Soluna builds modular AI data centers with Juniper switches and sustainable power


AI Innovators: Soluna builds modular AI data centers with Juniper switches and sustainable power
Acquiring the power needed to run an AI data center isn't easy, but Soluna has a solution: modular AI data centers co-located at renewable energy production sites.
Join Dipul Patel, CTO of Soluna, as he talks energy, AI training, and why Juniper hardware is the perfect match for Soluna's innovative designs.

0:04 think of AI especially gpus as an arms
0:08 race of converting lots of energy into
0:11 useful information saluna builds data
0:13 centers that are connected to Green
0:16 energy sites like solar or wind power or
0:18 Hydro power data centers consume a lot
0:20 of power and green energy sites have a
0:23 lot of power to give that isn't sold to
0:26 the grid and so if you collocate the two
0:29 you can solve two massive problems in
0:31 one fell swooop if I can convert this
0:34 amazing amount of power that's all
0:36 sustainable and green and helps the
0:37 planet into information but I can't ship
0:40 it anywhere I'm done and that's where
0:42 Juniper comes in Juniper allows us to
0:46 bring those signals into our sites from
0:48 very complicated paths and delivers the
0:50 internet to the devices on the site on
0:53 the AI side we have redesigned those
0:56 clusters that we're going to deploy at
0:57 our Helix data centers with Juniper
1:00 switches which are revolutionary in the
1:03 way that you get a lot more bandwidth
1:05 per switch and what that allows us to do
1:07 is reduce the amount of switches you
1:09 need for larger clusters and so what
1:11 made Juniper very amazing at this is
1:14 that not only did you integrate Open
1:16 Standards and use ethernet the way it's
1:18 designed and then created new things as
1:20 well but also you have a lab and you
1:22 deployed the stuff and you saw the real
1:25 world implications of data collisions
1:27 and things like that and how that works
1:28 itself out as the demand for AI grows
1:32 the people I want to do business with
1:33 are the ones that have a similar DNA and
1:35 how they think that shows alignment
1:37 shows everyone is like on the same page
1:39 and that is underrated
