STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AVAIO Digital Partners (AVAIO Digital) today announced that it has signed an agreement with Schneider Electric to purchase switchgear, PDUs, UPSs and chillers in advance of starting construction at four new AI-ready data center campuses across the U.S. This comes as AVAIO has also entered into an agreement with other long-lead equipment manufactures for generators and a separate partnerships to procure electrical gear.
The AVAIO-Schneider collaboration supports the integration of sophisticated data center technologies, enhancing the reliability and efficiency of AVAIO's facilities and setting the stage for AVAIO Digital's expansion in the North American market.
Schneider Electric's deep knowledge in AI load characterization, combined with a track record in integrating renewable energy with traditional power generation, and utility connections are key elements of successful time-to-power project deployment, which enables large scale data centers to accelerate the rate at which they build out capacity. Schneider Electric's products are made with sustainability in mind and adhere to EcoDesign principles, which allows customers to reduce embedded carbon and emissions from an operations perspective.
Beyond deployment, Schneider Electric's implementation of condition-based maintenance models and data-driven predictive analytics ensures AVAIO's infrastructure operates at peak performance throughout the entire lifecycle. This proactive strategy reduces both planned and unplanned downtime, extends equipment longevity, and lowers operational costs and risk at a systems level - not only on day one, but continuously over decades of data center utilization.
Mark McComiskey, CEO, AVAIO Digital said, "AVAIO has invested significantly in developing our new data center campuses across the U.S. and is now ready to commence construction.
