Lunit and Discovery Life Sciences Collaborate to Expand AI-Powered Tissue Analysis for Biopharma Research

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MiTAC Computing Technology Corporation, a subsidiary of MiTAC Holdings Corporation (TWSE: 3706) and a global leader in high-performance server solutions, today unveiled its latest AI infrastructure innovations at the 2026 OCP Global Summit, Booth D22, under the theme "Scaling Open AI Infra with Full-Stack Innovation."

Large-scale AI clusters and AI factories demand more than compute performance alone. MiTAC Computing takes a full-stack approach, transforming fragmented infrastructure into a cohesive, scalable foundation designed for deployment, management, and expansion.

From Scalable AI Factories to Modular Data Centers: Flexible Infrastructure for Every Scale

As AI workloads expand from training, inference, and RAG to Agentic AI, infrastructure needs vary by scale and deployment environment. MiTAC Computing's AI Infrastructure Stack spans compute, storage, and liquid-cooled servers through open platform firmware, operating systems, AI software ecosystems, and AI Pod management, providing a consistent, scalable foundation for diverse workloads.

For large-scale, centralized AI environments, MiTAC Computing delivers its Scalable AI Factory, combining full-stack capabilities with rack-scale integration to support high-density computing and continued expansion. For distributed sites or rapid buildouts, MiTAC offers modular data center solutions. The TonoForge™Modular Data Center, developed with Tonomia, incorporates MiTAC G4826Z5 liquid-cooled AI servers and rack-scale integration. Its proven 12-week deployment demonstrates how the modular approach can accelerate the deployment of high-performance GPU AI clusters.

From centralized AI factories to distributed modular data centers, MiTAC gives enterprises the flexibility to build AI infrastructure around their compute requirements, site conditions, and deployment needs.

Breaking Thermal Barriers with Advanced Liquid Cooling

Higher compute density and rack-scale AI factories are making advanced cooling critical to unlocking greater compute performance. MiTAC Computing is showcasing multiple advanced liquid cooling solutions, including a PoC with ZutaCore that integrates the MiTAC G4826Z5 with ZutaCore® HyperCool® Waterless Two-Phase Liquid Cooling technology. Using a dielectric fluid that changes phase from liquid to vapor directly at the chip, the technology removes heat generated by CPUs and GPUs at the source.

The technology demonstrates the potential to support more than 4,000W per chip and average heat flux exceeding 250W/cm². Under defined operating conditions, an annualized model indicates a pPUE as low as 1.03, highlighting the value of two-phase cooling for increasingly power-dense AI infrastructure.
