Schneider Electric announced a RapidScale prefabricated modular data-center reference design on 21 October to support NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin platform. The blueprint brings together power distribution, liquid cooling, IT space, software and lifecycle services for high-density AI infrastructure. The company says the approach is intended to reduce reliance on custom engineering and make deployment planning more predictable.

Schneider said a time study it co-authored with Compass Datacenters found that prefabricated white-space modules can cut onsite installation time by 80%. That result belongs to a specific study and is not a general savings rate for every data center or the entire construction schedule. Schneider says the reference design is validated to U.S. ANSI standards and that it plans to extend the framework to IEC standards, so global implementation coverage remains a future step.
