LIQID SmartStack 20 Overview

As AI and accelerated workloads expand across more hosts, infrastructure teams need shared GPU capacity that stays flexible under changing demand.

Shared GPU Infrastructure for Multi-Host Environments

The LIQID SmartStack 20 is a composable GPU solution for GPU pooling in larger production environments. It is built to support shared accelerator access across multiple servers, with deployment relevance where AI, analytics and other accelerated workloads compete for capacity.

Designed to Extend the Shared Pool

Its PCIe 5.0 architecture and PCIe Gen5 x16 HBA host interface support a high-bandwidth path into the pool. That makes it a practical fit when GPU resources need to move between hosts without locking accelerators to fixed assignments.

Operational Gains from Centralised GPU Allocation

For infrastructure owners, this creates a larger shared pool that can be assigned where demand is highest. It supports better utilisation, simpler resource allocation and a cleaner approach to scaling mixed AI and compute workloads across the platform.

If you are planning shared accelerator infrastructure, our team can help you assess the LIQID SmartStack 20 and align it to your workload and host environment.

LIQID SmartStack 20 Key Features​

LIQID SmartStack 20 is a GPU pooling platform for enterprise compute environments, designed to improve how shared accelerator resources are presented and consumed across PCIe-based infrastructure.

Shared GPU Pooling

GPU Resource Pooling
The platform centralizes GPU resources into a shared pool so compute environments can allocate accelerator capacity more flexibly.

PCIe Gen5 Fabric
PCIe 5.0 connectivity provides the transport foundation for high-speed GPU pooling within modern server and acceleration architectures.

Host Integration Model
A PCIe Gen5 x16 HBA host interface aligns the platform with host systems built for direct PCIe accelerator connectivity.

Workload-Oriented Acceleration
The architecture is intended to support enterprise workloads that benefit from shared GPU access rather than fixed accelerator assignment.

Operational Control

Platform-Centric Deployment
The system is positioned as an infrastructure platform, helping teams integrate pooled GPU capacity into existing enterprise environments.

Architecture-Led Scaling
Shared accelerator design supports scaling GPU access as demand changes across connected compute resources.

Infrastructure Alignment
The PCIe-based design helps maintain consistency with enterprise systems that standardize on Gen5 connectivity.

LIQID SmartStack 20 Deployment Scenarios

LIQID SmartStack 20 is a shared GPU platform for larger AI and analytics environments that need flexible accelerator access across multiple hosts. It fits teams scaling concurrent workloads without locking GPUs to fixed servers.

Composable AI pods in data centres

Large data centre teams use SmartStack 20 when AI demand rises across more hosts and utilisation must stay high. Up to 20 GPUs can be pooled to support broader resource sharing and tighter allocation control.

Multi-team AI and ML development estates

Software engineering groups often need one accelerator pool for many teams, models and test cycles. SmartStack 20 helps avoid fixed GPU assignments, making shared access easier as development activity and concurrency increase.

Network AI and analytics platforms in telecoms

Telecoms environments running network AI, analytics and automation need flexible GPU capacity across several compute hosts. SmartStack 20 supports that mix by centralising accelerator supply instead of duplicating hardware for each use case.

Shared render and VFX production farms

Media and entertainment teams face shifting demand between rendering, VFX and content processing jobs. SmartStack 20 lets larger production estates move GPU resources between hosts more quickly, improving utilisation during busy delivery windows.

Concurrent quant, risk and AI workloads in finance

Finance platforms often run competing analytics, risk and AI workloads that cannot wait for isolated GPU silos. SmartStack 20 provides a larger shared pool across more hosts, helping sustain access as demand grows.
