Schneider Electric partners with Nvidia on AI data centre cooling systems
Nvidia’s energy-demanding AI servers prompt Schneider to innovate liquid cooling technology for data centres.
French electrical firm Schneider Electric has teamed up with Nvidia to develop cutting-edge cooling systems for AI-focused data centres. These designs will cater to Nvidia’s powerful AI servers, which feature 72 advanced chips and are set to debut next year.
The energy-intensive servers, consuming up to 132 kilowatts per rack, necessitate liquid cooling technology. Schneider‘s scalable solutions will support various configurations for cloud computing firms and data centre customers, enhancing adaptability and efficiency in AI infrastructure.
Schneider’s push into AI data centres follows a $3 billion deal with Compass Datacenters in 2023, underlining its commitment to innovative technologies. Nvidia‘s switch to liquid cooling has spurred significant developments in data centre construction and upgrades, driving collaboration with industry leaders.
