Fujitsu Launches Sovereign AI Infrastructure with Advanced MONAKA CPU and Server for Japan and Europe
  • Fujitsu is unveiling a global sovereign AI infrastructure built around the FUJITSU-MONAKA CPU, with availability kicking off in November 2026 and a broader rollout across data centers, enterprises, academia, HPC, and defense sectors in Japan and Europe.

  • Alongside the processor, Fujitsu introduces the FUJITSU-MONAKA Server, a Made-in-Japan server designed to deliver sovereign AI infrastructure with high reliability, traceability, and transparent supply chains through domestic manufacturing.

  • The MONAKA Server will be designed and manufactured in Japan at Kasashima Plant, offered in 2U dual-CPU and 1U single/double-CPU configurations starting in November 2026, optimized for AI agents, AI inference, and energy-efficient cooling.

  • 1U models feature disaggregated memory and accelerators via CDI/CXL, operate in ambient temperatures up to 40C with air cooling and up to 45C with water cooling, and can cut cooling power by as much as 80%, addressing AI memory shortages.

  • The MONAKA processor supports confidential computing and Arm CCA, enabling secure AI use in multi-tenant environments and protecting data in memory from privileged software.

  • Fujitsu positions the product as a sustainable, sovereign AI infrastructure that supports autonomy and accountability in Japan and Europe for data centers, enterprises, academia, and HPC, contributing to national security and AI infrastructure expansion.

  • The MONAKA Server emphasizes space efficiency and power effectiveness, suitable for air-cooled data centers and scalable through future resource pooling and advanced cooling technologies.

  • Fujitsu plans a vertically integrated sovereign AI stack—Kozuchi AI platform, Takane, and industry-specific models—centered on traceability, security governance, and domestic data management.

  • The MONAKA initiative is linked to a NEDO-supported project, underscoring government-backed innovation and domestic development.

  • The FUJITSU-MONAKA CPU reaches up to 3.8 GHz with memory at 8800 MT/s, delivering twice the AI inference throughput and improved power efficiency versus competing CPUs, reducing required servers and power by about half for similar workloads.

  • This CPU uses a 3D-stacked design with a 2-nanometer core and 5-nanometer cache/I/O, delivering up to 3.8 GHz, 8800 MT/s memory, and hardware AI inference acceleration.

  • For academia and HPC, Fujitsu will offer 2U multi-node servers (two CPUs per node, four nodes total) in Japan and Europe for high-performance workloads like surrogate modeling and fluid analysis.
