Late Tuesday, Microsoft Azure shared an interesting picture on its social media platform X, showcasing the pinnacle of GPU-accelerated servers—NVIDIA "Blackwell" GB200-powered AI systems. Microsoft is one of NVIDIA's largest customers, and the company often receives products first to integrate into its cloud and company infrastructure. Even NVIDIA listens to feedback from companies like Microsoft about designing future products, especially those like the now-canceled NVL36x2 system. The picture below shows a massive cluster that roughly divides the compute area into a single-third of the entire system, with a gigantic two-thirds of the system dedicated to closed-loop liquid cooling.

The entire system is connected using Infiniband networking, a standard for GPU-accelerated systems due to its lower latency in packet transfer. While the details of the system are scarce, we can see that the integrated closed-loop liquid cooling allows the GPU racks to be in a 1U form for increased density. Given that these systems will go into the wider Microsoft Azure data centers, a system needs to be easily maintained and cooled. There are indeed limits in power and heat output that Microsoft's data centers can handle, so these types of systems often fit inside internal specifications that Microsoft designs. There are more compute-dense systems, of course, like NVIDIA's NVL72, but hyperscalers should usually opt for other custom solutions that fit into their data center specifications. Finally, Microsoft noted that we can expect to see more details at the upcoming Microsoft Ignite conference in November and learn more about its GB200-powered AI systems.
