Vertiv has introduced the new Vertiv™ PowerIT rack power distribution units [PDUs] to support the rising power demands of AI and high-performance computing [HPC]. The units offer advanced power management, flexible designs, and stronger components for reliable scaling of data centre power. Basic, monitored, and switched models are now available in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
With server racks now exceeding 25 kW, data centres need robust, high-capacity solutions. The Vertiv PowerIT rack PDU uses three-phase power distribution [208V Delta for North America, 240/415V WYE for EMEA/international], which balances loads, reduces circuit risks, and improves stability.
“AI and HPC are driving massive power needs. Our new PowerIT rack PDUs give customers the reliability and flexibility to scale efficiently.” noted Andrea Ferro, VP for power & IT systems in EMEA.
Key features include:
- Real-time monitoring for optimised energy use [monitored & switched models].
- Rugged design operating up to 140°F [60°C] and 95% humidity.
- Remote outlet control in switched models for flexibility and protection.
- Security features such as Secure Boot in monitored models.
- Customisation options for outlets, input types, and colours.
- Seven-year coverage with the Vertiv™ Distribution Assurance Package, plus 24/7 support and professional startup services.
