As demand for AI accelerates, 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 sidecar solutions as a key enabler of scalable, high-density AI deployments.
The conversation will talk about the different deployment strategies of the technologies and key considerations for customers.
- Conversion topologies (in-row, end-of-row, MV level)
- Considerations for each topology
- Overall system considerations (networking, cooling, chillers, etc.)
