Schneider Electric has unveiled significant advancements in its AI-ready data centre solutions to tackle the pressing energy and sustainability challenges posed by the growing demand for AI systems.
The latest innovations bolster the company’s mission to decarbonise digital infrastructure enabling customers to deploy more sustainable, AI-ready data centre solutions at scale. It introduced a new data centre reference design, co-developed with NVIDIA, which will support liquid-cooled, high-density AI clusters of up to 132 kW per rack.
Optimised for NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL72 and Blackwell chips, the design streamlines planning and deployment with proven and validated architectures which addresses unique the challenges of utilising liquid cooling at scale. Also, unveiled its new Galaxy VXL uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
This UPS is the industry’s most compact and high-density unit, designed for AI, data centre, and large-scale electrical workloads. Offering a 52 per cent space saving compared with the industry average, the Galaxy VXL UPS has a power density of up to 1042 kW/m².
This scalable, 1.25 MW modular UPS is engineered to deliver efficient power in a smaller, high-density footprint.
These advancements focuses on three key areas: developing an energy strategy for the AI era, deploying advanced infrastructure, and providing sustainability consulting. They aim to benefit data centre owners and operators as they implement energy-efficient, high-density infrastructure to support AI workloads sustainably.
