法国的Bull公司与德国Schwarz集团旗下IT部门Schwarz Digits计划共同构建一个欧洲AI和云基础设施栈。该栈将涵盖从服务器到软件的全层级。Bull公司周二表示，双方已签署谅解备忘录（MoU）。他们在德国政府于柏林举办的2026年数字峰会上宣布了这一合作。
France’s Bull and Schwarz Digits, the IT arm of Germany’s Schwarz Group, plan to build a European AI and cloud infrastructure stack together. It would run from the servers to the software. The two companies agreed a memorandum of understanding (MoU), Bull said on Tuesday. They announced it at the German government’s 2026 Digital Summit in Berlin.
双方表示，该合作旨在让欧洲组织能够开发和扩展AI及企业级计算，特别面向受监管和战略领域。敏感数据、基础设施和运营将保持在欧洲司法管辖权和控制之下。
The companies say the partnership aims to let European organisations develop and scale AI and enterprise computing. It targets regulated and strategic sectors in particular. Sensitive data, infrastructure and operations would stay under European jurisdiction and control.
Schwarz Digits首席营收官Bernie Wagner表示：“我们共同证明，欧洲能够完全按自己的条件交付高性能创新。”
“Together, we demonstrate that Europe can deliver high-performance innovation entirely on its own terms,” said Bernie Wagner, chief revenue officer of Schwarz Digits.
各自贡献 Schwarz Digits（其母公司拥有Lidl和Kaufland超市连锁）将贡献其STACKIT云平台。Bull将带来其在大型项目上积累的AI和高性能计算经验。
What each company brings Schwarz Digits, whose parent group owns the Lidl and Kaufland supermarket chains, will contribute its STACKIT cloud. Bull will bring its experience in AI and high-performance computing on large projects.
服务器将在Bull位于法国昂热的工厂制造，该工厂生产机架级AI系统。服务器将采用Bull的直接液冷技术。
The servers would be built at Bull’s factory in Angers, France, which produces rack-scale AI systems. They would use Bull’s direct liquid cooling technology.
Bull公司表示，今年6月，其系统在Green500能效超算排名中包揽前三名。该公司还在德国建造了JUPITER超级计算机，Bull称其为欧洲算力最强的超算。
In June, Bull’s systems took the top three places in the Green500 ranking of energy-efficient supercomputers, the company said. It also built the JUPITER supercomputer in Germany, which Bull calls Europe’s most powerful.
Bull的BullSequana AI平台也将通过STACKIT Marketplace向企业和公共部门客户销售。
Bull’s BullSequana AI platform will also be sold through the STACKIT Marketplace to companies and public-sector customers.
Bull首席执行官Emmanuel Le Roux表示：“这一有助于构建欧洲主权数字基础设施的合作，体现了我们对一个有韧性且有竞争力的欧洲生态系统的承诺。”
“This partnership, which contributes to building a sovereign digital infrastructure in Europe, reflects our commitment to a resilient and competitive European ecosystem,” said Emmanuel Le Roux, chief executive of Bull.
除了这些初步举措外，两家公司还打算基于开放计算项目（OCP）标准共同设计服务器。它们还计划在 SAP RISE 集成和大型高性能计算项目上开展合作。此外，它们还将探索量子计算集成。
What comes next Beyond these first steps, the two companies intend to co-design servers based on Open Compute Project (OCP) standards. They also plan to work on SAP RISE integration and large high-performance computing projects. And they will explore quantum computing integration.
Bull 公司报告称，2024 年营收约 7.2 亿欧元，拥有 3000 名员工，业务遍及 32 个国家。此次宣布是在总理弗里德里希·默茨表示德国和欧洲必须更快构建自主 AI 的第二天作出的。
Bull reports about €720m in revenue and 3,000 staff in 32 countries. The announcement came a day after Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Germany and Europe must build their own AI more quickly.
