A Rack-Scale Platform for the AI Era

Lenovo NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 is a fully integrated rack-scale platform purpose-built for large-scale AI training, advanced reasoning, Agentic AI, and high-throughput inference. Combining 36 NVIDIA Vera CPUs and 72 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs within a unified architecture, the platform provides the foundation for organizations building next-generation AI factories, sovereign AI environments, and cloud-scale AI services.

Accelerate the Most Demanding AI Workloads

Designed for foundational model development and deployment, Vera Rubin NVL72 enables organizations to tackle increasingly complex AI challenges. The platform is optimized for large language model training, reasoning models, agentic AI systems, real-time inference, and emerging AI workloads that require massive compute density and high-bandwidth communication between GPUs.

Unified Rack-Scale AI Architecture

At the heart of the platform is a single NVLink™ domain connecting 72 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs through 9 NVIDIA NVLink switch trays and 36 NVIDIA NVLink 6 Switch chips.

Combined with 36 NVIDIA Vera CPUs, high-bandwidth networking, and a standardized rack-level design, the architecture delivers a scalable platform engineered for modern AI environments.

Integrated Infrastructure from Compute to Cooling

Vera Rubin NVL72 integrates compute resources, networking, management, power distribution, and cooling into a complete rack-scale solution. This approach simplifies deployment and creates a consistent foundation for organizations scaling AI capabilities across cloud, enterprise, sovereign AI, and AI factory environments.

Designed for High-Density AI Deployment

To support the requirements of next-generation AI computing, the platform incorporates direct water cooling across compute and NVLink infrastructure. The integrated cooling architecture supports inlet temperatures of up to 45°C for improved performance per watt and enables the dense deployment of CPUs, GPUs, and networking technologies while supporting the power and thermal requirements of modern AI workloads.
