Vertiv is teaming up with Generate Capital, PBC, on a "Bring Your Own Power & Cooling" (BYOP&C) solution for the US data center market.

Vertiv has also announced a new digital twin offering and a double-stack busway system.

Bring your own power, bring your own cooling

The BYOP&C offering aims to help data center operators speed up deployment in power-constrained markets across the US.

Generate is an infrastructure investment platform.

The BYOP&C will combine Vertiv's power train, thermal chain, and services capabilities with Generate's infrastructure financing, asset ownership, and operational expertise. According to the companies, the offering will enable data center developers to establish on-site power in the near-term, while keeping the option for utility connection in the long term open.

The offering will initially target North American markets that are currently experiencing grid constraints. The two will explore a variety of configurations, including those with reciprocating engines, turbines, fuel cells, pre-engineered integrated cooling, battery energy storage, and alternative energy systems.

"This collaboration expands Vertiv's Bring Your Own Power & Cooling strategy by combining converged physical infrastructure with the financing and ownership models to enable our customers to achieve a faster time to token," said Scott Armul, chief product and technology officer at Vertiv. "By integrating Vertiv's comprehensive power, thermal, and services capabilities with Generate's capital and operational model, we can help customers overcome grid constraints and bring critical capacity online with greater speed and certainty."

"As AI-driven demand accelerates, customers need more than equipment, they need a deployable infrastructure model," said David Crane, CEO of Generate. "Our collaboration with Vertiv combines proven power and cooling infrastructure with flexible financing, ownership, and operations to help customers deploy faster, manage capital efficiently, and preserve long-term grid transition options."

The offering builds on Vertiv's recent collaboration with Caterpillar and Solar Turbines, which also targeted data center operators in power-constrained environments.

Vertiv upgrades digital twin offering, Hut8 is a customer

In other Vertiv news, the company has also evolved its digital twin offering, transitioning it from traditional static modeling to a higher-fidelity platform.

According to the company, this will enable customers to speed up the deployment of its Vertiv OneCore - a modular data center solution - thus scaling AI factories at a more rapid clip.

The upgraded digital twin, instead of using static Building Information Modeling (BIM), leans on a dynamic digital environment built on SimReady assets with Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD) export capabilities.

“The industry is reaching the limits of what traditional, sequential construction can deliver,” said Giordano Albertazzi, CEO at Vertiv. “We are not replacing engineering rigor; we are shifting from a product-in-a-product mentality where mechanical and electrical systems fight for space and control to delivering a unitary, fully coherent system where the digital design and the physical asset are inseparable. This isn’t just prefabrication; it is convergence and interoperability, unlocking compounding gains in speed and efficiency.”

Among its early adopters is Hut 8, an AI cloud and cryptomining provider, which has adopted the Vertiv OneCore modular solution for "select" data center projects.

"We view AI data center infrastructure as an integrated industrial system anchored in power, not as a collection of bespoke real estate projects,” said Asher Genoot, CEO at Hut 8. “Collaborating with Vertiv to deploy the Vertiv OneCore architecture strengthens our ability to standardize design, maintain rigorous delivery timelines, and enhance execution confidence for large-scale AI infrastructure projects.”

Vertiv launches high-capacity double-stack busway system

Vertiv has further announced an addition to the company's PowerBar Track family.

The newcomer is a compact, high-capacity double-stack design that enables higher power density while "optimizing" white-space.

The double-stack busway comes in configurations of up to 2000A under UL standard 857, and up to 2500A for IEC 61439-6 with variants in copper and aluminium conductors.

According to Vertiv, it has been designed with an open-track architecture, which will enable operators to install or relocate tap-off boxes anywhere along the busway while maintaining active load distribution, and each connection point includes built-in mechanical and electrical interlocks.

“Power distribution must keep pace with the scale and density of modern AI and high-performance computing environments,” said Kyle Keeper, senior vice president of the power business unit at Vertiv.

“As customers navigate increasing power demands, tighter space constraints, and rapidly evolving infrastructure requirements, they need solutions that provide flexibility. Vertiv PowerBar Track double stack is designed to address these challenges by enabling compact yet scalable expansion, supporting live changes, and delivering the reliability required in mission-critical data center environments.”

The busway can integrate with Vertiv's PowerBoard Switchgear, UPS systems, and racks, and can also work with Vertiv's OneCore and Smart Run modular offerings.
