At GITEX 2025 in Dubai, global technology leader Hewlett Packard Enterprise is showcasing its pioneering Cray supercomputing systems, the same technology that powers El Capitan, the world’s most powerful supercomputer. The display highlights HPE’s advanced 100% fanless direct liquid cooling systems architecture, a critical innovation for the next generation of high-performance computing and artificial intelligence.
Pioneering Direct Liquid Cooling
As AI adoption accelerates, the resulting surge in power consumption is quickly outpacing the capabilities of traditional air-cooling techniques in data centers. HPE addresses this challenge with its direct liquid cooling (DLC) technology. This 100% fanless architecture provides a more effective and efficient method for cooling next-generation AI systems, enabling organizations to manage large AI workloads without overheating or incurring excessive energy costs.
A New Standard in Energy Efficiency
The efficiency of HPE’s DLC systems has earned several of its supercomputers a place on the Green500 list, which ranks the world’s most energy-efficient systems. The technology delivers significant reductions in cooling power requirements, utility costs, carbon production, and ambient data center noise. Furthermore, this architecture allows for greater server cabinet density, enabling data centers to support more computing power while consuming half the floor space compared to conventional setups.
Relevance for the MENA Tech Ecosystem
The showcase of this technology at GITEX is particularly relevant for the MENA region, which is undergoing a massive digital transformation fueled by national AI strategies and giga-projects. As regional governments and enterprises build out their data infrastructure to support AI, smart cities, and advanced research, energy efficiency and sustainable scaling are paramount. HPE’s direct liquid cooling solutions offer a pathway for MENA data centers to enhance their computational capacity responsibly, aligning with the region’s ambitious technological goals and sustainability commitments.
