Piorko noted that AI continues to define industry conversations and infrastructure planning. Traditional data centers operated with rack capacities of two to three kilowatts. The rise of AI workloads has pushed this requirement to more than fifty kilowatts per rack, transforming the fundamental design of power, cooling, and space. He described this shift as a reminder of how quickly the industry evolves and why operators must remain adaptable and scalable as technology advances.
360AI, OneCore, and SmartAisle for High Performance ComputingVertiv's new portfolio, including 360 AI, OneCore, EnergyCore, and SmartAisle, is designed to help operators prepare for high performance computing. 360AI offers an integrated data center concept that brings all critical components together. OneCore provides a systematic approach tailored for AI factories and complex workloads that demand higher densities and rapid scaling. Piorko explained that these solutions respond directly to the need for infrastructure that can keep pace with fast-moving technological change.
Designing for Future ReadinessFuture readiness has become a central priority for operators. Piorko pointed to Vertiv's close partnership with NVIDIA, which introduces new chips almost every six months. This rapid hardware cycle creates uncertainty for operators who must decide which generation of processors to design for. Scalability and flexibility are therefore essential. Vertiv's systems are engineered to help customers build facilities that can evolve with future AI hardware without requiring complete redesigns.
