Siemens and nVent Partner on Tier-III-Ready Architecture to Boost Efficiency and Scale for AI-Driven Data-Centers

Modular blueprint to help operators deploy AI infrastructure faster, smarter, and more sustainably

(IN BRIEF) Siemens and nVent have partnered to create a liquid-cooled reference architecture designed for 100-MW hyperscale AI data-centers, integrating Siemens’ electrical and automation systems with nVent’s cooling technologies. The modular blueprint is Tier-III-capable and optimized for large AI compute clusters such as NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD configurations, helping operators reduce deployment times, boost energy efficiency and accommodate increasing power density. The framework is intended to streamline rollout, improve tokens-per-watt performance, and support scalable, sustainable data-center growth as AI workloads expand worldwide.

(PRESS RELEASE) ZUG, 9-Dec-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Siemens and nVent have announced a joint initiative to develop a reference architecture tailored specifically for hyperscale AI data-centers, combining industrial-grade electrical infrastructure with advanced liquid cooling technology. The collaboration is intended to give operators a modular Tier-III-capable blueprint that speeds up AI deployment timelines, improves energy efficiency, and enables scalable rollouts of high-density compute environments such as NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD installations with DGX GB200 systems.

With AI workloads driving unprecedented power and thermal demand inside data-centers, operators are under pressure to deliver more compute per square foot while improving resiliency and sustainability. The design framework developed by Siemens and nVent aims to shorten time-to-compute, increase tokens-per-watt performance, and streamline the pathway for organizations planning 100-MW hyperscale AI facilities. Built with fault tolerance and modular scalability in mind, the architecture integrates Siemens’ automation and electrical platforms with nVent’s liquid cooling systems to support efficient, high-density compute clusters.

Sara Zawoyski, President of nVent Systems Protection, said the collaboration reflects a shared commitment to support next-generation digital infrastructure. “Our cooling technologies are engineered for high-density AI environments, and together with Siemens we are helping operators deploy infrastructure faster and more sustainably.”

Ciaran Flanagan, Global Head of Data Center Solutions at Siemens, added: “This is a blueprint built for scale — energy-efficient, modular, and designed to maximize tokens per watt. In cooperation with nVent and our ecosystem partners, we’re enabling operators to roll out AI-ready facilities with confidence.”

As hyperscalers respond to rising compute intensity and liquid-cooling adoption, standardized reference architectures become vital for accelerating deployment, improving interoperability, and supporting future expansion without compromising uptime. Siemens contributes its expertise in electrical distribution, automation software, and digital services, while nVent brings specialized liquid-cooling capabilities proven in high-density data environments. Together, the companies aim to provide a practical framework that helps operators build resilient AI infrastructure capable of meeting global demand.
