Every data center project comes with its unique parameters and requirements, so it is necessary to create the best-fit data center design for your facility to operate effectively and efficiently.
Data Center Reference Designs provide an effective starting point for your project. Developing the right design requires stakeholder agreement on key attributes and performance characteristics.
What’s a Data Center Reference Design?
Schneider Electric Data Center Reference Designs are validated and documented plans representing how physical infrastructure systems are configured and laid out as well as specifying the components used. The designs cover electrical, mechanical, and IT space systems. Design Summary PDFs are available for download on this page. Each design includes an Engineering Package containing one-lines, piping diagrams, floor layouts, and an equipment list. The Engineering Package is available upon request.
AI Reference Design with liquid cooling
Collaborating with Nvidia, Schneider Electric’s validated reference architecture for deploying modern AI clusters at scale addresses new needs for increased power densities and liquid cooling solutions to maintain optimal performance.
This full facility reference design details a design for AI racks (up to 73 kW/rack) with liquid cooling. It considers several retrofit scenarios of IT rooms with a mix of standard and AI IT clusters and a new-build IT room with a 2MW AI cluster.
If your organization is looking to adapt existing facilities or build new facilities with AI clusters, this co-developed AI Reference Design with liquid cooling, is a key tool for your preparation.
