Vertiv, a leading provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, has launched an artificial intelligence (AI) Hub to address the growing need for expert information on building AI-ready data centers. As AI use cases proliferate at an unprecedented rate, data centers are facing a knowledge gap in planning and deploying the necessary infrastructure.
The Vertiv AI Hub offers a one-stop shop for partners, customers, and website visitors to access essential resources for navigating the complexities of AI infrastructure. This includes white papers, industry research, tools, and power and cooling portfolios suitable for both retrofitting existing data centers and building new ones (greenfield applications).
According to the firms blog, a key feature of the Hub is a new reference design library showcasing scalable liquid cooling and power infrastructure solutions. This library caters to a wide range of current and future chipsets, with capacities ranging from 10-140kW per rack.
Recognizing the dynamic nature of the AI field, Vertiv emphasizes the Hub’s status as a continuously evolving platform. New content will be added frequently, including an upcoming AI Infrastructure certification program designed specifically for Vertiv partners.
“Vertiv has a history of sharing new to world technology and insights for the data center industry,” said Vertiv Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Giordano (Gio) Albertazzi. “We are committed to providing deep knowledge, the broadest portfolio, and expert guidance to enable our customers to be among the first to deploy energy-efficient AI power and cooling infrastructure for current and future deployments. Our close partnerships with leading chipmakers and innovative data center operators make us uniquely qualified to help our customers and partners on their AI journey.”
The importance of the Vertiv AI Hub is underscored by Sean Graham, research director, datacenters at IDC. “Virtually every industry is exploring opportunities to drive business value through AI, but there are more questions than answers around how to deploy the infrastructure,” said Graham. “A recognized infrastructure provider like Vertiv is valuable to businesses building an AI strategy and looking for a single source for information.”
