Schneider Electric, a digital transformation leader in energy management and automation, has announced new data center solutions specifically designed to meet the power and GPU-intensive applications of next-generation AI cluster architectures. Expanding on its EcoStruxure™ Data Center Solutions portfolio, Schneider Electric has introduced the Prefabricated Modular EcoStruxure Pod Data Center**, which consolidates liquid cooling infrastructure, high-power bus systems, and high-density NetShelter racks. Additionally, EcoStruxure Rack Solutions include detailed rack configurations and frame designs designed to accelerate the deployment of high-performance computing (HPC) and AI data centers.
Organizations are deploying AI clusters and facing extreme rack power densities that are projected to reach 1 MW or more. Schneider Electric’s new line of solutions provides customers with integrated, data-proven, and easily scalable white space solutions that address new challenges in module and rack design, power distribution, and thermal management.
“The enormous power and density required for AI clusters create bottlenecks that require a new approach to data center architecture,” said Himamshu Prasad, senior vice president, EcoStruxure IT, Transactional & Edge and Energy Storage Center of Excellence at Schneider Electric. “Customers need integrated infrastructure solutions that not only handle extreme thermal loads and dynamic power profiles, but also deploy quickly, scale predictably, and operate efficiently and environmentally. Our innovative next-generation EcoStruxure solutions directly address these critical requirements.”
New product overview
“Building a strong ecosystem of trusted partners is essential to supporting the deployment of our advanced AI platforms, and Schneider Electric’s solutions help provide customers with a reliable, proven infrastructure to accelerate their success,” NVIDIA emphasized. “We are also actively collaborating to support the growing demands of AI factories and the transition from kW to MW racks by jointly developing future-proofing solutions such as architectures to increase scalability, density, and efficiency.”
The new solutions and a set of developed data center reference designs provide data center operators and the Schneider Electric partner ecosystem with the infrastructure and insights they need to deploy powerful AI clusters faster and more reliably, while addressing common barriers to adoption, including
These enhanced EcoStruxure offerings complement Schneider Electric’s robust line of fully integrated, end-to-end AI infrastructure solutions – from advanced hardware, intelligent software, services such as EcoCare™ and EcoConsult for data centers, to strategic industry partnerships with key IT players. Schneider Electric is the partner of choice for building efficient, resilient, scalable, and AI-optimized data centers.
