Japan’s Fujitsu Ltd. and US-based Supermicro, Inc. announced on Friday that they would collaborate to develop advanced green computing technologies and liquid-cooled data center solutions.

According to a statement, the partnership will leverage Fujitsu’s Monaka processors slated for 2027 release. The processor is designed for data centers, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing applications.

“Supermicro is excited to collaborate with Fujitsu to deliver state-of-the-art servers and solutions that are high performance, power efficient and cost-optimized,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro, in the statement.

Liang added that the two companies will focus on green IT designs with energy-saving architectures, such as liquid cooling rack scale plug and play, to minimize technology’s environmental impact.

The collaboration will also extend to Fsas Technologies Inc., a Fujitsu subsidiary, providing AI platform-based generative AI solutions globally that combine Supermicro’s GPU server products and implementation support services for data center operators and enterprises.

“The collaboration between Fujitsu and Supermicro is a groundbreaking initiative that will accelerate green computing innovation,” said Vivek Mahajan, corporate vice president of Fujitsu, in the statement.

He added: “By combining our technologies, we will enable high-performance, energy-efficient AI system infrastructure, driving the evolution of AI and digital transformation.”

As a provider of information and communication technology services and data center infrastructure, Fujitsu and Supermicro believe that promoting a green AI infrastructure that reduces power consumption and environmental impact in data centers is a top priority.

As the world increasingly looks for ways to reduce its carbon footprint, initiatives like this offer a promising path forward, aligning innovation with sustainability to meet the demands of the future.
