Next-gen solutions to support NVIDIA’s AI factory designs, targeting efficient, high-density data centers by 2026
Vertiv has announced plans to roll out its 800 VDC power portfolio by the second half of 2026, strategically aligned with NVIDIA’s newly revealed AI roadmap and future platforms, including NVIDIA Kyber and Rubin Ultra. This development supports the growing power demands of next-generation GPU clusters and AI factories, where rack loads are expected to exceed 300kW.
“We’re entering this AI-driven power transition from a position of strength — backed by decades of DC experience.” — Scott Armul, EVP, Vertiv
As AI workloads become increasingly compute-intensive, Vertiv’s 800 VDC solutions will offer centralized rectifiers, high-efficiency DC busways, and rack-level DC-DC converters — all designed to cut copper usage, reduce thermal losses, and improve overall energy efficiency in hyperscale environments.
“While the 800 VDC portfolio is new, DC power isn’t a new direction for us,” said Scott Armul, Executive Vice President of Global Portfolio and Business Units, Vertiv. “We’ve spent decades deploying high-voltage DC at scale across global telecom and data center applications.”
The company’s 800 VDC portfolio will form a key pillar of its “unit of compute” strategy — a modular and scalable approach where power and cooling infrastructure evolves in sync with GPU generations. Vertiv’s dual support for both AC and DC architectures positions it as a versatile partner for AI-centric data centers.
