Cloud computing provider CloudCIX and AI infrastructure company AlloComp have deployed a liquid-cooled Nvidia cluster in Cork, Ireland.

Housed at CloudCIX’s data center in Cork, the supercomputer is Nvidia HGX-based with Nvidia Blackwell chips.

The system has already been deployed, and is expected to go live in the coming weeks.

The HGX offering integrates eight B200 chips with high-speed interconnects. According to AlloComp, the system stands around 2.5m tall and weighs almost a ton.

Jerry Sweeney, managing director of CloudCIX, said: “More and more Irish companies are working with AI models that demand extreme performance and tight control over data. This upgrade gives industry, startups, and applied researchers a world-class compute platform here in Ireland, close to their teams, their systems, and their customers.”

The cluster is an upgrade to the previous Boole supercomputer, and according to the companies, it is the first liquid-cooled Blackwell cluster in Europe.

Kasia Zabinska, co-founder of AlloComp, added, “Supporting CloudCIX in delivering Ireland’s first liquid-cooled system of this type is an important milestone. The result is a high-density platform designed to give Irish teams the performance, control, and sustainability they need to develop and deploy AI.”

AlloCloud is CloudCIX’s infrastructure partner, and assisted with the system selection, supply coordination, and technical deployment.

CloudCIX – also known as the Cork Internet Exchange – launched its Cork data center in 2011. The company describes itself as a public cloud based on the OpenStack cloud computing platform.
