Submer, the market‑leading end‑to‑end AI infrastructure company, has announced a strategic partnership with edge‑intelligence pioneer ZEDEDA to develop rapidly deployable, liquid‑cooled modular edge AI infrastructure for high‑density GPU workloads. The collaboration aims to bring scalable, high‑performance AI capabilities to environments where conventional data centers cannot operate from industrial sites to offshore platforms and remote telecom deployments.
The joint solution integrates Submer’s full‑stack AI infrastructure platform including immersion and direct‑to‑chip liquid‑cooled systems capable of supporting racks exceeding 100kW with ZEDEDA’s Edge Intelligence Platform, which orchestrates, secures, and manages edge AI deployments at scale worldwide. The result is a turnkey, field‑deployable system that brings cloud‑grade AI performance to virtually any location.
“AI is moving out of cloud data centers and into real‑world operations. Deploying it anywhere requires purpose‑built infrastructure.”
— Patrick Smets, CEO, Submer
“By combining Submer’s liquid‑cooled high‑density AI infrastructure with ZEDEDA’s edge intelligence platform, we’re enabling organizations to deploy scalable, resilient AI infrastructure anywhere it is needed,” said Submer CEO Patrick Smets.
The modular containerized systems will support a range of validated hardware and GPU partners while offering customers the option to bring their own hardware. ZEDEDA’s orchestration layer adds software‑defined resilience: instead of relying solely on hardware redundancy, the platform detects failures and redistributes workloads across clusters, improving uptime, increasing GPU utilization, and lowering total cost of ownership.
“The world’s most critical operations generate massive data far from any data center. Our collaboration with Submer makes true edge AI possible.”
— Said Ouissal, CEO & Founder, ZEDEDA
ZEDEDA founder and CEO Said Ouissal emphasized the importance of enabling AI outside the data center: “As intelligence moves from the cloud into the physical world, the ability to run AI anywhere in a remote factory, an offshore platform, or across telecom networks is a fundamental requirement.”
Submer’s liquid cooling, which requires zero direct water consumption, enables sustainable deployment even in harsh or resource‑constrained environments. The companies are already engaging initial industrial and telecommunications customers, with pilot projects expected to begin later this year.
