Leading full stack of AI supercomputing solutions unveiled at GTC 2024

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 March 2024 – ASUS today announced its participation at the NVIDIA GTC global AI conference, where it will showcase its solutions at booth #730. On show will be the apex of ASUS GPU server innovation, ESC NM1-E1 and ESC NM2-E1, powered by the NVIDIA MGX modular reference architecture, accelerating AI supercomputing to new heights.

To help meet the increasing demands for generative AI, ASUS uses the latest technologies from NVIDIA, including the B200 Tensor Core GPU, the GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip, and H200 NVL, to help deliver optimized AI server solutions to boost AI adoption across a wide range of industries.

To better support enterprises in establishing their own generative AI environments, ASUS offers an extensive lineup of servers, from entry-level to high-end GPU server solutions, plus a comprehensive range of liquid-cooled rack solutions, to meet diverse workloads. Additionally, by leveraging its MLPerf expertise, the ASUS team is pursuing excellence by optimizing hardware and software for large-language-model (LLM) training and inferencing and seamlessly integrating total AI solutions to meet the demanding landscape of AI supercomputing.

Tailored AI solutions with the all-new ASUS NVIDIA MGX-powered server
The latest ASUS NVIDIA MGX-powered 2U servers, ESC NM1-E1 and ESC NM2-E1, showcase the NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip which offer high performance and efficiency. The NVIDIA Grace CPU includes Arm® Neoverse V9 CPU cores with Scalable Vector Extensions (SVE2) and is powered by NVIDIA NVLink-C2C technology. Integrating with NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs and ConnectX-7 network adapters, ASUS MGX-powered servers deliver a blazing data throughput of 400Gb/s, ideal for enterprise AI development and deployment. Coupled with NVIDIA AI Enterprise, an end-to-end, cloud-native software platform for building and deploying enterprise-grade AI applications, the MGX-powered ESC NM1-E1 provides unparalleled flexibility and scalability for AI-driven data centers, HPC, data analytics and NVIDIA Omniverse applications.

Advanced liquid-cooling technology
The surge in AI applications has heightened the demand for advanced server-cooling technology. ASUS direct-to-chip (D2C) cooling offers a quick, simple option that distinguishes itself from the competition. D2C can be rapidly deployed, lowering data center power-usage effectiveness (PUE) ratios. ASUS servers, ESC N8-E11 and RS720QN-E11-RS24U, support manifolds and cool plates, enabling diverse cooling solutions. Additionally, ASUS servers accommodate a rear-door heat exchanger compliant with standard rack-server designs, eliminating the need to replace all racks — only the rear door is required to enable liquid cooling in the rack. By closely collaborating with industry-leading cooling solution providers, ASUS provides enterprise-grade comprehensive cooling solutions and is committed to minimizing data center PUE, carbon emissions and energy consumption to assist in the design and construction of greener data centers.

Confident AI software solutions
With its world-leading expertise in AI supercomputing, ASUS provides optimized server design and rack integration for data-intensive workloads. At GTC, ASUS will showcase ESC4000A-E12 to demonstrate a no-code AI platform with an integrated software stack, enabling businesses to accelerate AI development on LLM pre-training, fine-tuning and inference — reducing risks and time-to-market without starting from scratch. Additionally, ASUS provides a comprehensive solution to support different LLM tokens from 7B, 33B and even over 180B with customized software, facilitating seamless server data dispatching. By optimizing the allocation of GPU resources for fine-tune training, the software stack ensures that AI applications and workloads can run without wasting resources, which helps to maximize efficiency and return on investment (ROI). Furthermore, the software-hardware synergy delivered by ASUS provides businesses with the flexibility to choose the AI capabilities that best fit their needs, allowing them to push ROI still further.

This innovative software approach optimizes the allocation of dedicated GPU resources for AI training and inferencing, boosting system performance. The integrated software-hardware synergy caters to diverse AI training needs, empowering businesses of all sizes, including SMBs, to leverage advanced AI capabilities with ease and efficiency.

To address the evolving requirements of enterprise IoT applications, ASUS, renowned for its robust computing capabilities, is collaborating with industrial partners, software experts and domain-focused integrators. These collaborations aim to offer turnkey server support for complete solutions, including full installation and testing for modern data-center, AI and HPC applications.

BUCHAREST, ROMANIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 March 2024 – TDCX, (NYSE: TDCX), an award-winning digital customer experience (CX) solutions provider for technology and blue-chip companies, announced that it had partnered with Volvo Cars in going the extra mile for its customers in several markets in Europe. TDCX provides customer care services in more than seven languages across multiple channels including phone, email and social media. Through the collaboration, customers are served in their native language and enjoy faster response times as well as a seamless experience across their preferred channels. TDCX is also supporting pre-sales activities, completing the full customer journey.

Car makers are increasingly shifting gears, prioritizing customer experience in response to customer demand. Less than one in 10 Europeans is of the view that car brands^[1] provide a good digital experience (e.g., online experience, in-app), while another study showed that almost half of customers contemplate switching car brands after a negative CX encounter^[2].

Mr. Niclas Medin, Head of Outsourcing Volvo Cars, said, “Beyond making cars that serve our customers’ lifestyles and are sustainable and safe, we are committed to helping them enjoy the experience of owning a Volvo. Ensuring that we provide great CX is a key part in achieving that goal. In today’s fast-moving world, the experience that we provide our customers with must keep up with the ever-changing needs of customers. To do so, we decided to tap the support of a specialist CX provider, TDCX, to deliver a seamless, omnichannel experience that we aim to provide our customers with. We are confident that our partnership with TDCX will help us drive greater customer engagement and satisfaction.”

Tapping technology such as AI to transform customer experience

TDCX has set up CX teams for Volvo Cars in Romania and Türkiye, serving as a hub to serve customers in Europe. These locations were chosen due to their skilled talent pools and CX expertise, which can support business operations and growth.

To support its customer service specialists in serving Volvo Cars’ customers efficiently and effectively, TDCX also plans to implement innovative digital tools that provide greater insight into the customer’s history and their potential needs. This enables the specialists to understand the customer better, reducing the duration of the interaction and speeding up the resolution process.

TDCX will also work with Volvo Cars to explore the use of artificial intelligence to enhance the customer experience further.

Mr. Daniel Mereuta, Country Director, TDCX Romania said, “As CX continues to be a priority for automakers, it’s clear that companies are shifting their focus from product features alone to creating meaningful connections with their customers. This renewed emphasis on CX is not only about providing convenience but also about delivering personalized experiences that evoke emotions and foster loyalty.

“Our expertise in setting up CX operations quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively enables us to help leading brands such as Volvo Cars in focusing on their core business while achieving their CX ambitions. As we deepen our collaboration work with Volvo Cars to explore the use of technology such as generative AI to deliver digitally enabled customer experiences that maintain the warmth of a human touch. By combining intelligent automation with empathetic human touchpoints across all stages of the customer journey – from pre-purchase research to post-sales support – we will be able to create an unparalleled CX that sets Volvo Cars apart.”

Volvo Cars partnership with TDCX in Europe builds on its successful tie-up in Malaysia which started just over a year ago. TDCX’s expertise in omnichannel customer support and lead generation has proven instrumental in paving the way for a more seamless engagement between Volvo Cars and its customers.
