Brief of diving:
- Schneider Electric and Compass data centers will collaborate in a prefabricated solution jointly designed for the “White Space” data center that combines energy, cooling and network equipment in a modular unit, Companies said September 9.
- Schneider/Compass ad arrives less than a week after Schneider announced an agreement With AVAIO Digital Partners to supply energy and air conditioning equipment to four data centers in late phase development.
- The white space solution, Ecostruxure Pod, is designed to integrate with the existing customer infrastructure, minimizing work labor, reducing the risk of installation errors and leading to a simpler construction with lower costs, according to companies, according to companies. This month’s ads are aligned with Schneider’s aim of supporting the operations of the “Grid in Chip and Chill data center,” said CEO Olivier Blum in July.
Divide vision:
The Schneider’s growing data center business has promoted its financial performance in recent quarters. In a Update of July investorsThe company provides for a two -digit growth in the segment until 2027.
Schneider registered an increase in revenue of almost 16% in the first half of 2025 of its energy management group, which includes its data centers and the network segment. The segment is expected to grow significantly faster than other business lines over the next two years.
Recent strategic movements will increase Schneider’s position as a leader of data centers, Blum said during updating of the company’s July investors.
These movements include a collaboration with NVIDIA and ETAP on “Digital Twins” in simulate the power needs of data centers and the acquisition of a 75% participation to motivateA provider of liquid cooling solutions and advanced thermal management for data centers. Schneider announced the two links earlier this year.
The earliest evaluations suggest that the Ecostruxure Pod could “offer remarkable capital expenses compared to traditional processes, while allowing operators at the data center. Revenue generation begins from its new facilities to three months sooner, “said companies.
Compass’s collaboration provides Schneider access to an important player in the growing Mercat of the United States. The compass has more than a gigawatt of the capacity of the data center that operates or developed in the United States, including a Campus of 2.4 million square feet to the old Sears headquarters outside Chicago.
In the meantime, Schneider’s collaboration with AVAIO will allow the data center developer to “ address the increasing demand for large -scale AI projects that have unique power and refrigeration requirements, focusing on market speed to meet the growing need for customers’ capacity, ” said AVAIO’s general director of design and delivery Joe Hubbard, in a statement.
AVAIO will incorporate Schneider’s switches, energy distribution units, uninterrupted food systems and refrigerators in four “AI-AI-APR” data centers that are approaching construction, according to companies, companies said on September 3.
Separately, Schneider will implement “ maintenance models based on data -based predictive and predictive analytics ” to reduce unforeseen inactivity times, expand the life of equipment’s life and reduce operating costs at AVAIO facilities, according to companies.
The capacity of the first phase of the creation of the AVAIO Data Center could reach the line as soon as next year, said Avaio’s CEO, Mark McComiskey, in a statement.
AVAIO also invests in a “solar generation on the utility scale on the utility scale on various campuses, responding to the focused industry on feeding their AI infrastructure needs directly from renewable sources,” he said.
