Schneider Electrical has launched new information centre options particularly engineered to fulfill the intensive calls for of next-generation AI cluster architectures. Evolving its EcoStruxure™ Knowledge Heart Options portfolio, Schneider Electrical launched a Prefabricated Modular EcoStruxure Pod Knowledge Centre answer that consolidates infrastructure for liquid cooling, high-power busway and high-density NetShelter Racks.
As well as, EcoStruxure Rack Options incorporate detailed rack configurations and frameworks designed to speed up Excessive Efficiency Computing (HPC) and AI information centre deployments. The brand new EcoStruxure Pod Knowledge Heart and EcoStruxure Rack Options at the moment are accessible globally.
Organisations are deploying AI clusters and grappling with excessive rack energy densities, that are projected to succeed in 1MW and past. Schneider Electrical’s new line of options equips prospects with built-in, data-validated, and simply scaled white house options that deal with new challenges in pod and rack design, energy distribution and thermal administration.
“The sheer energy and density required for AI clusters create bottlenecks that demand a brand new strategy to information centre structure,” stated Himamshu Prasad, Senior Vice President of EcoStruxure IT, Transactional & Edge and Vitality Storage Centre of Excellence at Schneider Electrical. “Clients want built-in infrastructure options that not solely deal with excessive thermal masses and dynamic energy profiles but additionally deploy quickly, scale predictably, and function effectively and sustainably. Our modern next-generation EcoStruxure options that help NVIDIA know-how deal with these crucial necessities head on.”
New Product Overview
● Prefabricated Modular EcoStruxure Pod Knowledge Centre: Prefabricated, scalable pod structure permits operators to deploy high-density racks, supporting pods as much as 1MW and past, at scale. Engineered-to-order, the brand new pod infrastructure affords flexibility and helps liquid cooling, energy busway, complicated cabling, in addition to scorching aisle containment, InRow and rear door warmth exchanger cooling architectures. The Prefabricated Modular EcoStruxure Pod Knowledge Centre is now transport pre-designed and pre-assembled with all parts for fast deployment to help high-density workloads.
● EcoStruxure Rack Options: These dependable, high-density rack programs adapt to EIA, ORV3 and NVIDIA MGX modular design requirements accepted by main IT chip and server producers. Configurations accommodate a big selection of energy and cooling distribution
schemes and make use of Motivair by Schneider Electrical in-rack liquid cooling, in addition to new and expanded rack and energy distribution merchandise, together with:
o NetShelter SX Superior Enclosure: This new line options taller, deeper, and stronger racks to help elevated weight, cabling and infrastructure. NetShelter SX Superior includes a bolstered shipload ranking and is safeguarded with shock packaging, making certain safe transport of AI servers and liquid cooling programs.
o NetShelter Rack PDU Superior: These energy distribution models have been up to date to help the high-current energy wants of AI servers. Designed for environment friendly rack layouts, the NetShelter Rack PDU Superior affords compact vertical and horizontal fashions with increased counts of devoted circuits. Clever operational options now enabled by Schneider Electrical’s Community Administration Card improve safety and supply seamless integration to EcoStruxure IT.
o NetShelter Open Structure: This Open Compute Mission (OCP) impressed rack structure is on the market as a configure-to-order answer and contains open rack requirements, energy shelf and in-rack busbar. As a part of this, a brand new Schneider Electrical rack system has additionally been developed to help the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 system that utilises the NVIDIA MGX structure in its rack design, integrating Schneider Electrical into NVIDIA’s HGX and MGX ecosystems for the primary time.
“Schneider Electrical’s modern options present the dependable, scalable infrastructure our prospects have to speed up their AI initiatives,” stated Vladimir Troy, vp of information centre engineering, operations, enterprise software program and cloud companies at NVIDIA. “Collectively, we’re addressing the quickly rising calls for of AI factories — from kilowatt to megawatt-scale racks—and delivering future-proof options that maximise scalability, density and effectivity.”
The brand new options and suite of engineered information centre reference designs equip information centre operators and Schneider Electrical’s companion ecosystem with the infrastructure and data wanted to deploy highly effective AI clusters sooner and extra reliably whereas addressing frequent obstacles to adoption, together with:
● Dependable energy and cooling for AI workloads
● Deployment complexity and threat
● Velocity to market and provide chain resilience
● Expertise hole in managing superior infrastructure
These enhanced EcoStruxure choices add to Schneider Electrical’s sturdy line of totally built-in, end-to-end AI infrastructure options — spanning superior {hardware}, clever software program, companies equivalent to EcoCare™ and EcoConsult for Knowledge Facilities, and strategic business partnerships with key IT gamers. Schneider Electrical is the companion of alternative for constructing environment friendly, resilient, scalable, and AI-optimised information centres.
