Supermicro expands San Jose campus

Super Micro Computer said Monday it is adding its largest U.S. campus in San Jose, expanding the company’s Silicon Valley base for artificial intelligence server production. (supermicro.com) The new campus covers about 32.8 acres and more than 714,000 square feet near the company’s headquarters. Supermicro said it will use the site for system design, manufacturing, testing, service and global distribution. (supermicro.com) The property is at 2350 Qume Drive in San Jose, where Supermicro has leased a large office and industrial complex for its artificial intelligence infrastructure operations. (bisnow.com) (eastbaytimes.com) Supermicro said the site will support its Data Center Building Block Solutions, a business that packages servers, racks, cooling, networking and related gear into ready-to-deploy data-center systems. The company said the campus is meant to speed delivery of next-generation AI infrastructure. (supermicro.com) (convergedigest.com) The expansion makes the San Jose project Supermicro’s fourth Bay Area site and lifts its regional footprint to nearly 4 million square feet. The company said the buildout will create hundreds of U.S. jobs in engineering, manufacturing and business operations. (supermicro.com) (stocktitan.net) The move lands as hardware makers race to add capacity for AI data centers, which require dense server racks, power systems and cooling equipment that can be assembled and tested before shipment. Supermicro has been pitching that integrated approach as customers order larger clusters. (supermicro.com) (engineering.com) Local real-estate coverage described the campus as a major North San Jose lease at a time when office vacancies remain elevated, giving a large technology tenant room to convert space to operating use. (bisnow.com) (mercurynews.com) For Supermicro, the San Jose expansion ties the company’s AI push back to the city where it is headquartered: more floor space, more assembly lines and more room to ship complete systems from one campus.
