Nvidia and Schneider Electric Drive AI Data Centers in Latin America

The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) across Latin America is transforming the region's tech infrastructure. Sectors like banking, manufacturing, and telecommunications are fueling an unprecedented demand for processing power and specialized solutions. This has led to significant investments in building new data centers equipped for AI workloads.

In this scenario, Nvidia and Schneider Electric announced a strategic partnership to enhance the efficiency and performance of these data centers. The collaboration focuses on creating infrastructure architectures tailored for AI workloads, integrating energy, cooling, electrical distribution, and digital management solutions. These elements are essential to ensure stable and efficient operation under high computational densities.

Concrete proposals include reference electrical designs and liquid cooling systems designed specifically for AI data centers. These systems improve thermal management and operational stability in environments with higher processing densities than traditional centers. Additionally, advanced simulation tools based on digital twins and built on NVIDIA Omniverse platform allow modeling energy consumption and electrical behavior before construction. This reduces risks and optimizes resource use in large-scale projects.

Energy and cooling innovation are critical, as traditional data center infrastructure isn't prepared for AI demands. Liquid cooling and digital modeling help anticipate bottlenecks and maintain operational continuity even under heavy loads. Noelia Miranda, Director of Secure Power at Schneider Electric for Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, explained that AI is driving a new wave of transformation in digital infrastructure, pushing data centers toward environments designed specifically for AI workloads.

This evolution offers a strategic opportunity for the regional tech partner ecosystem. The need for AI-ready infrastructure opens new growth avenues, positioning Latin America as a key player in the global digital economy.
