Hon Hai Technology Group (鴻海科技集團) yesterday showcased its latest liquid-cooled server racks at Nvidia Corp’s developers’ conference in San Jose, California, with the products aimed at helping customers build artificial intelligence (AI) data centers.
The racks are developed by Hon Hai subsidiary Ingrasys Technology Inc (鴻佰科技) and support Nvidia’s new GB200 flagship chip, Hon Hai said in a statement.
To fuel a new wave of generative AI applications, Ingrasys is leveraging the Nvidia GB200 NVL72, a next-generation AI liquid-cooled rack solution, Hon Hai said.

“Our collaboration with Nvidia helps us deliver the latest accelerated computing technologies to our customers so they can build AI-powered data centers to suit a wide range of applications,” Ingrasys president Benjamin Ting (丁肇邦) said.
Complementing Ingrasys’ rack solution is an advanced liquid-cooling technology, which Hon Hai has been working on for at least five years to address heat management issues for server or data center operators.
Liquid cooling and high-speed switch manufacturing are keys to enhancing graphics processing unit performance, as they help improve the performance of AI servers and optimize power consumption, eventually reducing operational costs for customers, Hon Hai chairman Young Liu (劉揚偉) said last week.
Wiwynn Corp (緯穎), a supplier of cloud infrastructure for data centers, also displayed its latest AI server racks based on the Nvidia GB200 NVL72 system, along with its rack-level liquid-cooling management system, at the developers conference.
The company would continue collaborating with Nvidia to develop optimized and sustainable solutions for data centers in the generative AI era, Wiwynn chief executive officer Sunlai Chang (張順來) said in a separate statement.
GROWING OWINGS: While Luxembourg and China swapped the top three spots, the US continued to be the largest exposure for Taiwan for the 41st consecutive quarter The US remained the largest debtor nation to Taiwan’s banking sector for the 41st consecutive quarter at the end of September, after local banks’ exposure to the US market rose more than 2 percent from three months earlier, the central bank said.
