01 Leading-edge data center reference design

In the first phase of the collaboration, Schneider Electric will introduce a data center reference design tailored for Nvidia’s Accelerated Compute Cluster for data processing, engineering simulation, electronic design automation, computer-aided drug design, and generating AI that will ensure commissioning and reliable operation of high-voltage distribution systems, liquid cooling systems, and control system designs in high-density clusters.

UFC911-B106 Based on this collaboration, Schneider Electric will provide data center owners and operators with the necessary tools and resources to seamlessly integrate new AI solutions with their infrastructure from day to day, further improving deployment efficiency and ensuring reliable operation throughout the life cycle.

To meet the changing demands of AI workloads, the reference design will provide a complete framework for deploying Nvidia’s accelerated computing platform within the data center to optimize performance, scalability, and sustainability.

Based on this design guide, partners, engineers, and data center leaders can deploy it not only in data center rooms with high-density AI servers, but also in new data center projects where liquid-cooled AI clusters are deployed.

We look forward to taking this cooperation as an opportunity to work with Schneider Electric to jointly create the reference design of the intelligent computing Center using Nvidia’s new generation of accelerated computing technology, and further tap the potential of AI to help the innovative development and digital transformation of various industries.
