Schneider Electric: Empowering The Channel For AI And High-Density Compute

Artificial intelligence is reshaping data center infrastructure, creating new opportunities for solution providers. At Best of Breed in Atlanta, Steven Carlini, chief advocate for data centers and AI at Schneider Electric, outlined how the company is helping partners meet growing demand for high-density compute.

“Where is AI? Are we in the first inning? I would say no. I think we're in the second inning,” Carlini said, noting the rapid rise of large language models and the billions invested in AI technologies.

Schneider Electric, a €52 billion energy technology company, is seeing explosive growth in its data center segment. “Data center right now is 25 percent of Schneider Electric's revenue. Right now, it's 80 percent of the growth of the company,” Carlini said.

A key driver is Schneider’s partnership with NVIDIA. “NVIDIA is the reason why the AI market is moving very, very fast,” Carlini said. With GPU power demands doubling annually, Schneider is delivering advanced power and cooling solutions to support high-density compute environments.

For partners, Schneider offers prefabricated architectures and AI-specific training to simplify deployment and accelerate time to market. “We have very, very dedicated and detailed solutions for training—how to spot the opportunities, how to size liquid cooling, how to configure a solution for AI,” Carlini said.

As inference workloads and generative AI applications scale, Schneider Electric is equipping the channel with efficient, scalable solutions to drive growth across industries.
