Getworks Inc. installed and began operating a server equipped with the NVIDIA GPU Blackwell B200 in the Yuzawa GX Data Center, a containerized data center jointly operated with GX Technology Inc. in Yuzawa Town, Niigata Prefecture.
Compared to the NVIDIA GPU H200 (hereinafter referred to as “H200”) already in operation at the Yuzawa GX Data Center, the B200 offers significant performance improvements in computing power, installed memory capacity (approximately 27% increase: 141GB -> 179GB), and memory bandwidth (approximately 67% increase: 4.8TB/s -> 8TB/s), enabling significant reductions in inference processing and training times in generative AI.
Furthermore, the architecture has been revamped to significantly improve power efficiency, minimizing increases in power consumption despite dramatically improved processing power.

In a world where energy efficiency and operational costs are becoming increasingly important, the B200 will serve as the core GPU supporting next-generation generative AI infrastructure, further accelerating the use of AI.
As generative AI technology advances and becomes more widespread in society, we offer a testing and development environment to companies considering future use of the technology, as well as to companies, universities, research institutions, and other organizations considering new or additional GPU server installations.
In addition to the GPU server, customers can also bring in their own storage and network devices to create their own unique testing environment for the testing and development environment we provide.
The B200 servers being introduced this time are air-cooled, but the Yuzawa GX Data Center has also completed construction of an operating environment for water-cooled servers, and the introduction and operation of B200 water-cooled servers is scheduled for the near future.
By providing a testing and development environment with the latest and greatest computing power to as many users as possible, we will contribute to collaboration on new business models and accelerate the adoption of AI in Japan.
