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

Vertiv accelerates AI Infrastructure Evolution in alignment with NVIDIA 800 VDC Power Architecture announcement
Designed for next-generation AI factories, Vertiv's 800 VDC solutions planned for 2026, in support of NVIDIA rack-scale compute platforms Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global provider of critical digital infrastructure, today confirmed its strategic alignment with NVIDIA's announcement of an AI roadmap to deploy 800 VDC power architectures for the next generation of AI-centric data centers. Paving the way for future-ready designs, Vertiv's 800 VDC power portfolio is scheduled for release in the second half of 2026 — ahead of NVIDIA Kyber and NVIDIA Rubin Ultra platform rollouts. Vertiv aligns with the NVIDIA AI roadmap to stay one GPU generation ahead, enabling customers to deploy their power and cooling infrastructure in sync with NVIDIA's next-generation compute platforms. Vertiv provides end-to-end power, cooling, integrated infrastructure and 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, centralized power delivery by reducing copper usage, current, and thermal losses. Vertiv's upcoming portfolio will feature centralized rectifiers, high-efficiency DC busways, 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. 'As GPUs evolve to support increasingly complex AI applications at giga-watt scale, power and cooling providers need to be equally innovative to provide energy-efficient and high-density solutions for the AI factories. While the 800 VDC portfolio is new, DC power isn't a new direction for us, it's a continuation of what we've already done at scale,' said Scott Armul, executive vice president of global portfolio and business units at Vertiv. 'We've spent decades deploying higher-voltage DC architectures across global telecom, industrial, and data center applications. We're entering this transition from a position of strength and bringing real-world experience to meet the demands of the AI factory.' Vertiv's experience in DC power spans more than two decades of ±400 VDC deployments, broadened by strategic acquisitions during the early 2000's. These solutions support critical loads in global telecom networks, integrated microgrids, and mission-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 'unit of compute' strategy — a systems-level design engineered to enable all infrastructure components — to interoperate as one modular and scalable system, matching infrastructure demands of next-generation GPUs. Vertiv's support for both AC and DC architectures is a strategic differentiator in the evolving AI data center landscape.
