Siemens Smart Infrastructure and Delta have embarked on a global collaboration to deliver prefabricated and modular power solutions for data centers, addressing the pressing need for rapid scaling in the industry.
This strategic partnership aims to enhance the deployment speed of data center infrastructure, while simultaneously cutting down on capital expenditure.
Prefabricated Power Solutions to Meet Demand
As digital demand surges, data centers are emerging as vital components of modern infrastructure
As digital demand surges, data centers are emerging as vital components of modern infrastructure, supporting the connectivity needs of the digital age. Operators face significant challenges, such as time-to-market pressures, increasing costs, and the demand for sustainable practices.
The prefabricated power solutions from Siemens and Delta offer a strategic advantage, helping data centers navigate these challenges within a competitive market landscape.
Addressing AI Era Needs
Delta Electronics' Executive Vice President of Global Business Operations, Jimmy Yiin, emphasized their dedication to energy efficiency as integral to this partnership.
"Delta's commitment to energy efficiency is foundational to this agreement. By leveraging our expertise in power solutions from grid to chip, which enables us to architect the system closer to the critical load, our Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), batteries, and advanced thermal management technologies are uniquely designed for the high-density demands of the AI era," said Yiin. Collaborating with Siemens helps broaden the reach of Delta's energy-saving solutions through a globally unified supply chain.
Modular Power Systems for Efficiency
The collaboration revolves around giving prefabricated, integrated containerized power solutions
The collaboration revolves around delivering prefabricated, integrated containerized power solutions, such as SKIDs and eHouses. These systems are pre-built and tested off-site, providing a standardized plug-and-play solution that can halve the time-to-market, reduce construction risks, and maximize data center floor space.
This efficient design proposal promises up to 20% reduction in CAPEX and can lower carbon emissions by as much as 27% due to its innovative use of materials, including reduced concrete.
Combining Siemens and Delta Expertise
Stephan May, CEO of Electrification & Automation at Siemens Smart Infrastructure, highlighted the significance of this alliance, stating, "Our partnership with Delta represents an important milestone for data center construction in the world's fastest-growing markets. By combining Siemens' electrical power distribution and engineering services with Delta's high-efficiency UPS, battery and cooling offerings, together we are delivering a prefabricated, customizable solution that can drastically cut time-to-market by up to half."
"This approach also lowers construction risk with better predictability, while enhancing energy efficiency and supporting the long-term sustainability goals of our customers."
Digital Integration for Enhanced Operations
The digital twin framework accelerates installation and commissioning, optimizing the facility's energy efficiency
The power solutions are designed with Building Information Modeling (BIM) from inception, incorporating third-party products, which facilitates real-time data integration into building management systems. This enables improved performance, faster troubleshooting, and more efficient operations over the data center’s lifecycle.
The digital twin framework accelerates installation and commissioning, optimizing the facility's energy efficiency and enabling collaborative planning and proactive problem-solving.
Fostering Innovation Through Partnerships
Siemens is steadfast in leveraging its partnerships to enhance customer outcomes, connecting major players across the value chain to drive innovation and interoperability.
This partner ecosystem approach is crucial for addressing some of the world's most significant challenges, further cementing Siemens' role in the evolving landscape of data center solutions.
