Overview
AI is experiencing exponential growth. But before it can become a powerful tool for society, foundational AI models need to be developed. However, traditional data center power, cooling, and racks aren’t sufficient for GPU-based servers arranged in high-density AI clusters.
Schneider Electric collaborated with NVIDIA to develop reference designs of the physical infrastructure for both retrofit and purpose-built scenarios while keeping energy efficiency as a foundational principle in our designs, a major component of environmental sustainability.
In this executive brief, we present these designs which provide data center operators the guidance and technical detail to streamline and accelerate deployment of these high-density AI clusters.
Our findings

Our findings

These collaborative reference designs add significant value for data center operators looking to add AI clusters to an existing facility or build a new one.


By producing the first publicly available, comprehensive blueprints for AI data centers, this partnership goes beyond optimizing infrastructure – it empowers companies to deploy AI with greater efficiency and ease.

The benefits of AI reference designs:

  • 01

    Simplify implementation feasibility analysis

  • 02

    Reduce planning cycle time

  • 03

    Leverage our learning on key design considerations and obstacles

  • 04

    Increase confidence that your AI cluster can be deployed reliably
