GMI Cloud Unveils Taoyuan AI Factory as Data Center Bottlenecks Shift to Power
MEP · Smart operations
GMI Cloud showcased its AI Factory in Taoyuan, converted from an existing IDC. Featuring a 25MW total load with 16MW for IT, the site addresses power and cooling constraints via multi-tier backup and liquid cooling architectures.
GMI Cloud presented Phase 1 of its AI Factory in Taoyuan, converted from Taiwan Mobile's existing IDC infrastructure rather than built anew. With a maximum capacity of 25MW (16MW for IT loads), the facility reflects a shift where power limits GPU expansion before physical space runs out. Phase 1 deploys 3 DGX SuperPOD GB300 systems (about 48 racks) supported by tiered backup and liquid cooling systems.
Key takeaways
- Power backup includes lithium batteries (about 6 minutes buffer), UPS, and N+1 diesel generators, with distributed placement to reduce single-point failure risks.
- Cooling relies on a hybrid design removing about 87% of heat via liquid cooling, using thermal storage tanks during power transfers; PUE is currently around 1.35.
