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.

Global Industrial Property Enters New Phase as Supply Chains Shift and Landlords Expected to Gain Ground
The Logistics Real Estate Market on the Chinese Mainland Shows Signs of Stabilization Amid Ongoing Consumer and Industrial Demand HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 June 2025 – Cushman & Wakefield (NYSE: CWK) has published its inaugural global logistics and industrial outlook, 'Waypoint 2025', which highlights a significant shift in the sector as global supply chains are reconfigured and cost pressures evolve. Drawing on insights from more than 120 markets worldwide, the report shows that in the near term, the balance of power is tilting towards landlords, with wide-reaching implications for occupiers, investors, and developers. The research reveals that globally, the proportion of tenant-favourable markets is expected to fall sharply from 52% today to just 28% by 2028. This change is being driven by constrained supply, robust demand, and rising costs across key inputs such as rent, labour, construction materials, and electricity. At the same time, landlord-favourable markets are forecast to rise from 24% to 35%, signalling a more competitive leasing environment in the years ahead for occupiers. In Asia Pacific (APAC), fundamentals remain strong but market conditions are becoming more nuanced. The region currently offers more balanced conditions, with 24% favouring landlords and 33% favouring tenants. Over the next three years, markets in the region are expected to move away from a balanced, neutral position toward more polarising tenant- and landlord-favourable market conditions. Neutral markets are expected to decline to 29% from the current 42%, while tenant-friendly markets are anticipated to grow to 38% from 33%. Similarly, landlord-favourable markets are expected to rise to 33%, up from 24%. ADVERTISEMENT Dr. Dominic Brown, Head of International Research at Cushman & Wakefield said, 'Asia Pacific markets are diverging, with Australia and Southeast Asia seeing a shift towards landlord-favourable conditions, while other parts of the region face rising vacancies and tenant-friendly dynamics. Nevertheless, 62% of APAC markets still expect rental growth in the next three years, driven by robust occupier demand, strategic manufacturing shifts and the region's cost competitiveness in labour and energy.' In terms of labour costs, APAC remains highly competitive, with countries like India, Vietnam, Philippines, and Indonesia having significantly lower wages. China has moved toward higher value-added manufacturing, with wages around 50% of the global average. Another highlight of the report is that general manufacturing, retail distribution and e-commerce distribution are the top three key drivers of demand for logistics and industrial space in Asia Pacific. This is very much aligned to what is being seen across the world. High-tech and automotive manufacturing have also been identified as drivers of occupier demand in APAC over the next three years. Dennis Yeo, Head of Investor Services and Logistics & Industrial, APAC, Cushman & Wakefield said: 'Asia Pacific continues to demonstrate resilience, with markets such as India and Vietnam seeing sustained occupier demand. However, rising vacancy in some subregions, driven by a surge in new supply means that a one-size-fits-all approach no longer works. Businesses must adopt granular, market-specific strategies that account for local cost structures, infrastructure readiness, and automation potential.' The logistics market on the Chinese mainland continued its path to stabilization and recovery in 2024, underpinned by favourable structural drivers. Key catalysts include the emergence of industrial clustering, the acceleration of new logistics productivity, and a more balanced supply-demand environment, all of which are reinforcing the market's long-term fundamentals. ADVERTISEMENT In the consumer segment, the rapid rise of new e-commerce formats — notably live-streaming commerce and instant retail — has been instrumental in driving online consumption. Combined with the effective rollout of consumer goods trade-in policies, these trends have led to sustained growth in online retail sales of physical goods, bolstering demand for high-quality logistics infrastructure. On the industrial front, strong logistics demand for industrial goods has been observed, supported by continued manufacturing activity and supply chain modernization. This dual-sector momentum — consumer and industrial — is injecting fresh vitality into the premium logistics warehouse market, reinforcing its status as a core asset class in the evolving logistics ecosystem on the Chinese mainland. Tony Su, Managing Director, Head of Industrial & Logistics Property Services, China, Cushman & Wakefield said: 'The transformation and upgrading of key industries are fueling renewed demand for warehouse space. This resurgence in leasing activity is expected to absorb incoming supply efficiently, supporting steady growth in both occupancy levels and rental rates—particularly within the premium logistics warehouse segment. These dynamics position the sector for healthier and more sustainable long-term development.' The report concludes that resilience and diversity in supply chains will be essential for navigating both short- and long-term market shocks. Businesses that act decisively and strategically will be best placed to thrive in this evolving industrial landscape. The full report, including regional breakdowns of rental levels, market conditions and vacancy projections, energy and labour cost comparisons, and analysis of demand drivers such as e-commerce and manufacturing, is available at Waypoint 2025. Note to Editors 'Waypoint 2025' is Cushman & Wakefield's inaugural global logistics & industrial research report which includes results from a survey of Cushman & Wakefield logistics and industrial market-facing colleagues for 127 markets worldwide. The survey was conducted from 7-18th April 2025, after the Trump Administration announced the suspension of most higher tariff rates for 90 days, while maintaining the 10% levy on nearly all global imports.

Nvidia, HPE to build new supercomputer in Germany
SAN FRANCISCO - Nvidia and Hewlett Packard Enterprise said on Tuesday they are partnering with the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre to build a new supercomputer using Nvidia's next-generation chips. The Blue Lion supercomputer, as the project is called, will become available to scientists in early 2027, using Nvidia's "Vera Rubin" chips. The announcement, made at a supercomputing conference in Hamburg, Germany, follows Nvidia's announcement that the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab in the United States also plans to build a system using the chips next year. Separately, Nvidia also said that Jupiter, another supercomputer using its chips at German national research institute Forschungszentrum Julich, has officially become Europe's fastest system. The deals represent European institutions aiming to stay competitive against the U.S. in supercomputers used for scientific fields from biotechnology to climate research. Long before it became an artificial intelligence powerhouse, Nvidia set out to persuade scientists to use its chips to speed up complex computer problems, such as modeling climate change. Those problems required many precise calculations that could take months at a time. Nvidia is now working to persuade scientists to use artificial intelligence. Those AI systems can take the results of a few precise calculations and use them to make predictions that, while not as accurate as the fully calculated results, can still be useful while taking far less time. Nvidia on Tuesday unveiled what it calls its "Climate in a Bottle" AI model. In a press briefing, Dion Harris, head of data center product marketing at Nvidia, said scientists will be able to input a few initial conditions such as sea surface temperatures and generate a forecast for 10 to 30 years in the future and see what the weather may be like at any kilometer or so of the earth's surface. "Researchers will use combined approach of classic physics and AI to resolve turbulent atmospheric flows," Harris said. "This technique will allow them to analyze thousands and thousands more scenarios in greater detail than ever before." (Reporting by Stephen Nellis in San Francisco; Editing by Lincoln Feast.)
