SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC LAUNCHES NEW DATA CENTRE SOLUTIONS TO MEET CHALLENGES OF HIGH-DENSITY AI
Schneider Electric, a leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has announced new data centre solutions specifically engineered to meet the intensive demands of next-generation AI cluster architectures.
Evolving its EcoStruxure Data Center Solutions portfolio, Schneider Electric introduced a Prefabricated Modular EcoStruxure Pod Data Center solution that consolidates infrastructure for liquid cooling, high-power busway and highdensity NetShelter Racks.
In addition, EcoStruxure Rack Solutions incorporate detailed rack configurations and frameworks designed to accelerate High Performance Computing( HPC) and AI data centre deployments. The new EcoStruxure Pod Data Center and EcoStruxure Rack Solutions are now available globally.
Organisations are deploying AI clusters and grappling with extreme rack power densities, which are projected to reach 1MW and beyond. Schneider Electric’ s new line of solutions equips customers with integrated, data-validated and easily scaled white space solutions that address new challenges in pod and rack design, power distribution and thermal management.
“ The sheer power and density required for AI clusters create bottlenecks that demand a new approach to data center architecture,” said Himamshu, Senior Vice President of EcoStruxure IT, Transactional & Edge and Energy Storage Center of Excellence at Schneider Electric.
Prasad added:“ Customers need integrated infrastructure solutions that not only handle extreme thermal loads and dynamic power profiles but also deploy rapidly, scale predictably, and operate efficiently and sustainably. Our innovative nextgeneration EcoStruxure solutions that support NVIDIA technology address these critical requirements head on.”
infrastructure, has announced it is collaborating with NVIDIA to build AI factories in the MEA region.
Following the high-profile visit of US President Donald Trump to the UAE and the announcement of a planned 5GW UAE-US AI campus, the collaboration is another example of the deepening ties between the region and US technology leaders in shaping the future of AI and digital infrastructure.
NVIDIA has certified the design of Khazna’ s next-generation facilities to support the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. Khazna’ s ongoing and upcoming infrastructure developments will feature NVIDIA-ready blueprints as standard, ensuring full compatibility with the latest GPU-accelerated workloads.

Khazna will design the majority of its future data halls with capacities of up to 50MW, developing individual AI clusters of up to 250MW. With many of these data halls situated in the planned UAE-US AI campus, this will place the UAE among the world’ s most advanced AI infrastructure hubs. Khazna is also expanding rapidly across the Middle East, Africa and Europe, with plans to scale up to 1GW of capacity in countries such as France, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey and Kenya.
“ The world is entering a new era of AI-driven innovation, and the UAE is uniquely positioned to lead. Our work with NVIDIA represents a bold step forward in delivering high-performance, future-ready infrastructure at unprecedented scale. It reinforces our support for the UAE’ s ambitions to become a global AI leader,” said Hassan Alnaqbi, CEO of Khazna Data Centers.
