It’s Only Common Sense: How AI Consumes the Electronics Supply Chain
Dan’s Biz Bookshelf: ‘Building a Story Brand 2.0’
Delta, a global leader in power management and smart green solutions, and Siemens Smart Infrastructure have formalized a global partnership to deliver prefabricated, modular power solutions designed to accelerate the deployment of data center infrastructure, while significantly reducing CAPEX. The partnership will ensure hyperscale and colocation operators enjoy a strategic advantage in the competitive AI and cloud computing data center market, with the highest performance in power management and reliability.
"Our partnership with Delta represents an important milestone for data center construction in the world's fastest-growing markets," said Stephan May, CEO of Electrification & Automation at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. "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."
Jimmy Yiin, Executive Vice President of Global Business Operations, Delta Electronics, Inc., said, "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. Working with Siemens allows us to further expand the reach of our cutting-edge, energy-saving solutions rapidly through a single, globally supported supply chain across EMEA and APAC."
The core of the agreement centers on the delivery of prefabricated, integrated containerized power solutions (SKIDs, eHouses). By prefabricating and pre-testing these modular power systems off-site with an optimized layout, the solution provides a standardized, plug-and-play approach that reduces time-to-market by up to 50%, lowers construction risk, and maximizes valuable data center square footage. The efficient design can provide up to 20% CAPEX reduction and up to 27% lower carbon emissions by using less concrete in the space-optimized layout.
Siemens and Delta are committed to leveraging partnerships which complement their expertise and portfolio to create the best outcomes for their customers. By connecting the dots between major players across the value chain, this partner ecosystem approach fosters innovation and encourages the interoperability required to solve the worlds' greatest challenges.
