this is a rack of processors for a data center that is liquid cooled. historically , telcos have operated data centers, although not at the scale of the big cloud hyperscale players. the revolution in generative AI, especially the need for generative AI processors, means that telcos need to think about liquid cooling inside their data centers. liquid cooling is much more complex and can be difficult to retrofit. generative AI processors use roughly 10 times as much power as traditional data center chips, so liquid cooling is sometimes the only option. this happens to be a super micro solution, but there are others of course
