Temperature (less than 2 degree variation)
    • Helps extend CPU and GPU lifetime
• Clean Room Quality Environmental Control
  • Servers stay clean with no dust or debris buildup, extending hardware lifetime
• Ultra-Efficiency Design Lowers Overall Cost
  • Low utility rate in a variety of geographic regions
  • Low PUE design helps reduce overall cost (1.15 – 1.20 target PUE)
• Unmatched Security
  • Cabinet-level biometric security provides the ultimate in protection and compliance support
• Enhanced Remote Hands Support
  • More than just Rack & Stack support, ScaleMatrix cloud and professional services teams provide white-glove support, 24/7/365
