CloudCIX, in conjunction with AlloComp, will host AI FORWARD > Supercomputing the Future, a one-day open event at the CloudCIX data centre in Cork, home to the newly upgraded Boole Supercomputer.
The event marks the deployment of Ireland’s first liquid-cooled NVIDIA B200 supercomputer, delivered by AlloComp in partnership with Dell Technologies, and provides an in-depth look at the infrastructure decisions shaping the future of AI, from data sovereignty to sustainability and cost control.
Speaking ahead of the event, Jerry Sweeney, CloudCIX Founder and Managing Director, said: “This event marks a significant milestone in our business strategy and will showcase the major advances we are making across high-performance computing and cloud services.”
Niall Smith, CEO of AlloComp, added: “This deployment shows what is now possible when AI infrastructure is designed for performance, control and efficiency from day one. As the delivery partner for this system, we are delighted to share real-world experience, not just theory, at this event.”
Designed for anyone curious about how AI infrastructure actually works, from technology leaders and researchers to start-ups and the public sector, the event brings together practitioners and ecosystem partners to move the conversation beyond theory and into real-world deployment.
Attendees will get a rare opportunity to step inside a live data centre and see next-generation AI infrastructure up close. The programme includes expert panel discussions, guided data centre tours, practical workshops, an AI technology expo and networking with industry practitioners. Topics range from scaling AI beyond proof of concept to making informed decisions about workload placement and infrastructure design.
