AI Solutions Roadshow
According to McKinsey & Company, data centers are expected to use 606 terawatt-hours by 2030, which is 11.7% of the total U.S. power demand. This is largely due to the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) which requires advanced technology and ample power supply to be supported. Vertiv recognized the need to educate owners of high-tech facilities on the challenges and opportunities associated with supporting AI workloads and created the AI Solutions Roadshow. This global series of events started in 2024 and continues to run thanks to Vertiv’s partnership with NVIDIA. In these events, attendees learn how to effectively deploy high-performance computing (HPC) and AI infrastructure without wasting resources.
Vertiv’s AI Solutions Roadshow was a massive success, with about 1.6K attendees in 2024 alone. Participants got to hear from Vertiv experts on how to optimize cooling and power systems, racks, and system management to meet the demands of AI technology and prepare for future operations. These events also announced the new Vertiv™ 360AI, a solution specifically designed to properly power and cool high-density operations like AI.
Vertiv™ AI Hub
Vertiv didn’t just educate people on how to meet the demands of AI and HPC, they also created a brand-new resource for people to do their own research. Launched in 2024, the Vertiv™ AI Hub provides access to industry research, a library of reference designs, deployment solutions, and partnerships with industry leaders. This page is full of expert information and links to Vertiv products specifically designed to meet the needs of high-density environments. So even if you can’t attend one of Vertiv’s AI Solutions Roadshow events, you can learn more about how to prepare your facility for the future and even speak with an expert to find your perfect equipment.
Vertiv™ CoolPhase Flex
Among the Vertiv stock launched in 2024 was the Vertiv™ CoolPhase Flex Packaged System. This product is the first of its kind created by Vertiv and Compass Datacenters to provide a hybrid cooling system suited for AI technology. The Vertiv™ CoolPhase Flex can be deployed as either an air or liquid cooling solution and be converted in the field from one mode to the other in as little as four hours, without requiring additional internal components. This adaptability ensures that data centers can efficiently respond to changing cooling requirements with minimal disruption. One of the most versatile Vertiv products released in 2024, the Vertiv™ CoolPhase Flex is a strong solution for facilities looking to expand their high-density workloads without causing prolonged downtime.
2025 Vertiv Products
Vertiv continues to look for new ways to benefit their clients through their products and service offerings. And the beginning of 2025 has already brought plenty of brand-new solutions to the Vertiv stock, all aimed at improving the daily operations of high-tech facilities everywhere.
Vertiv™ Unify
Data centers have grown exponentially to meet the demands of AI, HPC, and other high-density operations. As a result, managing a facility’s power and cooling systems has become even more important and complicated. That’s why Vertiv launched the new Vertiv™ Unify program, so data center operators could access power and cooling systems through a single, unified interface. This not only streamlines operations, but also helps operators ensure everything is running as it should. The sooner inefficiencies are spotted, the sooner changes can be made to minimize downtime.
Vertiv™ CoolLoop RDHx
High-density environments require reliable cooling solutions, and there are plenty of Vertiv products that can handle the task. The latest of these solutions is the Vertiv™ CoolLoop RDHx, a rack-based chilled water rear-door heat exchanger. Taking the place of your rack’s rear door, this cooling solution saves space while maintaining ideal temperatures. Its passive and active fan units create an adjustable cooling system that can meet varying thermal loads. So, no matter what kind of server rack you have or location it’s in, the Vertiv™ CoolLoop RDHx can help prevent your equipment from overheating and increase its longevity.
Vertiv™ SmartRun
In order to keep up with growing technological demands, data centers need to expand quickly. The Vertiv™ SmartRun is a prefabricated overhead infrastructure solution specifically designed to accelerate data center deployment. It does this by integrating power distribution, liquid cooling, hot aisle containment, and network infrastructure into a single, scalable system. This solution not only minimizes installation costs, but also enhances operational efficiency, allowing data centers to scale quickly and reliably. Like other Vertiv products, the Vertiv™ SmartRun is built with innovation and flexibility in mind to ensure modern data centers can meet increasing demands with speed and efficiency.
Vertiv™ PowerDirect Rack
Your equipment needs a reliable power supply to operate no matter what. The Vertiv™ PowerDirect Rack provides data centers with a high-density, scalable DC power solution. Able to deliver up to 132 kW per rack with high-efficiency power supply units (PSUs), this Vertiv product can easily support the needs of high-capacity server setups. Not to mention its modular design lets you seamlessly expand your operations by adding power shelves and PSUs as your power needs increase. So, no matter what the future holds, the Vertiv™ PowerDirect Rack can help keep your operations running.
