Global data center capacity is set to triple in size between 2022 and 2030. This growth is spurred by the build-out of accelerated computing for Artificial Intelligence (AI). The race for AI use across all industries is on and that has catapulted the data center industry into hypergrowth. It has also created a race within the market to quickly build and deploy the AI-Ready infrastructure needed to secure leadership in the market.
The challenge is that an AI data center is not traditional. They leverage Graphic Processor (GPU) accelerated servers that require much higher power, cooling and densification.
This fast growth and change from traditional designs has put multiple stressors on the industry, from the need for more utility power to the broader use of liquid-based cooling. The growth of the industry, however, cannot proceed unless carbon emissions are lowered or at a minimum kept at today’s levels.
It is imperative that we decouple AI data center growth from the environmental impact. For this to be accomplished, low carbon energy sources need to be utilized, new flexible and efficient AI-Ready data center designs need to be developed, and sustainable business practices need to be put in place.
To be a leader in the AI data center market you must deliver AI-Ready infrastructure at scale-sustainability.

It all starts with the GPU The data center market is undergoing a transformation. Traditional data center power, cooling, and racks are no longer sufficient for GPU-based servers arranged in high-density AI clusters. Recognizing this challenge, Schneider Electric and NVIDIA have joined forces to address these evolving needs. We’ve addressed key data center AI challenges by assembling experts from both organizations to co-develop reference designs of the physical infrastructure for both retrofit and purpose-built data centers.
These designs provide data center operators with the guidance and technical specifications to streamline and accelerate deployment of these high-density AI clusters.
• Our first full facility reference design details a design for AI racks (up to 70 kW/rack) with liquid cooling. We offer both an IEC-based design and ANSI-based design.
• Our newest full facility reference design details a design for NVIDIA’s DGX SuperPOD™ of GB200 NVL72 racks (up to 132kW/rack) with liquid cooling. IEC-based design is currently available.

Liquid Cooling
Liquid cooling is an architecture in which Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) are the backbone, between servers and heat rejection units.
• Liquid to Liquid CDUs ensure flow control, temperature control, and pressure control to the Technology Cooling System (TCS), as well as fluid treatment, filtration and quality
• Liquid to Air CDUs, are an alternative solution which allows liquid cooling servers to be used in an air based white space
• Manifolds distribute fluid throughout servers, ensuring a consistent flow of cooling
• Cold plates reject chip heat into the fluid distribution, maintaining the device’s optimal operating temperature

High Temperature Chillers
Designed for flexibility and efficiency, using economization / free-cooling as primary heat rejection.
• Oil free centrifugal chillers as superefficient solution for AI GPUs
• Flexible Heat rejection units to be adaptable to uncertain case temperature requirements and to allow a smooth transition from air-cooled to liquid-cooled servers

Air Cooling
Chilled water and direct expansion solutions for supplementing liquid cooling systems or for auxiliary rooms, independently on the site’s architecture.
• Downflow or underfloor solutions for traditional data centers with raised floors
• Frontal discharge fan walls for new and modern data centers without raised floors
• Rear door heat exchangers, connected directly to the racks complement liquid cooling and minimize impact on the white space
