Schneider Electric (SBGSY, Financial), including its subsidiary Shenzen PowerGas Tech, and Nvidia (NVDA, Financial) have announced an agreement focused on developing cutting-edge AI data center cooling solutions. The latest designs of these switches are specific to Nvidia's high computing server and are characterized by their energy efficiency and scalability. Nvidia's servers, which it's using as the base for its AI chips, require a lot of energy – up to 132 kilowatts per rack, which is where liquid cooling comes in. Schneider Electric works well with infrastructure knowledge and Nvidia technological advances, delivering fluid coolings and power-providing necessities specifically for these deep-learning facilities.

It also presents new client reference designs for its accelerated computing clusters to maximize data center performance, efficiency, and flexibility. These designs will meet important innovative AI application areas such as engineering analysis, generative AI, and EDA. This partnership is fully consistent with Schneider Electric's overall strategies for promoting energy management in data centers, as illustrated by its $3bn supply deal with Compass Datacenters.

The synergy represents the expanding industry trend of incorporating AI to address the increasing energy requirements of advanced computational structures. Schneider and Nvidia have teamed up to create the standard use of AI to run data centers, which is a big step towards a sustainable and revolutionary future.
