This year's AI Summit was bigger and better than ever - creating a vibrant melting pot of innovation, ideation and industry-leading insight. Over two days, Boston Limited and partners showcased the complete spectrum of AI: from raw acceleration hardware and liquid-cooled hardware platforms to real-world AI applications in healthcare, sustainability and manufacturing. Here’s everything you need to know.
Our booth featured the latest AMD MI300X series - the company’s most advanced accelerator lineup to date. Designed for AI inference and HPC workloads, MI300 promises ground-breaking performance, especially in large-scale, mixed-precision training environments.
A highlight of the booth was NVIDIA’s DGX B200. Engineered for enterprise, this system delivers massive scalability and AI performance directly for businesses ready to deploy production-grade ML/AI workloads with mission-critical SLAs.
Intel’s preview of the Boston SMC server equipped with new Xeon® 6 P-Core CPUs demonstrated an ideal balance of compute density and energy efficiency - a perfect fit for AI inference and stream-based data processing.
For cloud-native, high-throughput environments, Ampere offered hands-on demos. Based on Ampere’s Altra CPUs, it delivered modern performance within optimised power envelopes - ideal for scale-out architectures.
We introduced a high-IOPS version of the Boston SMC server featuring the WEKA software stack. This combination turbo-charges access to unstructured data, supercharging training and inference workflows.
Our WD/PEAK AIO software-defined storage server put SDS front and centre - built for high-performance and flexible storage infrastructure supporting massive datasets and AI workloads at scale.
On display was the liquid-cooled workstation previously seen at GITEX Berlin, re-engineered with Castrol immersion cooling. A true testament to cooling innovation and quiet operation under heavy compute loads.
The ProLabs 8U rack combined density and modular adaptability - perfect for enterprises seeking scalable server and storage integration in AI data centres.
Our Boston Igloo line demonstrated high-capacity, AI-optimised storage systems focused on supporting massive dataset ingestion and analysis - built to meet the pace of modern data demands.
Formerica’s live immersion-cooling setup drew crowds with dynamic demos showcasing state-of-the-art cooling tech - ideal hardware alignment for energy-aware AI infrastructures.
LMTEK once again proved its leadership in high-end liquid cooling for PC systems - featuring 8 coolers designed to tame the heat of high-performance CPUs and GPUs in dense configurations, all the way to NVIDIA H200 GPUs.
A real show-stopper: real-time, immersive data visualisation on 3D Holo-Log Screens - presenting live AI data output in full 3D at the booth, enabling an intuitive view of complex datasets.
DDN offered exclusive materials detailing advanced AI data management strategies - covering scalable storage frameworks, parallel I/O optimisations and large-scale deployment best practices.
1. From Concept to Scale
Wednesday 11 June | 11:55–12:20 | AI at Scale Stage
Boston's very own Josh Hankin and Intel’s Ravi Rabheru led a powerful session on journeying from PoC to full-scale AI deployments. Covering infrastructure strategy, bottlenecks and migration best practices, it was essential listening for tech leaders in scaling AI smartly.
2. Tackling AI’s Carbon Crisis Together
Wednesday 11 June | 13:20–14:00 | Sustainable Innovation Stage
BP Castrol’s Miguel Navarro engaged attendees on the pressing issue of AI’s carbon footprint, focusing on the role of immersion cooling in reducing energy usage in data centres - a vital talk for IT sustainability architects.
3. AI Factories and the Revolution 4.0
Wednesday 11 June | 16:15–16:40 | Headliners Stage
Supermicro’s Alok Srivastava and Boston's Josh Hankin unveiled the concept of “AI Factories” - a convergence of industrial automation and AI-driven infrastructures. He highlighted shifts in manufacturing and enterprise AI strategy, energising CTOs preparing for the industrial AI leap.
4. Applied AI in Healthcare
Thursday 12 June | 10:00–10:15 | Boston Booth QS3
Boston’s own Amos Ankrah presented Boston Medical’s work on AI-driven detection of liver anomalies - an inspiring use-case showing how machine learning can transform diagnostics with speed and precision.
The AI Summit 2025 firmly demonstrated that the future of AI infrastructure lies in end-to-end capability - and Boston Limited is well positioned to deliver it. From compute accelerators and liquid-cooled platforms to storage systems and real-world AI applications, every element needed to build, scale and run modern AI workloads was represented on the booth.
A clear theme throughout the event was scalability. Whether through talks on moving AI from proof-of-concept to production or live demonstrations of high-density, high-performance hardware, the message was consistent: infrastructure must be designed to scale effortlessly, meeting the growing demands of AI-driven businesses without compromise.
Sustainability was another vital focus, with multiple sessions and demos highlighting the role of advanced thermal management and immersion cooling in reducing energy consumption across the data centre. As AI systems grow more powerful, energy-aware solutions are becoming an operational necessity - and Boston’s collaborations with innovators like Castrol, Formerica and LM TEK put the company at the forefront of this critical shift.
Beyond infrastructure, the event also showcased real breakthroughs in applied AI. Presentations covering industrial AI factories and healthcare diagnostics proved that AI is no longer theoretical - it’s solving real problems, transforming industries and improving lives.
Overall, the AI Summit reinforced Boston Limited’s commitment to providing the technology, partnerships and expertise needed to support customers at every stage of their AI journey - from development and deployment to scale and sustainability.
