In an age where demand for AI is ever-growing, data center design is being redefined by one critical constraint: power. Increasing rack densities, grid limitations, and uneven capacity across regions are driving a shift toward higher-voltage architectures. In this session, Eaton explores how the industry is converging on 800VDC infrastructure, from medium-voltage solid-state transformer (MVSST) to DC UPS and sidecar solutions as a key enabler of scalable, high-density AI deployments. In particular, we will discuss:

  • Why the industry is moving toward 800VDC architectures to support next-generation AI workloads
  • How these evolving technologies fit within a wider system-level architecture approach, from grid to chip
  • The role of MVSST in enabling direct, efficient power delivery for high-density environments, and how it compares to alternative approaches
  • How regional AI demand and grid constraints are driving different infrastructure strategies
