Vertiv, <\/span>a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, announced a milestone in its collaboration with NVIDIA to accelerate the next generation of AI factories, detailing its design maturity for 800 VDC power architectures<\/a>. Building on its\u00a0strategic alignment announced in May 2025<\/a>, Vertiv has significantly advanced its platform designs to accelerate its \u2018unit of compute\u2019 strategy, moving from concept to engineering readiness. The 800 VDC power portfolio is planned to release in the second half of 2026, aligning to support the 2027 rollout of NVIDIA Rubin Ultra platforms.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

From Commitment to Execution<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The data center industry is at a critical inflection point: Traditional 54 VDC in-rack distribution, designed for kilowatt-scale racks, cannot meet the megawatt-scale demands of accelerated computing. To address this, Vertiv and NVIDIA are collaborating on\u00a0<\/span>scalable Vertiv™ 800 VDC systems<\/a>\u00a0integrated with energy storage, creating the foundation for AI factories optimized for large-scale, synchronous AI and high-performance computing workloads. Vertiv is finalizing its component specifications for comprehensive platform designs which include centralized rectifiers, high-efficiency DC busways, and rack-level DC-DC converters engineered to support the megawatt scale rack demands of future NVIDIA compute.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Larger AI workloads are reshaping every aspect of data center design,” said Scott Armul, executive vice president, global portfolio and business units at Vertiv. “Our systems-level expertise in both AC and DC-based power data center architectures positions us uniquely to address the unprecedented power demands of AI workloads. With the development of our Vertiv 800 VDC platform designs, we’re translating our extensive experience into next-generation solutions that will support the massive compute densities required for AI factories.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Powering the next generation of megawatt-scale AI factories requires a fundamental shift in\u00a0<\/span>power architectures,” said\u00a0Dion Harris, senior director, HPC, Cloud and AI Infrastructure\u00a0at NVIDIA. “NVIDIA and Vertiv are working closely together to develop\u00a0the scalable and efficient power foundation needed to unlock the full potential of\u00a0next-generation AI infrastructure.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The Next Chapter for 800 VDC Power<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

A trusted leader in the data center space, Vertiv\u2019s 800 VDC power portfolio builds on decades of experience and technologies in DC architectures for telecom and industrial applications. Vertiv is actively engaged in the early design phases of several large AI factory projects, where its 800 VDC reference architecture is basis of design and scaled against real-world, gigawatt scale demand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Platform Readiness, Service Maturity<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

This platform-level readiness extends to Vertiv\u2019s global service model. Safely servicing complex 800 VDC environments is a critical enabler for AI factory adoption and a key differentiator for Vertiv. The company\u2019s proven serviceability for AC and DC systems, backed by its 4,000+ field service engineers, provides the long-term operational confidence required for mission-critical AI deployments.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are engineering a holistic, scalable system where infrastructure parts interoperate as one \u2013 demonstrating Vertiv\u2019s role as a systems-level partner, moving from vision to readiness and enabling the infrastructure necessary to power future-ready AI factories,\u201d said Armul.<\/span><\/p>\n
