Watch the Power Shift video series
Join Scott Armul, Vertiv Chief Product and Technology Officer, as he explores the drivers behind 800 VDC and what higher-density AI infrastructure means for future power architectures
The physics driving the shift to 800 VDC
Learn why increasing AI rack densities are pushing conventional power architectures towards their practical limits and why higher-voltage DC is emerging as an important part of the solution.
The 800 VDC shift starts at the rack
Explore how rack-adjacent power architectures can provide a practical first step towards 800 VDC adoption while preserving infrastructure flexibility.
800 VDC: From pod to data hall — the future of AI power | Scott Armul at the 2026 Investor Conference
Power conversion is moving to keep pace with AI compute density. An 800 VDC sidecar enables next-generation GPU density using existing AC infrastructure, with no facility redesign. Scott Armul explains.
Validating AI infrastructure at system scale
Vertiv is building a pod-scale validation lab to simulate real-world AI infrastructure. By testing performance, thermal behavior, and failure modes, teams can stay ahead of accelerating GPU development cycles. Scott Armul explains.
