Ravi Pendekanti, Corporate Vice President of the Data Center Solutions Business Unit at AMD, said: “The next phase of AI development depends not only on higher computing power but also on the efficiency of deployment, connectivity, and scaling. The open rack-level AI architecture built by AMD Helios integrates AMD’s leading computing, networking, and software technologies, helping customers accelerate deployment, improve infrastructure efficiency, and meet demanding AI workloads with a long-term, flexible architecture.”
Supermicro is among the first partners to collaborate deeply with AMD to bring Helios solutions to market, further solidifying its leadership in end-to-end AI infrastructure solutions. The Helios is a dual-wide rack-level system equipped with 72 GPUs, featuring AMD Instinct MI455X GPUs, 6th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors, and AMD Pensando™ networking technology, unified through the open-source AMD ROCm™ software stack. Optimized for large-scale AI deployment, Helios offers ultra-high computing density and outstanding performance to meet the demands of cutting-edge model training and high-throughput inference. Core capabilities include modular scalability from a single rack to cluster level, open networking for vertical and horizontal AI scaling, and integrated virtualization with rack-level software acceleration.
Leveraging open networking, advanced security mechanisms, and integrated ROCm™ software, Helios helps service providers accelerate AI service deployment, optimize resource utilization, and deliver stable, high-performance AI capabilities in hyperscale deployment scenarios.
The Helios platform fully embodies Supermicro’s A+A+A philosophy: Architecture, Accelerators, and Advancements, combining rack-level system design, AMD’s leading AI computing solutions, and integrated software innovations. This coordinated approach helps customers deploy AI infrastructure faster, improve operational efficiency, and achieve seamless scaling as demand grows.
DCBBS is built on proven components and subsystems to create complete, modular AI infrastructure, supporting flexible deployment from individual servers and network devices to full rack-level and data center-level solutions, accompanied by software and services.
The AMD Helios rack-level solution will be showcased at Supermicro’s booth (N0602, 4th Floor, Hall 1, Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center), where attendees can observe the product design and rich features firsthand. Participants can also experience Supermicro’s A+ Superverse Interactive Demo platform on-site.
