Data Center Reference Design for Large-Scale Clusters Released
Digital Twin Platform Connects to NVIDIA Omniverse
Schneider Electric and NVIDIA Partner to Drive Efficiency and Scalability of Data Center Infrastructure Operating Systems
Schneider Electric announced on the 11th that it has signed a partnership with AI semiconductor company NVIDIA to optimize data center infrastructure and establish a foundation for digital twin technology.
Schneider Electric will be the first to release a data center reference design based on NVIDIA’s advanced AI technology and its expertise in data center infrastructure through this collaboration. “We expect this to be a significant milestone in the industry’s evolution, redefining the standard for deploying and operating AI within the data center ecosystem,” Schneider said.
The design is optimized for NVIDIA's accelerated computing clusters built for data processing, engineering simulation, electronic design automation, and more. In particular, the focus was on implementing high-power distribution, liquid cooling systems, and control functions that ensure simple commissioning and stable operation in high-density clusters.
Schneider Electric's data center reference designs can be used by partners, engineers, and enterprises to reference existing data center operations and to build new data centers optimized for high-density AI servers and liquid-cooled AI clusters.
“Working with Schneider Electric to deliver AI data center designs using next-generation NVIDIA accelerated computing technologies,” said Ian Buck, vice president of Hyperscale and HPC at NVIDIA. “This provides the infrastructure organizations need to harness the potential of AI and drive innovation and digital transformation across industries.”
Additionally, Schneider Electric plans to connect its subsidiary AVEVA's digital twin platform to NVIDIA Omniverse to provide an integrated environment for virtual simulation and collaboration. This enables designers, engineers, and data center operators to collaborate seamlessly, accelerating the design and deployment of complex systems while reducing time to market and costs.
“Combining Schneider Electric’s expertise in data center solutions with NVIDIA’s leadership in AI technologies will help enterprises overcome the limitations of their data center infrastructure and unleash the potential of AI,” said Pankaj Sharma, vice president and general manager of the Data Center Business Unit at Schneider Electric’s Secure Power division. “Through our collaboration with NVIDIA, we are able to make a significant contribution to creating a more efficient and sustainable future.”
