This whitepaper introduces a set of AI-ready data center reference designs developed jointly by Schneider Electric and NVIDIA to support high-density GPU clusters used in AI training. Addressing power, cooling, and layout challenges, the report presents four design scenarios, three retrofit and one new build, optimized for NVIDIA’s DGX SuperPODs with rack densities of up to 73 kW. The goal is to simplify feasibility assessments, shorten planning cycles, and support sustainable deployment of AI infrastructure through scalable, energy-efficient designs.
