Schneider Electric Collaborates with NVIDIA on Designs for AI Data
Centers
• New reference designs will offer a robust framework
for implementing NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platform within
data centers;• Designs will optimize performance, scalability, and
energy efficiency;
Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of
energy management and automation, today announced a collaboration
with NVIDIA to optimize data center infrastructure and pave the way
for groundbreaking advancements in edge artificial intelligence
(AI) and digital twin technologies.
Schneider Electric will leverage its expertise in data center
infrastructure and NVIDIA’s advanced AI technologies to introduce
the first publicly available AI data center reference designs.
These designs are set to redefine the benchmarks for AI deployment
and operation within data center ecosystems, marking a significant
milestone in the industry's evolution.
With AI applications gaining traction across industries, while
also demanding more resources than traditional computing, the need
for processing power has surged exponentially. The rise of AI has
spurred notable transformations and complexities in data center
design and operation, with data center operators working to swiftly
construct and operate energy-stable facilities that are both
energy-efficient and scalable.
“We're unlocking the future of AI for organizations,” said
Pankaj Sharma, Executive Vice President, Secure Power
Division & Data Center Business, Schneider Electric.
“By combining our expertise in data center solutions with NVIDIA's
leadership in AI technologies, we’re helping organizations to
overcome data center infrastructure limitations and unlock the full
potential of AI. Our collaboration with NVIDIA paves the way for a
more efficient, sustainable, and transformative future, powered by
AI.”
Cutting-Edge Data Center Reference Designs
In the first phase of this collaboration, Schneider Electric
will introduce cutting-edge data center reference designs tailored
for NVIDIA accelerated computing clusters and built for data
processing, engineering simulation, electronic design automation,
computer-aided drug design, and generative AI. Special focus will
be on enabling high-power distribution, liquid-cooling systems, and
controls designed to ensure simple commissioning and reliable
operations for the extreme-density cluster. Through the
collaboration, Schneider Electric aims to provide data center
owners and operators with the tools and resources necessary to
seamlessly integrate new and evolving AI solutions into their
infrastructure, enhancing deployment efficiency, and ensuring
reliable life-cycle operation.
Addressing the evolving demands of AI workloads, the reference
designs will offer a robust framework for implementing NVIDIA’s
accelerated computing platform within data centers, while
optimizing performance, scalability, and overall sustainability.
Partners, engineers, and data center leaders can utilize these
reference designs for existing data center rooms that must support
new deployments of high-density AI servers and new data center
builds that are fully optimized for a liquid-cooled AI cluster.
“Through our collaboration with Schneider Electric, we’re
providing AI data center reference designs using next-generation
NVIDIA accelerated computing technologies,” said Ian Buck,
Vice President of Hyperscale and HPC at NVIDIA. “This
provides organizations with the necessary infrastructure to tap
into the potential of AI, driving innovation and digital
transformation across industries.”
Future Roadmap
In addition to the data center reference designs, AVEVA, a
subsidiary of Schneider Electric, will connect its digital twin
platform to NVIDIA Omniverse, delivering a unified environment for
virtual simulation and collaboration. This integration will enable
seamless collaboration between designers, engineers, and
stakeholders, accelerating the design and deployment of complex
systems, while helping reduce time-to-market and costs.
“NVIDIA technologies enhance AVEVA's capabilities in
creating a realistic and immersive collaboration experience
underpinned by the rich data and capabilities of the AVEVA
intelligent digital twin,” said Caspar Herzberg, CEO of
AVEVA. “Together, we are creating a fully simulated
industrial virtual reality where you can simulate processes, model
outcomes, and effect change in reality. This merging of digital
intelligence and real-world outcomes has the potential to transform
how industries can operate more safely, more efficiently and more
sustainably.”
In collaboration with NVIDIA, Schneider Electric plans to
explore new use cases and applications across industries and
further its vision of driving positive change and shaping the
future of technology.
More information will be available at Schneider Electric’s
Innovation Summit Paris on April 3.
