Schneider Electrical is collaborating with NVIDIA to serve the rising demand for sustainable, AI-ready infrastructure. Collectively, Schneider Electrical and NVIDIA are advancing analysis and improvement (R&D) initiatives for energy, cooling, controls, and high-density rack methods to allow the following era of AI factories throughout Europe and past.
This distinctive world partnership, introduced throughout NVIDIA GTC Paris, brings collectively the world leaders in sustainability and accelerated computing to help the European Union’s AI infrastructure ambitions and its “InvestAI” initiative, which plans to mobilize a €200 billion funding in AI.
Leveraging its experience in AI-ready infrastructure, sustainability, and grid coordination, Schneider Electrical and NVIDIA are collectively responding to the European Fee’s “AI Continent Motion Plan,” which outlines a shared mission to arrange at the very least 13 AI factories throughout Europe, whereas establishing as much as 5 AI gigafactories.
“Schneider Electrical and NVIDIA will not be simply companions — our groups are driving superior R&D, co-developing the infrastructure wanted to energy the following wave of AI factories globally,” stated Olivier Blum, CEO of Schneider Electrical. “Collectively, we’ve seen super success in deploying next-generation energy and liquid cooling options, purpose-built for AI knowledge centres. This strategic partnership — bringing collectively the world leaders in sustainability and accelerated computing — permits us to additional speed up this momentum, pushing the boundaries of what’s doable for the AI workloads of tomorrow.”
“AI is the defining expertise of our time—essentially the most transformative power reshaping our world,” stated Jensen Huang, founder and CEO, NVIDIA. “Along with Schneider Electrical, we’re constructing AI factories: the important infrastructure that brings AI to each firm, business, and society.”
Publicizes New NVIDIA-Enabled Infrastructure Options
In help of in the present day’s announcement, Schneider Electrical has additionally unveiled a collection of latest AI-ready knowledge centre options, together with new EcoStruxure™ Pod and Rack Infrastructure. Designed to speed up AI developments globally, the Prefabricated Modular EcoStruxure Pod Knowledge Centre is a scalable, pod-based structure, enabling speedy AI knowledge centre deployment.
As a part of this, a brand new Schneider Electrical Open Compute Undertaking (OCP) impressed rack system has additionally been developed to help the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 platform that makes use of the NVIDIA MGX modular structure, integrating Schneider Electrical into NVIDIA HGX and MGX ecosystems for the primary time.
These new bulletins construct on a collection of milestones shared by the 2 world leaders earlier this yr, together with Schneider Electrical and ETAP unveiling the world’s first digital twin for electrical and large-scale energy methods in AI factories utilizing the NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint. Collectively, Schneider Electrical and NVIDIA have additionally co-developed a collection of full electrical and liquid cooling-based reference designs as an accredited CDU vendor for NVIDIA — lots of which additionally embody options from Motivair’s liquid cooling portfolio, following its acquisition by Schneider Electrical in March 2025.
By means of this expanded and deepened strategic partnership, Schneider Electrical and NVIDIA will proceed to speed up their infrastructure initiatives, fast-tracking new product rollouts and reference designs to construct the AI factories of the long run.
