Vertiv Aligns with NVIDIA AI Roadmap for 800 VDC Power
Home » Tech Value Chain » Global Brands » Vertiv Aligns with NVIDIA AI Roadmap for 800 VDC Power
Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global provider of critical digital infrastructure, has announced its alignment with NVIDIA AI roadmap. The company revealed plans to deploy 800 VDC power architectures tailored for AI-focused data centers.
The upcoming 800 VDC power portfolio is scheduled for release in the second half of 2026. This launch will precede the rollout of NVIDIA's Kyber and Rubin Ultra platforms. Vertiv aims to stay ahead of one GPU generation to enable synchronized deployment of power and cooling infrastructure.
Vertiv offers end-to-end solutions, including power, cooling, and integrated infrastructure, designed to support AI factories and large-scale data center operations. The company reported that as AI rack power requirements exceed 300 kilowatts, 800 VDC allows for more efficient, centralized power delivery.
Key features of the new 800 VDC portfolio include: Centralized rectifiers and high-efficiency DC busways
Rack-level DC-DC converters and DC-compatible backup systems
According to Vertiv, these solutions reduce copper use, minimize current, and lower thermal losses. The company also noted that its power management offerings already include a robust AC power train.
Scott Armul, Executive Vice President of Global Portfolio and Business Units at Vertiv, stated that power and cooling providers must innovate as GPUs evolve to handle giga-watt scale AI applications. He emphasized that Vertiv's experience in high-voltage DC architectures supports this innovation.
'For us, DC power isn't new. It's a continuation of what we've deployed at scale,' said Armul. He added that Vertiv has more than two decades of experience with ±400 VDC solutions. These have supported critical telecom, industrial, and data center loads globally.
Vertiv's capabilities were also strengthened by strategic acquisitions in the early 2000s. The company's track record establishes it as a trusted leader in higher-voltage DC system design, deployment, and long-term serviceability.
The 800 VDC portfolio is designed for homogeneous AI zones in hyperscale environments. It also supports Vertiv's 'unit of compute' strategy, where all infrastructure components operate as a modular, scalable system. The solution aligns with the needs of next-generation GPUs.
Vertiv highlighted that its support for both AC and DC architectures sets it apart in the evolving AI data center landscape.

Nvidia to build first industrial AI cloud in Germany
Nvidia will build its first artificial intelligence cloud platform for industrial applications in Germany, CEO Jensen Huang said on Wednesday at the VivaTech conference in Paris. The technology, which will combine AI with robotics, will help carmakers such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz with processes from simulating product design to managing logistics. In a series of Europe-focused announcements, Huang outlined plans to expand technology centres in seven countries, open up Nvidia's compute marketplace for European companies, help AI model makers in several languages become more advanced, and aid in drug discovery by firms such as Novo Nordisk. "In just two years, we will increase the amount of AI computing capacity in Europe by a factor of 10," said Huang, in a nearly two-hour-long presentation in front of a packed audience. "Europe has now awakened to the importance of AI factories and the importance of the AI infrastructure," he said, laying out plans for 20 AI factories - large-scale infrastructure designed for developing, training, and deploying AI models - in Europe. While Europe has lagged the U.S. and China in developing AI technologies, the European Commission said in March it planned to invest $20 billion to construct four AI factories. Nvidia is also partnering with European AI champion Mistral to create AI computing that runs on 18,000 of the latest Nvidia chips for European businesses. "Sovereign AI is an imperative - no company, industry, or nation can outsource its intelligence", Huang said. Huang has been trotting the globe to highlight the importance of businesses adopting AI and the dangers of falling behind. On Monday, he said in London that Britain lacked the computing infrastructure to deliver the full potential of its AI research base. Beyond AI, Huang reiterated his view quantum computing technology is at an inflection point. Quantum calculations could crack problems that currently would demand years of processing from Nvidia's most advanced AI systems. Quantum computing will solve "some interesting problems" in the coming years, Huang added. The CEO made similar comments in March at Nvidia's annual software developer conference when he spoke about the potential of quantum computing, walking back comments he made in January when he said useful quantum computers were 20 years away.

Khazna announces major collaboration with NVIDIA to build AI factories across the Middle East and Africa
Khazna Data Centers have announced a strategic collaboration with global AI leader NVIDIA, that is designed to accelerate AI infrastructure development across the MEA region. Following the high-profile visit of U.S. President Donald Trump to the UAE, and the announcement of a planned 5GW UAE-US AI campus, the collaboration is another example of the deepening ties between the region and U.S. technology leaders in shaping the future of AI and digital infrastructure. Through this collaboration, NVIDIA has certified the design of Khazna's next-generation facilities to support the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. Khazna's ongoing and upcoming infrastructure developments will feature NVIDIA-ready blueprints as standard, ensuring full compatibility with the latest GPU-accelerated workloads. Khazna will design the majority of its future data halls with capacities of up to 50MW, developing individual AI clusters of up to 250MW. With many of these data halls situated in the planned UAE-US AI campus, this will place the UAE among the world's most advanced AI infrastructure hubs. Khazna is also expanding rapidly across the Middle East, Africa and Europe, with plans to scale up to 1GW of capacity in countries such as France, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Türkiye, and Kenya. 'The world is entering a new era of AI-driven innovation, and the UAE is uniquely positioned to lead. Our work with NVIDIA represents a bold step forward in delivering high-performance, future-ready infrastructure at unprecedented scale. It reinforces our support for the UAE's ambitions to become a global AI leader,' said Hassan Alnaqbi, CEO of Khazna Data Centers.
