THE CHALLENGE

Deploying large-scale AI applications, efficiently and sustainably.

HPE required a solution to deploy large-scale AI applications efficiently and sustainably — a partner with high-performance infrastructure, liquid cooling, and a genuine environmental commitment. The AI Cloud rollout needed a campus that was already production-ready for high-density workloads, not one still being retrofitted.

THE SOLUTION

Q01: a cutting-edge data center, designed for the density AI demands.

QScale provided a high-density liquid-cooled data center designed for scalability and minimal environmental impact. QScale, with its cutting-edge Q01 data center in Quebec City, emerged as the ideal solution. Powered by 100% renewable energy and designed for high-density workloads, Q01 offered HPE the flexibility and scalability needed to deploy its AI Cloud solution seamlessly. QScale's expertise in liquid cooling and heat reuse initiatives further aligned with HPE's focus on responsible AI development.
