Aivres vs KAYTUS for NVIDIA AI servers.
Side by side from our vendor index: what each firm actually designs, which NVIDIA platforms it ships, and the identity facts that shape a procurement decision. Sources and full detail live on each profile.
Aivres
Aivres is the US-domiciled continuation of Inspur Systems, designing HGX and NVL72 systems from Fremont and named in NVIDIA's own builder lists. The hard caveat: US Commerce named Aivres itself as a covered Inspur subsidiary on the Entity List in March 2025, and HPE's lawsuit over the rename is pending. Clear it with counsel before procurement.
- Joint-design-manufacturing model with in-house product design and engineering teams; claims 2,000+ full-lifecycle qualification tests
- Ships self-branded HGX 8-GPU server designs (KR6288 independently reviewed by ServeTheHome, tray-serviceable GPU design)
- Designs full rack-scale GB200/GB300 NVL72 systems (KRS8000V3/KRS8500V3) in ORv3 liquid-cooled racks
- Showed a Vera Rubin NVL72 rack (KRS8000V4) fully liquid-cooled at GTC 2026
KAYTUS
KAYTUS is the Singapore-based international arm carrying Inspur-lineage server designs to markets outside China, sharing hardware with Aivres under different model names. Commercially available in 70+ countries and technically solid, with parentage every compliance team must examine given the Inspur group's Entity-List status.
- Claims 3 factories, 2 R&D centers and a joint-design-manufacturing model; no factory or R&D addresses published
- Genuine in-house liquid-cooling platform engineering documented in V3-series materials (cold plates, CDUs, memory cooling)
- Hardware shared with US-market sister brand Aivres under different model names (HPE lawsuit cites Aivres KR2280-X2 as equivalent to KAYTUS KR2280V2)
- Delivered a 100-cabinet liquid-cooled datacenter in Europe in 4 months (Jan 2026); launched a gigawatt-scale prefabricated AI factory concept at ISC 2026
The right vendor depends on the workload, the facility and the timeline, not the brand. The assessment sizes both against your requirements and returns quoted pricing, with our margin disclosed.
