Schneider Electric announces new reference designs developed with Nvidia

Schneider Electric (SBGSY) announced new reference designs developed with NVIDIA (NVDA) that significantly accelerate time to deployment and aid operators as they adopt AI-ready infrastructure solutions. The first reference design delivers the industry’s first and only critical framework for integrated power management and liquid cooling control systems, including Motivair by Schneider Electric liquid cooling technologies, and enables seamless management of complex AI infrastructure components. It includes interoperability with NVIDIA Mission Control – NVIDIA’s AI factory operations and orchestration software, including cluster and workload management features. The control systems reference design can also be utilized with Schneider Electric’s data center reference designs for NVIDIA Grace Blackwell systems, enabling operators to keep pace with the latest advancements in accelerated computing, with seamless control of their power and liquid cooling systems. The second reference design focuses on the deployment of AI infrastructure for AI factories of up to 142 kW per rack, specifically NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 racks, in a single data hall. Created to provide a framework for the next-generation NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra architecture, the reference design includes information on four technical areas: facility power, facility cooling, IT space and lifecycle software. The design is available under configurations for both the American National Standards Institute and the International Electrotechnical Commission standards.
