The rise of 800 VDC architectures in modern data centers
This episode is available to stream on-demand.
As AI workloads accelerate, and compute densities rise, the industry is shifting toward 800 VDC architectures to keep pace. This episode explores what 800 VDC is, why it’s becoming critical for scaling larger clusters and denser racks, and how data centers can prepare for this new power paradigm. Join the discussion to learn:
- Why higher-voltage DC is emerging as a key enabler for large-scale AI and HPC environments
- The benefits and challenges of moving to 800 VDC in data center design
- How data centers can address immediate constraints when developing 800 VDC racks
- Broader considerations for optimizing entire facilities for efficiency, safety, and scalability
