Schneider Electric Announces Galaxy VXL UPS - the Industry's Most Compact, High Density Power Protection System for AI, Data Center, and Large-Scale Electrical Workloads
Schneider Electric has unveiled its new Galaxy VXL UPS, designed for critical infrastructure environments like data centers and manufacturing facilities. The UPS boasts a high-density design, fault-tolerant architecture, and up to 99% efficiency to minimize total cost of ownership. It includes enhanced safety and cybersecurity features, remote monitoring capabilities, and a services plan for maximum lifespan. The compact UPS is scalable, modular, and redundant, offering high power performance for AI and data center environments. With a smaller footprint and advanced features, the Galaxy VXL UPS aims to provide reliable power protection for a range of applications.
Galaxy VXL UPS
At just 1.2m2 with a power density of up to 1042 kW/m2, Galaxy VXL sets a new benchmark in efficient, sustainable, and advanced UPS technologies. Available immediately in all 400V IEC regions worldwide, Galaxy VXL delivers the highest levels of power performance for AI, colocation, and hyperscale data center environments, as well as large-scale critical infrastructure and electrical systems within commercial buildings and industrial facilities.
With its industry-first compact design, high-density power provision, and AI-load tolerant design, Galaxy VXL maximizes uptime and availability for the most energy-intensive infrastructure systems. It is capable of powering up to 1.25 MW in one frame, and up to 5 MW with 4 units running in parallel, while increasing both operational and energy efficiencies to help minimize customers' total cost of ownership (TCO).
Through its patented operating technologies, Galaxy VXL delivers up to 99% in its high-efficiency eConversion mode, and up to 97.5% efficiency in double conversion mode, providing Class-1 power protection alongside leading levels of energy reduction, while lowering the UPSs' carbon emissions by a factor of two.
With a 52% smaller footprint compared with the industry average, its scalable, modular design also enables N+1 levels of redundancy to increase the system level of availability by a factor of 10. Further, through its modular architecture, customers can reduce their capital expenditure (CapEx) by purchasing power modules as they need them, enjoying optimized energy efficiency, and adding more power modules as demands grow.
Key Features and Benefits
Schneider Electric's Galaxy VXL has been designed to offer record-breaking power densities and an AI-ready power architecture for the most energy-intensive workloads. For the first time, this new UPS provides customers with a 1.25 MW scalable and modular solution with 125 kW/3U power modules in a 1.2m2 footprint, while being capable of supporting up to 1.25 MW of critical load in one frame and up to 5 MW with 4 units in parallel in only 4.8m2 space.
Customer Demands for AI Systems
To meet customer demands for AI systems, Schneider Electric has increased manufacturing and production capacity at a host of its global factories. Additionally, Galaxy VXL will be available at Schneider Electric's Sant Boi, Barcelona, and Xiamen, China Factories, where it will be integrated to form the resilient backbone for Schneider Electric's prefabricated, modular range of high-compute workload data center solutions.
Schneider Electric's Galaxy VXL is available for order immediately.
