Vertiv, a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, has announced the launch of a new AI Hub, aiming to bridge the knowledge gap around data center AI deployments and infrastructure. The AI Hub is designed to give partners, customers and visitors access to expert information, reference designs and resources to help plan an AI-enabled infrastructure.
Vertiv's AI Hub features a comprehensive suite of resources including white papers, industry research, tools, and a power and cooling portfolio for both retrofit and greenfield applications. Among its notable offerings is a new reference design library showcasing scalable liquid cooling and power infrastructure supporting a range of chipsets from 10kW to 140kW per rack.
Reflecting the rapid evolution of the AI technology stack and the infrastructure that supports it, the Vertiv AI Hub is continually updated with new content, including an AI Infrastructure Certification program for Vertiv partners, a testament to the company's commitment to staying at the forefront of advancements in AI technology and infrastructure.
“Vertiv has a history of sharing cutting-edge technology and insights for the data center industry,” said Giordano (Gio) Albertazzi, CEO of Vertiv. “We are committed to providing our deep knowledge, broad portfolio, and expert guidance to help customers deploy energy-efficient AI power and cooling infrastructure for current and future applications. Our close collaborations with leading chipmakers and innovative data center operators uniquely position us to help our customers and partners with their AI adoption.”
Sean Graham, data center research director at IDC, endorsed Vertiv's efforts, saying, “Nearly every industry is exploring opportunities to drive business value through AI, but there are more questions than answers about how to deploy infrastructure. An established infrastructure provider like Vertiv is valuable for enterprises developing an AI strategy and looking for a single source of information.”
The launch of the AI Hub comes amid a surge in AI applications across industries. Yet parallel to this growth has been a significant lack of trusted resources to guide AI cluster deployment and infrastructure strategies. The AI Hub aims to address this gap by providing thoroughly researched, expert-curated information. By providing tools and resources within a dynamic, frequently updated platform, Vertiv hopes to empower customers and partners to more effectively navigate the complexities of AI technology.
The AI Hub leverages Vertiv's extensive experience and insights in the data center industry. Users will find well-documented reference designs and actionable strategies tailored to meet the growing demands of AI power and cooling infrastructure. Additionally, with the introduction of the AI Infrastructure Certification Program, Vertiv aims to improve partners' expertise and readiness to implement advanced AI solutions.
In summary, Vertiv's introduction of the AI Hub represents a major step forward in addressing the AI knowledge gap in the data center industry. The platform aims to provide stakeholders with the tools, strategies, and certifications necessary to support the planning and deployment of a robust AI infrastructure, highlighting Vertiv's leadership and innovative approach in the ever-evolving AI landscape.
