The Philippines is rapidly embracing artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud services, but with this transformation comes a growing challenge: the rising demand for high-density data centers and the increasing strain on the country’s power infrastructure. Recognizing this, Schneider Electric, a global leader in digital energy management and automation, is stepping up with next-generation, energy-efficient solutions designed to power the AI-driven future.
AI, Power, and the Data Center Challenge
At the Innovation Day Philippines 2025, experts from Uptime Institute highlighted how the boom in AI and digital adoption is putting enormous pressure on existing power systems. Traditional data centers are no longer enough—industries now require AI-ready infrastructure that can handle massive workloads without compromising efficiency or sustainability.
This is where Schneider Electric comes in. The company recently launched its EcoStruxure™ Data Center Solutions, a modular and scalable suite designed to support high-performance AI and cloud computing.
Next-Gen EcoStruxure™: Built for AI at Scale
Schneider Electric unveiled its EcoStruxure™ Pod and Rack Solutions—innovations built to handle the intense requirements of modern AI data centers. Key features include:
- Support for up to 120kW per rack with advanced thermal management (liquid and air cooling systems).
- Grid-ready power systems powered by AI-tolerant UPS (Galaxy VXL).
- Real-time monitoring with EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert, EcoStruxure IT Expert, and AVEVA Unified Operations Center for optimized performance.
These solutions shorten deployment cycles, reduce operational risks, and ensure that operators can expand capacity seamlessly—all while keeping energy efficiency at the core.
A Global Partnership for AI Growth
Schneider Electric also announced a strategic partnership with NVIDIA, combining sustainability expertise with cutting-edge accelerated computing. Together, they are co-developing power delivery systems, thermal management, and high-density racks specifically engineered for AI workloads.
This collaboration contributes to global initiatives like Europe’s €200B InvestAI program and serves as a model for Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, where AI adoption is accelerating.
“Schneider Electric and NVIDIA are not just partners—we’re co-developing the infrastructure needed to power the next wave of AI factories globally,” shared Olivier Blum, CEO of Schneider Electric.
Powering the Philippines’ Digital Future
With decades of global expertise and sustainability at its core, Schneider Electric is working with local stakeholders to ensure the Philippines can build future-ready, energy-efficient data centers. The goal is clear: create a resilient digital backbone that can sustain the demands of AI and high-performance computing while easing pressure on the country’s power grid.
As the world pushes forward into the AI era, Schneider Electric is making sure the Philippines isn’t left behind—offering solutions that are smart, scalable, and sustainable.
