Latin America. Following NVIDIA's announcement of an AI roadmap to deploy 800 VDC power architectures for the next generation of AI-centric data centers, Vertiv confirmed its strategic alignment paving the way for future-ready designs.
Vertiv's 800 VDC power portfolio is scheduled to launch in the second half of 2026, ahead of the launch of the NVIDIA Kyber and NVIDIA Rubin Ultra platforms.
Vertiv aligns with NVIDIA's AI roadmap to stay one generation of GPUs ahead, enabling customers to deploy their power and cooling infrastructure in sync with NVIDIA's next-generation computing platforms. Vertiv provides power, cooling, integrated infrastructure, and end-to-end services to support AI factories and other data center deployments.
As rack power requirements in AI environments scale beyond 300 kilowatts, 800 VDC enables more efficient and centralized power delivery by reducing copper usage, current, and thermal losses. Vertiv's upcoming portfolio will include centralized rectifiers, high-efficiency DC power lines, rack-level DC-DC converters, and DC-compatible backup systems, expanding its broad end-to-end power management portfolio that already includes a robust AC power train.
Vertiv's expertise in DC power spans more than two decades of ±400 VDC deployments, extended by strategic acquisitions during the early 2000s. These solutions support critical loads in global telecommunications networks, integrated microgrids, and critical facilities. This foundation establishes Vertiv as a trusted leader in the safe design, deployment, and operation of higher-voltage DC architectures with proven scale, portfolio, and long-term serviceability.
Designed for homogeneous AI zones in hyperscale environments, Vertiv's 800 VDC portfolio is a key pillar of its "compute unit" strategy — a system-level design that allows all infrastructure components — to operate as a modular, scalable system, matching the infrastructure demands of next-generation GPUs. Vertiv's support for AC and DC architectures is a strategic differentiator in the evolving AI data center landscape.
