Dell’s new high-end Nvidia-based server is a centerpiece for its integrated AI platform aimed at enterprise customers with major AI infrastructure plans.
The networking; Dell PowerScale and PowerStore storage capacity; and AI software such as Nvidia’s AI Enterprise and NIM inference microservices.
The liquid-cooled XE8812 delivers a “generational leap” in compute density and memory capacity, from January 2026.
Nvidia unveils Vera Rubin platform
The Dell announcement is part of a larger . Nvidia said the Vera Rubin platform combines compute, networking, and data processing into rack-scale deployments for large AI data centers. The platform integrates its Vera CPU, Rubin GPU, NVLink 6 switch, ConnectX-9 SuperNIC, BlueField-4 DPU, and Spectrum-6 Ethernet switch, along with the newly added Groq 3 LPU, into a single system designed to operate as an AI supercomputer, Nvidia stated.
The architecture is designed to support all stages of AI workloads, from large-scale training and post-training to real-time inference. It’s aimed AI factory-type deployments or large-scale data center applications.
At the rollout, Super Micro also announced plans to roll out a Nvidia Vera Rubin-based AI server that will include up to 1,152 Nvidia Rubin GPUs and 576 Nvidia Vera CPUs in liquid-cooled racks. Its new server will be at the core of Super Micro’s Data Center Building Block Solutions (DCBBS) Blueprint offering, which defines compute, networking, advanced liquid cooling, power distribution, and site definition recommendations for building AI infrastructure, according to the vendor.
“The DCBBS Blueprint covers the full end-to-end sequence that Supermicro has used to complete large-scale liquid-cooled projects at record-breaking speeds. On-site facility surveys conducted by the Supermicro experts assess loading dock access, data hall measurements and clearances, floor load ratings, and existing power and cooling infrastructure to inform a design proposal tailored to each project,” the vendor stated.
“The Nvidia Vera Rubin NVL4 platform is built for this convergence, and the DCBBS Blueprint for HPC defines the steps to deploy it successfully, backed by Supermicro’s proven track-record building the world’s largest liquid-cooled supercomputing clusters featuring over 100,000 GPUs,” according to Super Micro.
