DUBAI: During GITEX 2025, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) unveiled one of its flagship innovations—the Cray supercomputing platforms equipped with an advanced 100% fanless direct liquid cooling system. This cutting-edge technology is integral to some of the most powerful supercomputers globally, including the renowned El Capitan.
This cooling solution has played a vital role in HPE’s ability to develop several top-tier supercomputers that have earned spots on the Green500 list, a distinguished ranking recognizing the most energy-efficient supercomputing systems worldwide.
While next-generation accelerators have enhanced computational efficiency, the rising integration of AI is leading to a sharp increase in power consumption. This escalating demand often exceeds the capacity of traditional cooling methods, emphasizing the need for organizations managing large-scale AI workloads to adopt more effective cooling strategies.
HPE leads the industry in pioneering direct liquid cooling technology, which is currently regarded as the most efficient and effective method for cooling next-gen AI hardware. Its fully fanless, liquid-based architecture dramatically reduces energy consumption and operational costs, while also lowering carbon emissions and minimizing noise from data center fans.
