xFusion
The Huawei server business, spun out in 2021 and now China's #2 server vendor by shipments. Its rack-scale liquid-cooling engineering (FusionPoD) is genuinely impressive, but the lineup centers on Huawei Ascend accelerators, not NVIDIA.
- Inherited Huawei's x86/GPU server engineering team and IP when spun out in September 2021
- Building a ~$306M proprietary Zhengzhou manufacturing hub, bringing liquid-cooled FusionPoD and 256-GPU Super Node rack assembly in-house
- FusionPoD for AI: proprietary integrated-cabinet design, 100% native liquid cooling, cable-free blind-mating architecture, pPUE 1.06
- China's #2 server vendor by shipments
| Model | Platform | Form factor | Cooling |
|---|---|---|---|
| FusionPoD for AI (700 series) Up to 64 accelerators per rack, pPUE 1.06, 105kW Titanium PSUs | domestic accelerator | 47U integrated rack | DLC |
| FusionServer 2288H V7 Direct descendant of Huawei's FusionServer line | PCIe | 2U | air |
| 256-GPU Super Node Rack-scale AI training pod moving to in-house Zhengzhou manufacturing | domestic accelerator | rack-scale pod | DLC |
- Successor to Huawei's server unit, which shipped NVIDIA GPUs pre-sanctions; current lineup centers on Huawei Ascend accelerators and Kunpeng CPUs, not NVIDIA
- Not found on the US Entity List (separate legal entity since 2021), but Huawei lineage warrants independent BIS verification before any transaction
- Zhengzhou, Henan (new proprietary hub)
- Shenzhen (engineering office)
- Spun out of Huawei in 2021 to insulate the server business from sanctions exposure
- IPO on Shenzhen ChiNext in progress, ~RMB 8B raise reported
- Structurally different from Inspur/H3C/Sugon: domestic-accelerator-first strategy rather than NVIDIA integration
- Relevant to Western buyers as a rack-scale liquid-cooling design reference, not an NVIDIA hardware source
