Builder and operator of low-carbon computing infrastructure
partners with HPE to offer powerful AI solutions for training and
tuning in new cloud platform
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced that its
market-leading HPE Cray supercomputers were selected by Crusoe to
power new cloud services, which are designed to drive sustainable
computing for generative AI and other compute-intensive
workloads.
Crusoe builds and operates modular data centers to provide
ultra-high performance, specialized compute capacity to meet
growing AI needs in a climate-aligned way. Crusoe utilizes wasted,
stranded or clean energy such as otherwise flared natural gas or
stranded renewable energy, to power its data centers. To date,
Crusoe’s utilization of otherwise wasted flared gas has reduced
flaring by billions of cubic feet and in 2022 prevented methane
emissions equivalent to removing approximately 170,000
gasoline-powered cars from the road1.
Through the new collaboration with HPE, Crusoe will leverage HPE
Cray XD supercomputers, which are purpose-built to deliver the
energy-efficient performance and scale required to effectively
train and tune large-scale AI models. HPE also designed these
solutions with NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs and NVIDIA Quantum-2
InfiniBand to provide advanced, accelerated compute and networking
to support various AI and data-intensive workloads.
“Our proven supercomputing solutions provide the specialized
performance and scale required to effectively train larger AI
models and unlock significant value across industries,” said Justin
Hotard, executive vice president and general manager, HPC, AI &
Labs at HPE. “However, the AI opportunity comes with significant
computing requirements, that if not managed correctly, can rapidly
increase carbon footprint. We are committed to continue delivering
world-leading energy-efficient supercomputers and proud to join
Crusoe, one of the leading organizations in powering data centers
with renewable energy, to offer customers advanced AI solutions in
a sustainable computing platform.”
Crusoe’s goal is to turn energy production waste into computing
resources that enterprises, academic institutions, research
facilities, and entrepreneurs can use to develop products and
solutions that change lives. Through this partnership, Crusoe can
leverage HPE’s expertise in supercomputing, IT infrastructure and
sustainable IT to accelerate its core initiatives.
“Our mission is to align the future of computing with the future
of the climate and as a leader in supercomputing and sustainable
IT, HPE is an ideal collaborator to support Crusoe on this journey.
By taking an energy-first approach to our computing infrastructure,
we aim to help the world unlock transformative innovative potential
with artificial intelligence and high performance computing without
having to bear environmental consequences from the large energy
demand associated with these workloads,” said Chase Lochmiller, CEO
and Co-Founder of Crusoe.
