AirTrunk Becomes DGX-Ready Colocation Partner of NVIDIA

AirTrunk has announced that it is now proud to be a DGX-Ready colocation partner of NVIDIA. This partnership is a move forward for AirTrunk, as it seeks to test the capabilities of AI. 

The company is also pioneering liquid cooling in data centres, including a new direct-to-chip liquid cooling technology, with 20+MW already deployed at its JHB1 campus. Now, the collaboration between AirTrunk and NVIDIA Data Centre will test the boundaries of innovation with liquid cooling technology.

AirTrunk and NVIDIA partner to drive AI growth in APJ with liquid cooling technology

AirTrunk specialises in creating a platform for cloud, content and large enterprise customers across the Asia-Pacific & Japan region. The company has campuses in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia and Singapore, where it develops and operates data centre campuses with the goal to provide top-tier reliability, alongside energy and water efficiency. AirTrunk’s design and construction methodologies allow it to offer customers scalable and sustainable data centre solutions.

NVIDIA is based in Santa Clara, US, and aims to explore edge solutions for businesses, with its offerings transforming possibility into real-world results. NVIDIA assists data centres in leveraging GPU technology, designing software platforms and supporting ecosystem partnerships. 

NVIDIA has surpassed all expectations within the data centre industry, hitting revenues of US$22.10bn. In particular, its data centre revenue increased by 409% to US$18.4bn.

Analysts expect that the company’s data centre unit will record US$17.06bn in sales for its fiscal fourth quarter at the end of 2024. This is due in part to NVIDIA’s AI developments rapidly increasing profits, with the company expected to reach US$2tn in value over the next five years.

“Accelerated computing and generative AI (Gen AI) have hit the tipping point,” says CEO Jensen Huang. “Demand is surging worldwide across companies, industries and nations.”

Together, they will support the growth of AI across the APJ region.

AirTrunk to continues its expansion, bringing AI innovation and investment across the world

AirTrunk is ready to finish construction of the remaining phases of the JHB1 campus, its first data centre in Johor, Malaysia.

Over the next 18 months, AirTrunk will also deliver another 100MW capacity, with the initial tranche delivered by 2025, to assist the growth of its cloud and its international AI customers.

With more than 150MW total campus capacity, JHB1 is one of the biggest deployments of direct-to-chip liquid cooling technologies in the world, lowering energy consumption by up to 23%. Coupled with an industry-low design PUE of 1.15, JHB1 stands as one of the most efficient data centres in the country.

This 100MW expansion will offer direct investment into Johor over the next two years and will create over 2,500 jobs during construction as well as a number of highly skilled technical and operational jobs for local Malaysians.

In addition, AirTrunk has also announced a huge expansion in our Melbourne West (MEL1) campus, to support the growth of its customers. This will include the construction of the remaining three phases of the six phases in MEL1 campus which will deliver more than 100MW of new IT load.

At 185MW total campus capacity, MEL1 is one of the biggest and most connected data centres in Australia, which supports all major availability zones through its Public Cloud and AI services.
