Vertiv PowerDirect Rack is designed to help data centers maximize energy efficiency and scale easily. Built for OCP (Open Compute Project) ORv3 HPR (High Power Rack) environments, the system delivers high-density power while reducing energy costs and simplifying operations. With flexible support for AC and HVDC inputs, real-time monitoring, and modular scalability, this solution enables agile expansion, allowing IT teams to meet growing power demands without increasing rack space or complexity, unlike a traditional UPS with separate rectification and power distribution, or low-density DC power supplies.
“Today’s data centers face increasing pressure to deliver more power in less space to support the rapid growth of AI and HPC applications,” said Kyle Keeper, Senior Vice President of Vertiv’s PowerDirect Rack business unit. “Vertiv PowerDirect Rack addresses these challenges with a scalable and efficient DC power design that gives operators the flexibility to adapt to changing workload demands and build future-proof infrastructure.”.
Designed for optimal performance and adaptability, the Vertiv PowerDirect Rack offers benefits that simplify power management and improve energy efficiency in data centers. Key features include:
- Up to 132kW per rack with N+N redundancy, enabling high-density deployments with a space-saving, scalable power architecture.
- Achieves up to 97.5% energy efficiency, minimizing energy consumption, reducing cooling demand, and cutting operating costs.
- Accepts both AC and HVDC inputs for seamless integration across multiple power infrastructures in future-proof data centers.
- Hot-swappable modular design for uninterrupted operations and smooth scalability as power needs grow.
- Advanced power management and reliability, with built-in security, maintain continuous performance and prevent outages.
This system represents a significant addition to Vertiv's extensive portfolio of power and cooling products and services to support AI and HPC acceleration.
