SAN JOSE, Calif., March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), a Total IT Solution Provider for Cloud Computing, AI/ML, Storage, and 5G/Edge, today unveiled its upcoming system portfolio powered by the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform. As data centers transform into AI factories, producing intelligence at massive scale, agentic reasoning, long-context AI, and Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) workloads are driving demand for an entirely new class of compute and storage infrastructure. Supermicro's NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72, NVIDIA HGX Rubin NVL8, NVIDIA Vera CPU systems are being designed and built with Supermicro's Data Center Building Block Solutions (DCBBS) advanced liquid-cooling technology stack to accelerate time-to-market for customers.
"We are entering a new era where every organization requires an AI factory to win in the marketplace, as the demand for inference workloads is reshaping what data center infrastructure must deliver," said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. "Supermicro's DCBBS technology stack is being engineered to empower upcoming NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72, HGX Rubin NVL8, and Vera CPU systems to give our customers a fast, clear path to deploying next-generation AI factories, at scale. We are excited to provide an early look at these solutions as a testament to being first to market with the infrastructure that will power the next frontier of AI."

Supermicro DCBBS for NVIDIA Vera Rubin and Rubin Platforms
Delivering AI factory performance at scale requires much more than just compute — It demands power, cooling, and networking infrastructure that performs seamlessly. Supermicro's modular DCBBS approach enables data center operators to deploy validated, pre-engineered rack solutions rather than custom-building infrastructure for each project — reducing time-to-online, minimizing integration risk, and lowering total cost of ownership across AI factory deployments of any scale.
Supermicro's DCBBS are engineered specifically to meet the evolving thermal, power, and networking demands needed to enable rapid and robust deployment of upcoming NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72, NVIDIA HGX Rubin, and NVIDIA Vera CPU infrastructure. To meet the needs of Vera Rubin platforms, which will be fully liquid-cooled from this generation forward, DCBBS includes a full suite of validated liquid-cooling infrastructure. This expansion includes in-rack and in-row components such as coolant distribution units (CDUs), manifolds, and liquid-to-air sidecar. Also included are infrastructure solutions such as cooling towers and cabling design and implementation services — designed to integrate seamlessly with Supermicro's next-generation system portfolio.
Supermicro NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 SuperCluster
Supermicro is engineering its NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 with new DCBBS liquid-cooling components to fully support the power and thermal envelope at rack and cluster scale. This includes the manufacturing of optimized NVIDIA MGX racks, in-rack or in-row CDU, RDHx and L2A sidecar to streamline production and deployment of the rack-scale AI supercomputer at scale. The Vera Rubin NVL72 operates as a single rack-scale accelerator, unifying six co-designed chips — Rubin GPU, Vera CPU, NVIDIA NVLink 6, NVIDIA ConnectX-9 SuperNIC, NVIDIA BlueField-4 DPU, and NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet — to deliver up to 3.6 Exaflops of inference, 75TB of fast memory, and 1.6 PB/s of HBM4 bandwidth, targeting up to 10x the throughput per watt and one-tenth the token cost compared to NVIDIA Blackwell.
NVIDIA HGX Rubin NVL8 System
The 2U HGX Rubin NVL8 system provides the densest and most flexible HGX platform — and the first HGX platform to offer greater flexibility in CPU selections including NVIDIA Vera CPUs alongside next-generation AMD and Intel x86 processors. Built on the NVIDIA MGX rack architecture with Supermicro's blind mate busbar and manifold for tool-free rack integration, it gives customers the freedom to pair eight Rubin GPUs with the CPU platform that best fits their workload and software stack.
The design supports 9 HGX Rubin NVL8 systems per rack — up to 72 Rubin GPUs total — for large-scale AI training, inference, and accelerated HPC. DCBBS provides in-rack CDU, in-row CDU, RDHx and an optional Liquid-to-air (L2A) sidecar for customers deploying in liquid-cooled or air-cooled data center environments.
NVIDIA Vera CPU System with RTX PRO
Supermicro's Vera CPU next-generation agentic AI system is being engineered as a versatile AI compute node for organizations targeting next-generation agentic AI deployments. The system features dual NVIDIA Vera CPUs supporting up to 6 RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs in a compact 2U chassis — delivering the compute density and energy efficiency that enterprise AI inference, agentic workloads, visualization, and adding accelerated computing to all enterprise workloads. It is a high-bandwidth LPDDR5X memory subsystem and PCIe GPU acceleration in a space-efficient footprint.
NVIDIA BlueField-4 STX Context Memory Storage Platform
Supermicro's upcoming Context Memory Storage Platform (CMX) introduces a new class of AI-native storage for context memory — architected as an intelligent pod-level context memory storage tier that extends GPU KV cache capacity and serves long-context inference data at the throughput that Vera Rubin NVL72 super pod clusters demand. Powered by NVIDIA BlueField-4 processor, NVIDIA Vera CPUs, NVIDIA ConnectX-9 SuperNICs, Spectrum-X Ethernet NVIDIA DOCA, and NVIDIA Dynamo, the system provides the high-bandwidth, low-latency fabric and intelligent data path offload that large-scale AI inference pipelines and RAG workloads require.
