Schneider Electric Unveils Modular UPS For AI, Data Centres

Schneider Electric has announced the launch of its new Galaxy VXL.

The company said that  the new Galaxy VXL is a highly efficient, compact, modular, scalable, and redundant 500-1250 kW (400V) 3-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS), complete with enhanced cybersecurity, software, and safety features.

Senior vice president, Data Center Systems, Schneider Electric, Tarunjeet Sarao said, “As dependency on large-scale infrastructure systems grows at an unprecedented rate, it’s crucial that customers can access the most sustainable, resilient, and efficient technologies to safeguard their critical systems, while minimizing their energy and environmental impact.

“Our new Galaxy VXL UPS combines a compact, innovative, and highly efficient design with enhanced safety features, providing world-leading power protection for a wide range of AI, data center, and industrial applications. This ensures the high-density workloads of the future are supported by unparalleled levels of reliability. At just 1.2m2 with a power density of up to 1042 kW/m2, Galaxy VXL UPS sets a new benchmark in efficient, sustainable, and advanced UPS technologies. Available immediately in all 400V IEC regions worldwide, Galaxy VXL delivers the highest levels of power performance for AI, colocation, and hyperscale data center environments, as well as large-scale critical infrastructure and electrical systems within commercial buildings and industrial facilities.

“With its industry-first compact design, high-density power provision, and AI-load tolerant design, Galaxy VXL maximises uptime and availability for the most energy-intensive infrastructure systems – being capable of powering up to 1.25 MW in one frame, and up to 5MW with four units running in parallel, while increasing both operational and energy efficiencies to help minimise customers’ total cost of ownership (TCO).”
