Lambda emphasized the strategic value of Supermicro’s server portfolio in achieving its mission to deliver “infinite-scale compute” for clients. The deployment at Cologix’s Columbus data center underscores the region’s growing role as an AI innovation hub, with low-latency connectivity and expanded infrastructure supporting rapid deployment of next-generation accelerators.
