CyrusOne announces its recent product: Intelliscale. This artificial intelligence (AI) workload-specific data centre solution has been developed to address the growing needs of AI applications and services.
AI workloads are demanding increased performance and density, requiring a solution that accommodates increased scale and bespoke design. As a cornerstone of its design practice, CyrusOne developed Intelliscale as an enhancement to its build-to-suit solutions, partnering with several technology companies.
Intelliscale data centre is built upon an ultra-high-density foundation, optimising space utilisation and presenting ideal solution for companies aiming to effectively scale their AI infrastructure. Intelliscale data centres can occupy just 25% of space of typical data centres, depending on application and needs.
“The exponential increase in AI workloads will inevitably further impact the unprecedented demand that our industry is facing,” says John Hatem, chief operating officer at CyrusOne. “In this environment, planning for long-term AI growth is imperative and ensuring cloud service providers have the infrastructure to support it is central to making this a reality. Deploying Intelliscale today will allow organisations to secure their AI future. With this global solution, our objective is to establish an AI environment for our high-density customers that is efficient and flexible, empowering customers to enter the market more swiftly and cost-effectively.”
CyrusOne has designed Intelliscale to operate with minimal land usage offering a variety of redundancy configurations tailored to individual needs. Company’s modular manufacturing approach to data centre development enables customers to utilise liquid-to-chip cooling technology, rear door heat exchanger cooling systems and immersion cooling to achieve efficient cooling up to 300kW per rack, delivering unparalleled performance even under demanding AI workloads.
Intelliscale offers ability to create a high-density environment in a smaller building to maximise efficiencies across board and in some instances, existing facilities can be retrofitted to address dense AI deployments. In addition to space, there are additional converged infrastructure savings depending on their application. Intelliscale also offers sustainability benefits, including using less concrete and steel.
Eric Schwartz, chief executive officer at CyrusOne, highlighted company’s unwavering commitment to innovation, “We are constantly challenged to deliver next generation solutions for what our customers desire, and Intelliscale is just one example of how we are responding. We’re thrilled to be offering the data centre AI solution, a game changer for the industry.”
