With the release of NVIDIA’s AI roadmap to implement 800 VDC power architectures for the upcoming generation of AI data centers, Vertiv reaffirmed its strategic alignment.
Vertiv’s 800 VDC power portfolio is slated for availability in the second half of 2026, ahead of the rollouts of the NVIDIA Kyber and NVIDIA Rubin Ultra platforms, paving the path for designs that are ready for the future.
Customers can deploy their power and cooling infrastructure in tandem with NVIDIA’s next-generation compute platforms thanks to Vertiv’s alignment with the NVIDIA AI roadmap, which keeps the company one GPU generation ahead.
Vertiv supports AI factories and other data center deployments by offering end-to-end power, cooling, integrated infrastructure, and services.
Because 800 VDC lowers copper usage, current, and thermal losses, it allows for more effective, centralized power distribution as rack power requirements in AI applications grow beyond 300 kW.
In order to broaden its end-to-end power management portfolio, which already includes a strong AC power train, Vertiv will be introducing centralized rectifiers, high-efficiency DC busways, rack-level DC-DC converters, and DC-compatible backup systems in the near future.
Over two decades of ±400 VDC deployments have contributed to Vertiv’s DC power expertise, which was expanded through smart acquisitions in the early 2000s.
These technologies enable mission-critical facilities, integrated microgrids, and critical loads in international communication networks.
With its established size, portfolio, and long-term serviceability, this foundation positions Vertiv as a reliable leader in the safe design, implementation, and operation of higher-voltage DC infrastructures.
Vertiv’s 800 VDC portfolio, which is intended for homogeneous AI zones in hyperscale environments, is a crucial component of its “unit of compute” strategy, which is a systems-level design created to allow all infrastructure components to work together as a single, modular, and scalable system, meeting the infrastructure requirements of next-generation GPUs.
One key differentiation in the changing AI data center market is Vertiv’s capability for both AC and DC designs touts its official release.
Leadership Comments
“As GPUs evolve to support increasingly complex AI applications at giga-watt scale, power and cooling providers need to be equally innovative to provide energy-efficient and high-density solutions for the AI factories. While the 800 VDC portfolio is new, DC power isn’t a new direction for us, it’s a continuation of what we’ve already done at scale,” said Scott Armul, executive vice president of global portfolio and business units at Vertiv. “We’ve spent decades deploying higher-voltage DC architectures across global telecom, industrial, and data center applications. We’re entering this transition from a position of strength and bringing real-world experience to meet the demands of the AI factory.”
“It is important development and opportunity for Vertiv to march next level journey of High Density Accelerated Computing Infrastructure.” said Subhasis Majumder, VP/GM at Vertiv India. “We have been in DC Power space for more than two decades serving Telecom and Industrial segment. With this collaboration, we are enhancing our portfolio to support Innovative AI Factory at large scale with minimising energy losses ”
