"The NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 platform sets a new standard for AI factory performance, and our DCBBS Blueprints give customers a proven, end-to-end path to build at any scale -- from 5MW to 1GW," said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. "We have delivered some of the earliest and largest liquid-cooled AI factories, and that experience is built into every Blueprint -- so our customers can move from design to fully operational faster than ever before."
Supermicro's DCBBS Blueprints address the challenges of the practical implementation behind the most advanced AI infrastructure in the world. The NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform vastly improves AI Factory performance density, doubling speeds across multiple computing domains. NVIDIA's latest reference architecture precisely defines what an ideal 1,152-GPU scalable unit should contain --a Supermicro's DCBBS Blueprint defines the steps to achieve deployment success, with a proven track record for deploying the world's largest liquid-cooled AI factories featuring over 100,000 GPUs.

Supermicro's DCBBS Blueprint Addresses the Reality of AI Factory Implementation
Customers planning AI factory buildouts or retrofits start from a fixed constraint: available power. DCBBS Blueprints for NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 features a balanced bill-of-materials for a given power envelope, ranging from 5MW to 1GW, and provides the right ratio of cooling capacity, power delivery, compute nodes, management nodes, high-performance storage nodes, context memory storage platform nodes, and networking to ensure optimal performance due to bottlenecks such as network oversubscription, power capacity limitations, thermal throttling or other encumbrances.
The Blueprints cover the full end-to-end sequence that Supermicro has successfully used to complete large-scale AI projects at record-breaking speeds:
- On-site facility surveys are conducted by the Supermicro dedicated team to analyze the physical site against the deployment requirements. Surveys include assessment of loading dock access, data hall measurements and clearances, floor plan, floor load ratings, and more. The site is assessed for existing prospective power and cooling infrastructure to accurately inform Supermicro's design proposal, tailored to each customer project.
- Project design and proposals include all critical details into a specific buildout plan customized to the customer's requirements and facility constraints. Supermicro defines the right combination of DCBBS components, including the cooling solution (in-row CDUs up to 1.8MW for fully direct liquid-cooled compatible facilities, liquid-to-air sidecars for facilities without facility water infrastructure, in-rack CDU options based on a 52U rack configuration are currently in development, and rear-door heat exchanger options are available as a supplementary option for environments with higher ambient temperatures). Customers receive a complete proposal with a transparent bill of materials and a clear deployment timeline.
- Solution Integration with Full On-Site Service: Supermicro's solution integration process starts well before on-site delivery, with much of the heavy-lifting happening in Supermicro's US-based manufacturing facilities. This includes the processes of racking, stacking, and cabling within each rack. Supermicro verifies functionality with a testing process that exceeds industry standards, extending to system-level (L10) and cluster-level (L11) multi-node tests. The Supermicro dedicated team manages the logistics of site-level components such as CDUs, cooling towers, and power infrastructure, including coordination with any third-party vendors of the customer's choice, if applicable. Integration delivery service and on-site integration include rack placement, power and cooling connections, network cabling, system commissioning, software stack installation, and on-site solution validation.
- Support, Services, and Software provide a range of continued on-site options for long-term success, including on-site response times as fast as 4 hours for mission-critical uptime requirements. Integration with Supermicro's software suite of infrastructure. management tools are available, including Supermicro's SuperCloud Composer® and SuperCloud Director for unified infrastructure control ranging from bare-metal management to multi-tenant workload orchestration, and NVIDIA's full AI software stack including NVIDIA AI Enterprise and NVIDIA Run:ai. Asset tracking features ensure physical asset information and sensor data for every CDU, and other components, are readily available.
Supermicro's DCBBS Blueprints Align with the Reference Architecture for NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72
The NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform has the potential for transformative generational performance improvements but requires a repeatable and dependable approach to deploy successfully. Supermicro ensures alignment with the latest NVIDIA reference architecture, giving customers confidence that their deployment aligns with the NVIDIA Cloud Partner ecosystem.
The scalable units at the heart of the Supermicro DCBBS Blueprints provide 1,152 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs with 331TB of HBM4 GPU memory. The Vera Rubin generation doubles GPU memory bandwidth, GPU-to-GPU NVLink bandwidth, and per-GPU networking bandwidth compared to NVIDIA Blackwell, providing the architectural foundation for training and inference of frontier AI models with multiple trillions of parameters.
- Advanced Direct Liquid Cooling technology stack (DLC-2), including 5MW cooling towers, 4x in-row cooling distribution units (up to 1.8MW each), 16x vertically mounted cooling distribution manifolds, and 576 direct-to-chip copper cold plates (1 per every host processor module). Featuring Supermicro SMC PG25-A coolant engineered to deliver exceptional chemical and thermal stability. Liquid-to-air options will be available to support Vera Rubin NVL72 deployment in facilities without liquid cooling infrastructure, including a 200kW option supporting one rack and a 500kW option supporting two racks.
- Power Distribution Infrastructure from medium-voltage transformers through low-voltage distribution, rack-level power shelves, and battery backup units (BBUs). Each Vera Rubin NVL72 rack includes four 110 kW power shelves with redundant 18.3 kW power supply units. The DCBBS portfolio supports mission-critical data centers, with options including Supermicro's Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) providing instant-switching backup power.

Supermicro's DCBBS Blueprint Ensures Single-Vendor Accountability
A typical AI infrastructure buildout involves more than a dozen distinct supplier relationships across compute, storage, networking, racks, cooling distribution, cooling towers, power infrastructure, battery backup, cabling, transceivers, and services. When these relationships are managed across multiple vendors, every vendor handoff introduces schedule risk and accountability gaps that slow deployments and complicate troubleshooting processes.
The DCBBS Blueprints for NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 and NVIDIA HGX Rubin NVL8 are now available for customer engagements with deployments scheduled for the second half of 2026 aligned with NVIDIA Vera Rubin general availability. Supermicro will demonstrate the NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 and NVIDIA HGX Rubin NVL8 platforms at Computex booth N0824, June 2-6, 2026, in Taipei, Taiwan, with additional demonstrations at NVIDIA GTC Taipei.
