Empowering a Traditional Manufacturer's Shift to GB300 NVL72 Liquid Cooling

Scenario

A manufacturing giant, seeking an intelligent transformation, planned to deploy advanced AI platforms like the NVIDIA Blackwell series to enhance production efficiency and decision-making. However, its existing factory floors and data rooms were designed for traditional air cooling. The facilities team had limited knowledge of liquid cooling technology and was tasked with implementing a safe, reliable, and easy-to-deploy solution on a tight schedule—a daunting challenge.

Pain points

1. Concerns related to production downtime caused by data center upgrades

2. Risk of water leaks and electrical hazards, coupled with stringent EHS audit

3. Uncertainties related to design and implementation, including potential delays

ASUS solution

ASUS provided a 1:1 scale model of a NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 liquid-cooled rack in the AI lab, complete with a raised floor and full cold/hot aisle containment. Clients could get a hands-on look—even examining the underfloor "bottom-feed" piping and power busbars. In just 30 seconds, the client understood how ASUS achieved complete separation of water and power, fundamentally eliminating safety concerns.

This infrastructure design passed audits from multiple publicly listed manufacturers, proving its high level of safety and compliance. Furthermore, ASUS demonstrated how the ASUS Infrastructure Deployment Center (AIDC) could complete a large-scale deployment of a GB300 NVL72 in just 30 minutes, ensuring the fastest possible time-to-market.

Outcome

The client gained invaluable hands-on experience and saw a complete factory floor liquid-cooling design and 3D data center layout. This potentially saved them millions (NTD) in facilities consulting fees and drastically reduced the design phase — down from 3 to 6 months to a fraction of the time. The AI infrastructure upgrade was achieved with zero impact on existing production lines, empowering the manufacturer to confidently and rapidly advance into the AI era.
