Akash Delivers
Akash Diamond Cooling® solution is a new innovation in cooling technology that is additive to existing air and liquid cooling technologies
Akash Systems, Inc., a pioneer in Diamond Cooling® technology, has announced a major milestone in AI infrastructure: the delivery of the world’s first Diamond Cooled GPU servers to NxtGen AI PVT Ltd, India’s largest sovereign cloud provider.
The delivery features the world’s most energy- and capital-efficient NVIDIA H200 GPU servers, integrated with Akash’s proprietary Diamond Cooling® technology. This innovation is projected to increase GPU compute by an unprecedented 15 percent in high-ambient temperature data centers, while significantly reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).
Breaking the Thermal Wall
As AI workloads demand more power, heat has become the primary bottleneck for performance. By utilizing synthetic diamond, the world’s most thermally conductive material, Akash Systems extracts heat 5x faster than copper, the current industry standard.
“Diamond Cooling solves the two hardest problems in the AI infrastructure race – energy and capital efficiency,” said Dr. Felix Ejeckam, Co-Founder & CEO of Akash Systems. “In a world where a one to two percent increase in compute is meaningful, a 15 percent increase is truly game-changing. We’re proud to partner with NxtGen on this first-ever deployment.”
Performance in Extreme Conditions
Unlike standard data centers that must operate at 24°C to 29°C (75°F to 85°F), Diamond Cooled servers maintain peak performance in ambient temperatures up to 50°C (122°F). This allows providers like NxtGen to:
Eliminate Thermal Throttling: Maintain 100% performance for heavy training and inference.
Increase Efficiency: Boost FLOPs/Watt by up to 15% per server.
Reduce Power Usage: Significantly improve Power Use Effectiveness (PUE) by reducing reliance on intensive refrigeration.
A.S. Rajgopal, CEO of NxtGen, noted: “By integrating Akash’s Diamond Cooling into our infrastructure, we are delivering a more competitive solution for our customers. Diamond Cooling is going to become part of every AI Factory’s development strategy.”
The Future of AI Infrastructure
This delivery is only the beginning. Akash Systems plans to release additional aftermarket Diamond Cooling® solutions for other NVIDIA systems, including the upcoming Blackwell series. First developed for NASA satellites where traditional air cooling is impossible, this technology is now ready to scale the world’s most demanding AI data centers.
