Hypertec TRIDENT iGW610R-G6: Immersion-Born 1U GPU Server for High-Density AI and HPC

by Harold Fritts

Hypertec TRIDENT iGW610R-G6, a 1U server, supports up to four full-height GPUs in a single-phase immersion environment. That’s up to 200 GPUs in a 50U tank.

Hypertec has unveiled the TRIDENT iGW610R-G6, a 1U immersion-born GPU server engineered to deliver exceptional density and performance for AI and HPC workloads. This new platform supports up to four full-height, full-length GPUs in a single-phase immersion environment, enabling up to 200 GPUs per 50U tank without the need for proprietary cooling loops, oversized chassis, or complicated servicing procedures.

Scaling AI and HPC workloads demands more than just raw compute power. It requires infrastructure that delivers density, efficiency, and operational simplicity. Immersion-born servers, like the TRIDENT iGW610R-G6, are designed to meet these needs, enabling data centers to achieve high-density performance while reducing energy consumption, space requirements, and cooling complexity.

The TRIDENT iGW610R-G6 is purpose-built for single-phase immersion cooling and supports a range of high-performance GPUs, including the NVIDIA RTX 6000 Pro, H200 NVL, H100 NVL, L40S, and other PCIe-based accelerators. This flexibility allows organizations to deploy the right mix of compute resources for demanding AI and HPC applications.

A key enhancement in this generation is the inclusion of hot-swappable E1.S drives, which support capacities of up to 64TB. This feature provides greater flexibility for data-intensive workloads, enabling organizations to scale storage quickly and efficiently.

Seamless Immersion Integration

The TRIDENT iGW610R-G6 redefines high-density GPU computing with its compact 1U form factor, specifically engineered for single-phase immersion. Its immersion-optimized design ensures straightforward plug-and-play compatibility with leading tank manufacturers, accelerating deployment in space-constrained AI and HPC environments.

To address the needs of modern data center infrastructure, the TRIDENT iGW610R-G6 offers standard IPMI for remote management, four front-serviceable PCIe slots, and hot-swappable E1.S NVMe drives. With no onboard fans and minimal airflow requirements, the server is designed for low-maintenance operation, supporting efficient and reliable performance in dense deployments.

StorageReview has been covering immersion cooling with detailed coverage on DUG and Castrol.

Powering AI Sustainably

The platform enables seamless swapping of high-speed EDSFF NVMe drives without downtime and now includes support for M.2 NVMe for additional storage flexibility. With support for up to four double-width PCIe Gen 5.0 GPUs and dual 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (each with a 350W TDP), the TRIDENT iGW610R-G6 delivers the compute power required for advanced AI and research workloads while helping organizations scale smarter, faster, and more sustainably.

The Benefits of Immersion Cooling

Immersion cooling offers numerous advantages, particularly in terms of sustainability and efficiency. It significantly reduces the volume of water used, levels of carbon emissions, and much more.

Benefit Details
95% Reduction in Cooling OPEX PUE of 1.03 (certified by a 3rd party).
ROI of less than 1 year, even considering only the electricity savings.
60% Increase in Hardware Lifespan No moving parts, no dust particles, no vibrations, and less thermal and mechanical stress due to the uniformity provided by the liquid and its viscosity.
10x Increase in Server Density Dissipation capacity of up to almost 100 kW within two standard racks.
99% Heat Captured in the Form of Warm Water Allows for unprecedented energy reuse if data centers are built near communities or industries, potentially creating new revenue streams.
50% CAPEX Reduction in Build Costs Rapidly deployable in raw space without the need for raised floors or cold aisles. Minimum retrofitting required for existing data centers.
0% Water Consumption The closed loop of the secondary cooling system ensures no corrosion or health risks (such as Legionella) and prevents water evaporation.
