Hopsworks & Supermicro Collaborate to Enable High Performance Sovereign AI

April 7, 2025

Hopsworks, the leading AI Lakehouse, and Supermicro, a global leader in high-performance server technology, are working together to deliver a next-generation AI infrastructure platform, specifically designed to meet sovereign data requirements. By combining Supermicro’s GPU-optimized servers, with Hopsworks’ advanced GPU sharing and scheduling capabilities, enterprises can now maximize efficiency, scalability and cost-effectiveness of their AI workloads. 

At the HIMSS conference in March 2025, the companies showcased real-time applications of Hopsworks AI solutions integrated with Supermicro hardware, including use cases such as a medical copilot and real-time recommendations.

Key benefits of the partnership:

  1. Enterprise-Grade AI for Sovereign Data: Hopsworks provides governance, lineage, and compliance capabilities, seamlessly integrating Supermicro’s on-premises and sovereign cloud AI deployments. This is ideal for industries with strict data regulations, such as finance, healthcare, and defense. As Europe advances digital sovereignty, this partnership ensures AI development aligns with GDPR, the AI Act, and Europe's data security goals.
  2. Optimized AI Performance and Cost Efficiency: The solution reduces infrastructure costs through Supermicro’s energy-efficient computing, while Hopsworks enhances data management, feature engineering, and model training for exceptional performance.
  3. Scalable AI Data Pipelines &Compute: Supermicro’s storage-optimized servers accelerate high-throughput data processing, supporting Hopsworks’ feature store and real-time AI workloads. 
  4. End-to-End AI Deployment & Monitoring: Enterprises can train, deploy, and monitor AI models efficiently, leveraging Supermicro’s high-speed networking and NVMe storage, to eliminate data bottlenecks. 
  5. Maximize GPU Utilization: Hopsworks helps AI teams make full use of Supermicro’s multi-GPU servers—enabling efficient resource sharing, faster experimentation, and support for larger model training.
“For reasons of cost and security, an increasing number of AI systems are being developed and operated in sovereign data centers. Compared to the public cloud, the GPUs are cheaper and the hardware is better, particularly NVMe data storage and networking. Hopsworks is the leading sovereign AI platform, supporting the whole AI cycle from raw data to training and inference, at the highest performance. Given our shared values on performance, it is natural for us to work with the highest performance hardware provider for AI systems - Supermicro.” - Jim Dowling, CEO & Founder at Hopsworks. 

This collaboration forms a critical component of Hopsworks and Supermicro’s broader strategy to expand their presence in the rapidly growing AI market across various industries. By leveraging their combined strengths, the two companies aim to deliver high-performance AI solutions that drive scalability, efficiency, and resource optimization for enterprise-level AI workloads.
