Super Micro Computer has begun shipping Nvidia Vera Rubin NVL72 racks to customers.
Super Micro Computer Inc. (SMCI) has begun shipping Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) Vera Rubin NVL72 racks, bringing Nvidia's latest AI computing platform into production deployments alongside Supermicro's liquid cooling and data center infrastructure. The systems are being offered through Supermicro's Data Center Building Block Solutions, which combine compute, cooling, networking, storage and power infrastructure to help customers bring large AI clusters online more quickly.
Each NVL72 rack contains 72 Nvidia Rubin GPUs and 36 Vera CPUs, connected to work together as a single large AI computing system. The rack includes 20.7 TB of HBM4, or high-bandwidth memory, which Nvidia has designed to move large amounts of data quickly between processors and support increasingly demanding AI workloads. Nvidia has positioned Vera Rubin for agentic AI, where AI systems can reason through multiple steps, use tools, and continue working on tasks rather than simply answering individual prompts.
Supermicro's larger configuration connects 16 NVL72 racks, creating a system with 1,152 Rubin GPUs and 331 TB of HBM4 memory. SMCI's infrastructure designs can scale from 5-megawatt deployments to gigawatt-class AI data centers, allowing customers to use the same overall architecture for much larger computing installations. Cooling is a major part of that strategy, with Supermicro's direct-liquid-cooling system designed to remove heat from high-power processors and connect into the broader facility cooling infrastructure.
CEO Charles Liang said the company aims to provide customers with production-ready AI systems spanning everything from the server rack to the cooling system.
Supermicro's rollout comes as AI infrastructure continues to drive the company's business. In fiscal 2026, SMCI's net sales reached $39.1 billion, up from $22.0 billion a year earlier. The company also said it received more than $60 billion in new orders during fiscal Q4 and entered fiscal 2027 with a record backlog. Supermicro expects fiscal 2027 revenue of $65 billion to $72 billion.
