Insights

Vertiv's four new AI-focused infrastructure systems represent a significant competitive advancement in the rapidly evolving data center market. The SmartRun solution's ability to deploy 1MW+ daily (up to 85% faster than traditional methods) directly addresses one of the most critical bottlenecks in AI infrastructure scaling—deployment speed. This capability alone could substantially differentiate Vertiv from competitors struggling with lengthy buildout timelines.

The technical specifications are particularly impressive. The PowerDirect Rack supporting 132kW per rack and CoolLoop RDHx handling 80kW of thermal load significantly exceed traditional data center power/cooling densities, which typically range from 10-20kW per rack. This positions Vertiv to capture share in the highest-growth segment of data center infrastructure.

Most compelling is Vertiv's unique ability to provide end-to-end integration. As the only major vendor offering both comprehensive power and cooling solutions, their new Unify management platform creates substantial operational advantages through integrated control systems—potentially improving reliability while reducing operational complexity. This system integration advantage creates a moat against competitors who typically specialize in either power or cooling, but rarely both.

Vertiv's product launch perfectly targets the three primary infrastructure constraints currently limiting AI deployment: power delivery, heat dissipation, and deployment speed. Current AI infrastructure is reaching physical limits—modern GPUs and accelerators consume 4-8x more power and generate proportionally more heat than previous generation computing hardware. These physical constraints have become the primary bottleneck in AI scaling, not the chips themselves.

The CoolLoop RDHx rear door heat exchanger stands out for addressing liquid cooling integration—critical as workloads exceed what traditional air cooling can handle. Meanwhile, the 50V DC rack power approach in the PowerDirect system eliminates conversion inefficiencies, directly addressing power delivery challenges that plague many AI implementations.

What's particularly valuable is the prefabricated approach to deployment. The current AI infrastructure buildout resembles a gold rush, with advantages accruing to whoever can deploy fastest. Vertiv's claim of 85% faster deployment could translate directly to competitive advantage for their customers in time-to-market for AI capabilities.

The timing of this launch is impeccable, arriving precisely when infrastructure limitations are constraining AI expansion across multiple sectors. While component shortages get more attention, the physical infrastructure to power and cool these systems represents an equally significant bottleneck that Vertiv is directly addressing.

Global solutions include a consolidated management platform, prefabricated overhead infrastructure for power and liquid cooling, DC rack power, and chilled water rear door.

COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, today announced the global launch of four new systems designed to address challenges driven by the rapid growth of AI applications. Vertiv’s expanded capabilities in infrastructure management, prefabricated modular deployment, advanced thermal management, and DC power distribution provide options for managing the increased power and heat density, complexity, and operational demands of AI.

Vertiv™ Unify software is a consolidated management platform that provides real-time visibility, control, and advanced analytics across critical power and thermal infrastructure, from individual assets up to a fully connected cloud environment. The platform enhances system performance, safety, and scalability for AI-intensive data centers. Vertiv Unify offers plug-and-play configurations, simplified energy usage reporting, and global and site-specific scalability. As the only leading provider of the full suite of power train and thermal chain equipment, Vertiv now enables seamless integration and coordination across systems through Vertiv Unify.

Vertiv™ SmartRun is a unique, modular prefabricated overhead infrastructure solution that integrates high-density power distribution busbar, liquid cooling piping network, hot aisle containment, and network infrastructure into a single scalable system to support IT pods while addressing increasing rack power densities. With prefabricated assembly, plug-and-play design, and a simplified one-lift installation process, Vertiv SmartRun can deploy about 1MW or more per day, up to 85% faster to deploy on-site than traditional stick-build methods. Installation, maintenance and service are supported by Vertiv services globally to provide an end-to-end solution.

Vertiv™ CoolLoop RDHx chilled water high-density rear door heat exchanger is designed to support the increasing thermal demands of AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and other power-dense IT workloads. The compact, energy-efficient air-cooling door replacement may be deployed as a standalone solution or can support direct-to-chip liquid cooling for a room-neutral solution. The system’s integrated fan module delivers precise airflow control, reducing energy consumption while optimizing cooling performance. Vertiv CoolLoop RDHx integrates seamlessly with the liquid cooling loop, and the modular design allows integration into existing data centers, enhancing thermal efficiency and simplifying cooling infrastructure. Available globally in capacities up to 80kW, Vertiv CoolLoop RDHx is an extension of the Vertiv™ Liebert® DCD rear door heat exchanger family. The system can be supported by Vertiv™ Liquid Cooling Services, which is available to provide comprehensive lifecycle support to the entire liquid cooling ecosystem.

Vertiv™ PowerDirect Rack high-density 50V DC rack power shelf is designed to help data centers maximize power efficiency and scale with ease, in support of AI and HPC applications. It offers a complete infrastructure power solution, supporting two times the power capacity in the same footprint, when compared to traditional AC uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with separate rectification and power distribution, or lower density DC power shelves. Built for Open Compute Project (OCP) ORv3 High Power Rack (HPR) environments, it delivers high-density power and is scalable up to 132 kW per rack. Vertiv PowerDirect Rack is compatible with AC and HVDC input and offers real-time monitoring, for improved flexibility and visibility.

“With these additions to our portfolio, Vertiv provides easier end-to-end systems integration, faster deployment, improved scalability, and greater power and cooling density to address critical digital infrastructure challenges related to accelerated computing,” said Scott Armul, executive vice president, global portfolio and business units at Vertiv. “Our comprehensive range of advanced power, cooling, management, and deployment solutions positions Vertiv to uniquely support customers as they build and scale AI-driven data centers.”
