USA, California, San Jose: Schneider Electric has expanded its collaboration with NVIDIA, alongside AVEVA, to develop technologies for designing and running large-scale AI data centres. The announcements were made during NVIDIA GTC in San Jose.
A key update is a new reference design for NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin rack systems, focused on power distribution and cooling. It introduces higher voltage supply, improved temperature efficiency, and updated data centre layouts that group AI racks more closely while supporting larger clusters. The design also aims to improve performance by allowing flexible operating modes that increase output per unit of energy.
Schneider Electric and AVEVA are also working with NVIDIA on a digital twin system using the NVIDIA Omniverse platform. This allows operators to simulate power, cooling, airflow and system behaviour before construction. The approach is intended to reduce design risks, shorten development time and improve overall efficiency.
In addition, Schneider Electric has tested NVIDIA’s Nemotron model for a new AI-based alarm management system. Using real-time data, the system can analyse issues, identify root causes and suggest actions, helping technicians respond faster and more consistently.
Together, these developments build on ongoing work between the companies to create more efficient and scalable infrastructure for AI operations, particularly as demand for high-performance computing continues to grow.
