How Vertiv’s Latest Solutions Support AI-Ready Data Centres
Announcing four new systems designed to address challenges driven by the rapid growth of AI applications, Vertiv is expanding its global capabilities.
Eager to support infrastructure management, prefabricated modular deployment, advanced thermal management and data centre power distribution, the company wants to provide options for managing the increased power and heat density, complexity and operational demands of AI.
The news comes as demand for AI infrastructure continues to skyrocket, as data centres are faced with capacity constraints and sustainability challenges. AI requires higher levels of power and energy to run, which is leaving a gap in the market for new innovations to enable more AI-ready data centres.
“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,” says Scott Armul, Executive Vice President, Global Portfolio and Business Units at Vertiv.
Vertiv’s new platforms, unpacked
Vertiv Unify software
This platform is a consolidated management platform that is designed to provide real-time visibility, control and advanced analytics across critical power and thermal infrastructure. This ranges from individual assets up to a fully connected cloud environment.
The software aims to enhance system performance, safety and scalability for AI-intensive data centres. Likewise, it offers plug-and-play configurations, simplified energy usage reporting and global and site-specific scalability.
Vertiv also enables seamless integration and coordination across its systems through this platform, which hopes to be useful for those wishing to use a full suite of power train and thermal chain equipment.
Vertiv SmartRun
As a modular prefabricated overhead infrastructure solution, Vertiv SmartRun integrates high-density power distribution busbar, liquid cooling piping network, hot aisle containment and network infrastructure into a single scalable system.
This is 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.
Vertiv says that installation, maintenance and service are supported by its services to provide an end-to-end solution.
Vertiv CoolLoop RDHx
The CoolLoop RDHx offering is a chilled water high-density rear door heat exchanger. It is designed to support the increasing thermal demands of AI, high-performance computing (HPC) and other power-dense IT workloads.
The 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. Additionally, Vertiv says it has an integrated fan module that delivers precise airflow control, whilst also reducing energy consumption to optimise cooling performance.
It also integrates with the liquid cooling loop and the modular design allows integration into existing data centres to enhance thermal efficiency and simplify cooling infrastructure.
Vertiv PowerDirect Rack
Vertiv PowerDirect Rack is designed to help data centres maximise power efficiency and scale with ease, in support of AI and HPC applications. It offers a complete infrastructure power solution and is built for Open Compute Project (OCP) ORv3 High Power Rack (HPR) environments.
It also delivers high-density power and is scalable up to 132 kW per rack. Likewise, the solution is compatible with AC and HVDC input and offers real-time monitoring, for improved flexibility and visibility.
How Vertiv is scaling sustainable growth
As a global leader in digital data centre infrastructure that is committed to powering and cooling data, Vertiv prides itself on its broad range of solutions to maximise the efficiency of data centre infrastructure.
In recent months, the company has also been supporting the sustainable goals of its customers, having also introduced Vertiv TimberMod in 2023 to utilise mass timber instead of steel to build prefabricated modular (PFM) data centre solutions.
Likewise in March 2025, Vertiv introduced a new thermal management solution, the Vertiv CoolLoop Trim Cooler, which is built to handle the water temperature variations common in liquid-cooled systems.
Scott adds: “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 centres.”
