Schneider Electric announced new data centre solutions specifically engineered to meet the intensive demands of next-generation AI cluster architectures. Evving its EcoStruxure?? Data Centre Solutions portfolio, Schneider Electric introduced a Prefabricated Modular EcoStruxure Pod Data Centre solution that consolidates infrastructure for liquid cooling, high-power busway and high-density NetShelter Racks.
In addition, EcoStruxure Rack Solutions incorporate detailed rack configurations and frameworks designed to accelerate High Performance Computing (HPC) and AI data centre deployments. The new EcoStruxure Pod data Centre and EcoStruxure Rack solutions are now available globally. Organizations are deploying AI clusters and grappling with extreme rack power densities, which are projected to reach 1MW and beyond.
Schneider Electric's new line of solutions equips customers with integrated, data-validated, and easily scaled white space solutions that address new challenges in pod and rack design, power distribution and thermal management. New Product Overview: Prefabricated Modular ecoStruxure Pod Data centre: Prefabricated, scalable pod architecture enables operators to deploy high-density racks, supporting pods up to 1MW and beyond, at scale. Engineered-to-order, the new pod infrastructure offers flexibility and supports liquid cooling, power busway, complex cabling, as well as hot aisle containment, InRow and rear door heat exchanger cooling architectures.
NetShelter Rack PDU Advanced: These power distribution units have been updated to support the high-current power needs of AI servers. Designed for efficient rack layouts, the NetShelter rack PDU Advanced offers compact vertical and horizontal models with higher counts of dedicated circuits. Intelligent operational features now enabled by Schneider Electric's Network Management Card enhance security and provide seamless integration to EcoStruxure IT.
NetShelter Open Architecture: This Open Compute Project (OCP) inspired rack architecture is available as a configure-to-order solution and includes open rack standards, power shelf and in-rack busbar. As part of this, a new Schneider Electric rack system has also been developed to support the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 system that utilizes the NVIDIA MGX architecture in its rack design, integrating Schneider Electric into NVIDIA's HGX and MGX ecosystems for the first time. The new solutions and suite of engineered data centre reference designs equip data centre operators and Schneider Electric's partner ecosystem with the infrastructure and information needed to deploy powerful AI clusters faster and more reliably while addressing common barriers to adoption, including: Reliable power and cooling for AI workloads; Deployment complexity and risk; Speed to market and supply chain resilience; Skills gap in managing advanced infrastructure.
These enhanced EcoStruxure offerings add to Schneider Electric's robust line of fully integrated, end-to-end infrastructure.
