Vertiv at SC26
What are you building next?
The AI era is changing what’s possible and what’s required for the data center.
At SC26, step inside the Vertiv booth and experience your current and future end-to-end data center infrastructure path.
Explore how power, cooling, infrastructure, services, and software work together to support increasingly complex AI and high-performance computing (HPC) environments.
Choose your path. Explore what’s possible with end-to-end systems and services built for multiple compute generations ahead.
Exhibitor forum sessions
Moderator in an SC26 Birds of a Feather (BoF) session
Speaker: Jeff Autor
As direct liquid cooling scales, the interface between IT systems and facility mechanical infrastructure becomes more critical. This BoF explores four challenges. First, high-temperature cooling (heat-reuse, IT thermal margins) and dew point (prevent condensation). Second, warm-water fluid quality (filtration and added chemicals to prevent corrosion, biological growth, and scaling). Third, temperature and fluid dynamics with rapid workload power swings (volumetric expansion, pump cavitation, facility response characteristics). Fourth, integrating telemetry into IT systems and building automation (predict thermal excursions, reduce trapped capacity). This session is intended for facility engineers, system integrators, operations, administrators, architects, and researchers in energy-efficiency and sustainability
Beyond 800 VDC architectures: grid-to-chip power architecture shifts for AI factories
Speaker: Chris Thompson, Vice President, Global Advanced Technology and Microgrid Solutions, Vertiv
Track: Hardware and Architecture
Explore grid-to-rack power architecture considerations as rack densities advance toward 300 kW, 600 kW, and megawatt-class systems.
The session will compare AC, medium-voltage AC, 800 VDC, and centralized DC approaches while addressing storage, fault tolerance, load smoothing, grid interactivity, and GPU throttling risk.
