SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC
“ That’ s where Schneider comes in. We’ re looking at how energy consumption in a data centre can be reduced. So what we’ re telling the market is that it’ s not only energy for AI, but it’ s also how you can use AI to improve energy efficiency within data centres.
“ We’ re experts in power and cooling and are providing technology solutions from Grid to Chip and Chip to Chiller.”
Accommodating both traditional and emerging workloads Transitioning to a new approach within the data centre will require hybrid architectures, particularly when it comes to inference applications. With this in mind, Nirupa explains that the data centre industry is going to see a rising demand for more edge applications and Schneider Electric suspects most will be hybrid architectures.
“ Across multiple markets, we’ re seeing more applications at the edge, so closer to where the demand is,” Nirupa says.“ So, while data gets trained in these mega data centres in the US or in other locations, the inference applications tend to be typically closer to where the applications are being used.
