This future-proof rack platform supports the deep and heavy IT equipment required for next-generation deployments.
Driven by increasing computing density, data center operators must house IT equipment while ensuring airflow, cable management, and installation flexibility. Vertiv Rack Extreme is designed to help meet these evolving demands with superior load capacities, deeper configurations, integrated cable management, and compatibility with power and thermal management systems used in data center environments.
“Vertiv™ Rack Extreme reflects our expanded capabilities in rack and cabinet designs for AI-driven, high-density deployments,” said Giuseppe Leto, senior director of IT Systems at Vertiv. “The platform also benefits from Vertiv’s extensive rack engineering expertise, including solutions historically developed under the Knürr brand, to support next-generation, scalable IT infrastructures.”.
Vertiv Rack Extreme offers multiple size and configuration options, allowing organizations to tailor their infrastructure to the specific requirements of each application. Designed for rapid deployment, the rack is supplied fully assembled and integrates seamlessly with a broad ecosystem of compatible accessories, including overhead cable management and airflow optimization solutions, facilitating simplified expansion as infrastructure needs grow.
With static and dynamic load capacities of up to 2,045 kg, Vertiv Rack Extreme supports higher-density deployments than traditional racks, which typically have lower load limits when moving than when static. By maintaining the same load capacity in both conditions, it offers up to 2 times the dynamic capacity and up to 1.3 times the static capacity compared to conventional designs, providing operational flexibility thanks to its full-load mobility. Its fully welded construction, integrated airflow and cable management—including a mesh door with a large open area and flexible rail systems—and standard features such as vertical cable bars and corner mounting bars for rPDUs simplify installation and ongoing management. Specially designed transport solutions, including shock-absorbing pallets and multi-purpose ramps, help protect equipment and enable smoother on-site deployment.
The platform is also designed to integrate seamlessly with Vertiv's overall portfolio, supporting a wide range of rack-mount solutions, including Vertiv™ uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), Vertiv™ rack PDUs, Vertiv™ thermal management solutions, as well as Vertiv™ CoolLoop RDHx rear door heat exchanger solutions and Vertiv™ CoolChip CDU coolant distribution units with direct-to-chip liquid cooling manifolds, and Vertiv™ Avocent® series KVM and console solutions, enabling a fully integrated end-to-end infrastructure.
