In a world where AI and edge computing are no longer future trends but present realities, the data centre industry faces a pivotal moment. At Vertiv, we want to lead the conversation—and the transformation—toward more resilient, intelligent, and efficient digital infrastructure.
The Future of Digital Infrastructure, our latest eBook in collaboration with Onnec, a leading Channel partner in Northern Europe for IT Infrastructure design, installation and operational support services, dives deep into the forces shaping tomorrow’s data centres and the urgent need for evolution today.
Here are the five key takeaways from our eBook:
The AI Disruption Is Now
AI is redefining workload demands—requiring more power, cooling, and speed. This means traditional facilities are no longer enough. High-density computing is accelerating the shift toward next-gen power and thermal solutions. Onnec’s experience in deploying structured cabling and physical infrastructure at scale complements Vertiv’s innovations in high-density cooling and power management. Together, we deploy solutions capable of supporting the extreme demands of AI workloads.
Edge Is the New Core
As latency becomes a business-critical factor, edge computing is taking centre stage. Distributed IT is no longer just a trend—it's essential. With Onnec’s on-the-ground expertise in network integration and site deployment and Vertiv’s edge-ready solutions, we strive to empower organisations to deploy reliable infrastructure wherever it’s needed, from urban centres to remote locations.
Energy Use and Effeciency Are Strategic Imperatives
Environmental responsibility is no longer optional. Data centre operators are seeking partners that help them reduce their carbon footprint without compromising uptime. Both Vertiv and Onnec support customers through energy-efficient UPS systems, advanced cooling technologies, and innovative cabling strategies that minimise waste and maximise operational efficiency.
Standardisation and Modularity Lead to Agility
Speed to market is everything. The demand for scalable, repeatable solutions is rising, especially in hyperscale and colocation data centers. Vertiv’s modular systems streamline deployments while reducing risk and cost—delivering flexibility without complexity, while Onnec’s work in standardising cabling design and providing consistency across deployments helps streamline infrastructure delivery.
Collaboration Will Drive Innovation
The future isn't built alone. From consultants and engineers to channel partners and end users, we must align across the ecosystem. That’s why our partnership with Onnec is so valuable. Their proven track record in physical infrastructure delivery and operational support complements Vertiv’s technology leadership—focusing on innovation that is both practical and scalable for real-world demands.
Conclusion
The world is changing fast—and the infrastructure powering it must evolve even faster. At Vertiv, we're not just responding to change; we're helping our customers lead it. Whether you're rethinking your edge strategy, exploring AI-ready infrastructure, or pursuing efficient and high performance operations, we’re here to help you design and deploy with confidence. And through our partnership with Onnec, we’re bringing together technology and execution to deliver integrated, intelligent infrastructure solutions that are ready for the future.
