Schneider Electric and NVIDIA Launch AI-Ready Solutions to Decarbonize Data Centers

Schneider Electric has teamed up with NVIDIA to unveil advanced AI-ready solutions aimed at decarbonizing data centers and tackling the rising energy demands of AI infrastructure. The collaboration features a high-efficiency reference design optimized for NVIDIA's Blackwell chip and the introduction of the Galaxy VXL UPS, a compact and scalable uninterruptible power supply.

“The energy and environmental impact of AI is growing at an unprecedented pace,” said Pankaj Sharma, EVP, Data Centers & Networks at Schneider Electric. “It’s paramount we bend the energy curve downward by finding new ways to decarbonize data centers and the digital infrastructure.”

The GB200 NVL72 reference design supports liquid-cooled AI clusters with densities up to 132 kW per rack, enabling efficient deployment of hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise data centers. Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s founder and CEO, emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating, “Our work with Schneider Electric enables customers to design the world’s technological advances on stable and resilient infrastructure. Together, we’re creating AI data centers purpose-built for accelerated computing.”

The Galaxy VXL UPS offers a space-saving solution with 52% less footprint than industry standards and supports up to 1.25 MW per frame, making it ideal for space-constrained, critical AI workloads.

Schneider Electric’s approach includes renewable energy sourcing, on-site power generation, advanced liquid cooling technology, and sustainability consulting to help clients achieve and exceed decarbonization goals.

“From the grid to the chip, to the chiller and beyond, we are setting new standards for AI infrastructure while protecting the environment,” Sharma added. By integrating energy intelligence with sustainable solutions, Schneider Electric and NVIDIA aim to shape the future of AI-enabled data centers.
