Empowering the Global AI Computing Supply Chain

As the global platform economy enters a mature stage and Generative AI foundation models become widely adopted, the demand for GPU and AI server computing power is experiencing unprecedented, explosive growth. From ubiquitous smart mobility and sharing economy platforms to deep hardware-software integration services, the stability of underlying infrastructure has become the lifeline supporting the massive digital economy. However, accompanied by extreme computing power is a severe "thermal management crisis" driven by soaring hardware power consumption.

To help the global supply chain overcome this bottleneck, GW Instek—which celebrated its 50th anniversary milestone last year (2025) while continuously driving global brand transformation—officially announced today that Hitachi’s Environmental Testing Division, which GW Instek has exclusively represented for 30 years, upgraded and rebranded into the new strategic brand "COSMOPIA" in 2024. Leveraging 100% Japanese craftsmanship from the Shimizu plant in Shizuoka, Japan, the two companies will deliver industry-leading, extreme environmental testing solutions custom-tailored for the AI era to tier-1 server clients worldwide.

Breaking Thermal Limits: Dual Breakthrough in 300kW Air-Cooling and Next-Gen Liquid-Cooling Testing Technologies

In the R&D process of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and AI servers, thermal management and extreme environmental tolerance testing are crucial factors that determine product yield and ultimate market success. Addressing the extreme heat output of today’s AI server racks—which often reaches tens or even hundreds of kilowatts—GW Instek and the COSMOPIA R&D team collaborated closely to achieve a major breakthrough in air-cooled thermal load capacity. They have successfully developed advanced equipment capability supporting up to a challenging "300kW thermal load." This means that even under extreme operating conditions with intense heat dissipation, the system maintains sub-degree precision temperature control, perfectly simulating the harsh environments experienced when AI servers operate at full load.

Meanwhile, eyeing the inevitable transition of next-generation high-density computing toward liquid cooling, GW Instek has established robust technical reserves and engineering capabilities to deliver comprehensive liquid-cooling test solutions. This technological breakthrough not only helps Tier-1 ODM/OEM manufacturers overcome thermal boundaries for next-generation chips and systems, but also serves as an indispensable strategic testing backbone for global tech giants executing software-hardware integration services across the AI ecosystem.

Beyond Representation: Delivering Factory-Grade Technical Expertise and Service Support

“We deeply understand that test equipment is the backbone of our customers’ R&D and production lines. GW Instek is not merely a middleman distributor; we are a dedicated technology partner to our clients,” stated an executive at GW Instek. Building on 30 years of accumulated expertise, GW Instek has established a factory-certified technical team capable of independent problem-solving. Rather than waiting through lengthy back-and-forth communications with overseas factories, clients benefit from GW Instek’s technical experts who can independently diagnose and resolve complex equipment issues with 100% autonomy. Upholding two core values—real-time service responsiveness and exceptional customer experience—GW Instek offers rapid on-site maintenance while prioritizing long-term user satisfaction across equipment operations and hardware-software integration.

Looking ahead, GW Instek will continue to leverage COSMOPIA’s top-tier Japanese craftsmanship alongside its own robust local engineering and service capabilities. By fully empowering AI innovation, GW Instek stands shoulder-to-shoulder with global tech giants to usher in a new era of computing power filled with boundless possibilities.
