- The system links distant facilities to run massive training workloads continuously
- High-speed fiber keeps GPUs active by avoiding slow data bottlenecks
- Two-story chip density increases compute power while lowering inter-rack latency
Microsoft has unveiled its first AI superfactory, linking large AI datacenters in Wisconsin and Atlanta through a dedicated fiber network designed for high-speed movement of training data.
The design places chips close together across two floors to increase density and reduce lag.
It also uses extensive cabling and liquid systems arranged to manage the weight and heat produced by large clusters of hardware.
A network built for large-scale model training
In a blog post,, Microsoft said this configuration will support vast AI workloads that differ from the smaller and more isolated tasks common in cloud environments.
“This is about building a distributed network that can act as a virtual supercomputer for tackling the world’s biggest…
