How Nvidia's Partner is Rewiring the AI Energy Crisis
Sustainable Metal Cloud, a data center company using Nvidia processors, has developed HyperCubes, which reduce energy consumption by up to 50% through immersion cooling in synthetic oil. This technology, currently deployed in Singapore and Australia, also offers a 28% lower installation cost compared to other liquid-based cooling systems.

The HyperCubes contain servers fitted with Nvidia processors which are submerged in a synthetic oil called polyalphaolefin that draws heat away more efficiently than air. The company said its platform reduces energy consumption by up to 50%, as compared to traditional air cooling technology typically used in data centers.
As demand for AI processors rises, SMC is expanding into new markets like Thailand and India, partnering with companies like Nvidia and Deloitte.
