AI is set to revolutionize how we live and work, but many data centers are struggling to keep up with the massive demands of this powerful technology. With NVIDIA’s Blackwell GPUs already sold out for the next year, all eyes are on the data center industry to overcome their power, cooling and infrastructure scalability roadblocks – so the AI revolution can really take off. That’s easier said than done, however, both for new builds and especially for retrofits where data center operators need to adapt existing facilities for the demands of AI today and tomorrow.

While the landscape of infrastructure solutions for data centers is full of disruptive solutions that are costly, complex and time-consuming to implement, Legrand is offering a different path forward. With over 30 years of experience working with multinational data centers, the company is a key enabler for data center operators looking to meet AI’s intense demands without getting bogged down in time-intensive, disruptive overhauls. With a unique blend of proven, ready-to-deploy solutions with future-proof designs, and a collaborative approach to deployment, Legrand is helping data centers unlock AI’s full potential immediately, helping them leap to AI-readiness in record time.

“Many data centers today struggle with the sheer complexity of adapting infrastructure not originally designed to handle AI deployments,” says Henry Hsu, Vice President of Strategy and Marketing for Legrand, North & Central America’s Data, Power, and Control division. “Those building new facilities must design them not only to be resilient but also scalable with the evolving requirements of AI technology. Operators need solutions that work today, scale for tomorrow and deploy quickly. With a culture of collaborative problem solving, our team of engineers provides our customers with a unique advantage in deploying agile, AI-ready data centers that can support high-density clusters.”

Legrand’s extensive portfolio includes everything from power distribution and real-time monitoring to cabinets, cooling and high-speed cabling. Their products are designed to support cutting-edge AI applications involving NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD™ environments—without the complexity of deploying disruptive infrastructure.

But Legrand’s impact doesn’t stop at rapid deployment. In an era when sustainability is just as crucial as speed-to-market, Legrand’s commitment to eco-friendly design, efficiency and circularity helps operators reduce their environmental footprint even as they address the needs of AI deployments.

For data center operators racing against the clock to keep up with the demands of AI and stay competitive, Legrand’s approach offers a powerful advantage: AI-ready infrastructure that’s practical, customizable, scalable and, more importantly, ready now.  In an industry where theory and reality don’t always have the time to match up, Legrand’s practical approach to high-performance, major AI deployments is driving the industry ever-closer to facilitating the much-anticipated era of AI.
