Vertiv has introduced a 142 kW cooling-and-power reference architecture for NVIDIA’s GB300 NVL72 platform. The design is available as SimReady™ 3D assets in NVIDIA Omniverse. It enables data-centre teams to model and test layouts before construction.
“Building upon our strong collaboration with NVIDIA and a shared vision to advance AI infrastructure. Vertiv is proud to release our comprehensive reference design and SimReady™ 3D assets for the NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 platform.” Stated Scott Armul, executive vice president of global portfolio and business units at Vertiv. “Vertiv solutions allow customers to not only scale faster. They optimise their AI-focused data centres digitally before a single physical module is built.”
“By combining NVIDIA’s advanced AI platforms with Vertiv’s expertise in power and cooling infrastructure. We’re enabling customers to deploy next-generation data centres that are more efficient, scalable, and ready for the most demanding AI workloads.” Said Dion Harris, senior director of HPC and AI Infrastructure at NVIDIA. “Together, we’re helping organisations unlock new levels of performance and sustainability as they build the future of AI.”
Key points
- Integrated power and cooling. The end-to-end design supports rack loads up to 142 kW and adapts to specific data-centre layouts.
- Digital twin workflow. Omniverse files let IT, facilities and engineering teams collaborate in real time, shortening planning cycles and lowering build risk.
- Energy options. Works with air, liquid or hybrid cooling; higher water-temperature operation can improve annual energy efficiency by up to 70 %.
- Future-ready power. Vertiv and NVIDIA are co-developing 800 V DC infrastructure for 1 MW [and larger] racks, targeting availability in 2026.
- Global support: Deployment and service are backed by Vertiv’s worldwide field-engineering network.
The architecture is part of the Vertiv 360AI portfolio, aimed at simplifying power and cooling for AI and other high-density computing workloads.
