Electronics manufacturing giant Foxconn East partnership with artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure company Zettabyte in a strategic investment to expand energy-efficient AI computing solutions worldwide.
The partnership, announced Monday, December 23, combines Foxconn, the world’s largest electronics manufacturer, with Zettabyte, a provider of AI data center software and infrastructure solutions. The collaboration focuses on Zettabyte’s Zware software platform, which optimizes GPU performance while reducing power consumption in AI data centers.
“We are thrilled to partner with Foxconn, a company renowned for manufacturing excellence and innovation,” said Kenneth Tai, president of Zettabyte. “This partnership will accelerate the deployment of our technology, meeting the growing demand for high-performance, energy-efficient AI computing globally. »
According to at Foxconn“Zware’s ability to improve AI data center operations while significantly reducing power consumption opens the possibility of setting new benchmarks for the future of AI data centers.”
Financial terms of the investment were not disclosed.
Like PYMNTS previously reported, Foxconn warned of weakening consumer electronics demand in March 2023, projecting stable revenues and announcing plans to boost investment outside China amid shifting production strategies. Foxconn is a supplier of Apple devices. China planned to bar iPhone from state agencies and companies in September 2023, threatening Apple’s access to a market that generates about 20% of its revenue.
Foxconn declared turnover of 6.162 trillion New Taiwan Dollars (about $188 billion) in 2023 and ranks 32nd among Fortune Global 500 companies. The Taiwan-based company was established in 1974.
Zettabyte’s Zware software is designed to optimize GPU performance while maximizing computational output in AI operations. The company describes itself as a global innovator in AI data center technology, with its flagship software setting “a new standard for sustainable and efficient AI computing.”
The partnership aligns with Foxconn’s commitment to advancing sustainable technologies. Through this collaboration, the companies aim to expand the adoption of energy-efficient AI solutions worldwide.
Zettabyte recently announced additional partnerships with Pegatron and Chief Telecom. The company’s technology aims to provide solutions that redefine efficiency and sustainability in AI data centers.
