en.Wedoany.com Reported - Zoho Corporation has launched its self-developed AI server, Nathu La. Equipped with Intel Xeon 6 processors, the server aims to address cost pressures in AI infrastructure. Zoho operates 20 data centers globally (two of which are located in Europe) and expects to enhance operational efficiency through Nathu La, delivering high-performance technology at competitive prices.
Nathu La is designed based on the Open Compute Project (OCP) specifications, emphasizing modularity, thermal efficiency, and ease of maintenance. At equivalent performance levels, the server reduces energy consumption in Zoho's data centers by 12% to 18% and lowers total cost of ownership by 20% to 30%.
The server's motherboard and chassis platform are the result of five years of research and development, optimized for virtualization (VM), high-performance computing (HPC), AI inference, and storage applications. It features a custom power subsystem, a self-developed DC-SCM (Data Center Security Control Module), and a modular chassis. All components are designed by Zoho's hardware team and manufactured by electronic manufacturing services partners. The company has filed patent applications for its thermal management methods and server architecture.
Zoho Corporation is a privately held technology company founded in 1996, operating brands such as Manage Engine, Zoho, Qntrl, and Trainer Central. The company offers over 55 applications covering sales, marketing, customer support, accounting, and other business functions. It has more than 90 offices across 28 countries and employs approximately 19,000 people globally. Zoho states that it respects user privacy and has abandoned the advertising model across all its businesses, including free products. The company plans to run its own applications on the Nathu La platform in the future, enabling more precise alignment of hardware and software to improve performance, reduce costs, and enhance data control for customers.
Shailesh Davey, CEO of Zoho Corporation, stated that the company has consistently invested in building its own technology stack over the past three decades, and Nathu La is an extension of this strategy. Davey further noted that Zoho is increasingly developing and operating core components—from AI models to server infrastructure—in-house. Providing these components as an integrated offering allows the company to optimize performance, cost, and energy efficiency, ultimately aiming to deliver powerful and sustainable technology through R&D investment while maintaining affordability for customers.
