PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ASUS AI POD XA GB721-E2 NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 Rack-Scale AI Supercomputer, 72 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs, 36 NVIDIA Grace CPUs, 5th-Gen NVLink, ConnectX-8 SuperNIC, BlueField-3 DPU, 48U MGX Rack, Liquid Cooled (XA GB721-E2)
ASUS AI POD with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72: Built for AI Reasoning
The ASUS XA GB721-E2 is the ASUS AI POD full-rack system built on NVIDIA GB300 NVL72. It combines 72 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs and 36 NVIDIA Grace CPUs in a liquid-cooled, 48U NVIDIA MGX-compliant rack with 18 compute trays and nine NVLink switch trays, engineered for trillion-parameter AI reasoning, LLM training and inference.
SourceIT supplies the ASUS XA GB721-E2 in Singapore as a project sale: site readiness, configuration, delivery and ASUS professional services are scoped and quoted per deployment.
One NVLink Domain at 1.8 TB/s
Fifth-generation NVIDIA NVLink links every GPU in the rack at 1.8 TB/s, so 72 GPUs work as one unified, high-bandwidth fabric. NVIDIA rates GB300 NVL72 at 1.5x the AI performance of GB200 NVL72.
ConnectX-8 SuperNICs and BlueField-3 DPUs
NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNICs with NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand or Spectrum-X Ethernet provide low-latency scale-out to multi-rack clusters, with BlueField-3 DPUs for accelerated data movement.
Liquid-to-Air or Liquid-to-Liquid Cooling
Manifold-based liquid cooling is offered in liquid-to-air and liquid-to-liquid designs, so the rack can be matched to data halls with or without facility water.
Rapid Deployment with ACC and AIDC
ASUS Control Center (ACC) and ASUS Infrastructure Deployment Center (AIDC) provide zero-touch onboarding, centralized configuration and rack-scale deployment automation, and ASUS backs the rack with end-to-end design, integration and lifecycle services.

Compatibility & Software Support
NVIDIA AI Software
The system runs the NVIDIA accelerated computing stack, including CUDA, NVIDIA AI Enterprise, NIM microservices and NGC containers for arm64.
Arm64 Architecture
The Grace CPU is an Arm Neoverse V2 processor, so operating system and container images are arm64 builds. Check any x86-only commercial software before ordering.
ASUS AI POD Ecosystem
ASUS offers storage, networking, cooling and management as part of the AI POD, using validated reference architectures for predictable performance and simpler scaling.
Site Requirements & Ordering Information
What to Plan For
- High-density three-phase power for a rack in the 130 kW class
- Facility water loop for liquid-to-liquid cooling, or space and airflow for liquid-to-air units
- Floor loading, delivery path and lift access for a fully populated 48U rack
- Cluster fabric, storage and management networks

Frequently Asked Questions - ASUS XA GB721-E2
What is the ASUS XA GB721-E2?
The ASUS AI POD rack built on NVIDIA GB300 NVL72: 72 Blackwell Ultra GPUs and 36 Grace CPUs in a liquid-cooled 48U rack.
How is it different from the ASUS ESC NM2N721-E1?
The ESC NM2N721-E1 is the earlier GB200 NVL72 rack with Blackwell GPUs. The XA GB721-E2 uses Blackwell Ultra GPUs on the GB300 NVL72 platform.
Does it need facility water?
Not always. ASUS offers liquid-to-liquid cooling for sites with facility water and liquid-to-air cooling for sites without.
How do I buy it in Singapore?
Email sales@sourceit.com.sg. SourceIT will arrange sizing, site readiness and a formal quotation.
