Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) has installed one of the first NVIDIA DGX B200 BasePOD configurations in Europe for its Supercomputing Centre. This cutting-edge AI infrastructure strengthens TU/e’s position as a leader in artificial intelligence, high-performance computing (HPC), and quantum computing.
Schleifenbauer is proud to contribute to one of the first European NVIDIA DGX B200 BasePOD configurations, installed at the TU/e Supercomputing Centre for AI, HPC, and quantum computing. This cutting-edge infrastructure will significantly enhance Eindhoven University of Technology’s AI research capabilities, solidifying its position as a frontrunner in the field.
For this project, MDCS.AI approached Schleifenbauer to develop a PDU solution that precisely meets the requirements of this high-performance AI environment. Bastiaan de Haan, Product Engineer at Schleifenbauer, designed a PDU based on the exact specifications provided by Michel Cosman from MDCS.AI.
“AI and HPC environments demand highly efficient and scalable power distribution. By designing this PDU specifically for the DGX B200 BasePOD infrastructure, we ensured seamless integration without compromising flexibility or reliability. At Schleifenbauer, we believe that a PDU should adapt to the server rack and IT infrastructure—not the other way around, as is often the case with standard solutions.”
— Bastiaan de Haan, Schleifenbauer
Michel Cosman, representing MDCS.AI—a multi-award-winning NVIDIA Elite Partner—travelled to Borealis Data Centre in Finland to oversee the installation of the DGX B200 BasePOD. This deployment marks a major step forward in European AI infrastructure, supporting advancements in AI model development, high-performance computing, and quantum computing.
“Schleifenbauer’s dedication and flexibility made a world of difference in this project. Despite challenges, Bastiaan and his team ensured everything was handled efficiently, with no request too difficult. Their commitment to quality and fast turnaround sets the foundation for a strong future partnership.”

As one of the first European institutions to integrate an NVIDIA DGX B200 system, TU/e strengthens its position as a leader in AI, HPC, and quantum computing. The new SPIKE-1 AI Supercomputer will play a crucial role in AI-driven research, including groundbreaking cancer research and advanced computing applications.
The main users of SPIKE-1 will be researchers from the Eindhoven AI Systems Institute (EAISI) and the Mathematics & Computer Science Faculty at TU/e. This project highlights the university’s commitment to collaborative, cross-disciplinary AI research.
The DGX B200 BasePOD is installed in a sustainable data centre in Finland, ensuring energy efficiency without compromising performance. The modular design allows for future scalability as computing demands increase. Additionally, the infrastructure includes a two-year technical refresh cycle as part of NVIDIA DGX-Ready Lifecycle Management, ensuring that the system remains at the cutting edge of AI technology.
This milestone was made possible through close collaboration with key industry partners:
PNY | NVIDIA | DDN | Magna Solutions | Borealis Data Centre | Kaisanet Oy | MDCS.AI | Schleifenbauer Products BV
Schleifenbauer PDUs were chosen for their flexibility, efficiency, and seamless integration into high-performance AI environments. Our solutions ensure precise, reliable, and energy-efficient power distribution, meeting the stringent demands of AI-driven supercomputing.
