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. For more details on Vertiv's power and cooling solutions, visit
