The landscape of power distribution is evolving rapidly, and organizations across many industries are seeking solutions that combine technical reliability with attractive affordability.
As an exciting development in this market space, I was really pleased to recently introduce Vertiv™ PowerGo to our partners and customers as our innovative answer to modern power distribution challenges.
Understanding market dynamics
While Vertiv has traditionally excelled in data center environments, we've recognized the clear and growing need for well-specified, cost-effective power distribution in other areas—especially in retail, industrial sectors like manufacturing and healthcare, and office environments such as finance, consulting, and customer service. From AV equipment and diagnostic machines to routers, servers, and computers, organizations require dependable infrastructure to support a wide range of essential electronic and IT systems.That need is only increasing with the rise of workplace digitization, IoT implementation, and the proliferation of connected devices. Even compact edge data centers, sometimes as small as a single rack, require efficient power distribution in maintaining operational continuity.
The Vertiv innovation journey
As power distribution product manager for the EMEA market at Vertiv, I was proud to lead the transition from our legacy entry-point product line to the new Vertiv™ PowerGo. This wasn’t just a product refreshment, it was an opportunity to rethink what power distribution should look like in today’s hybrid, high-demand environments.
Vertiv PowerGo reflects our vision for a modern, cost-effective power distribution solution that addresses contemporary IT, office, and industrial requirements.
The Vertiv PowerGo family has been designed as a full portfolio of compact-sized rack power distribution units (rPDUs) designed with efficiency, reliability, and flexibility in mind, to be used in a small server room, a distributed edge environment or an advanced industrial manufacturing site.
Flexible portfolio, scalable functionality
The Vertiv™ PowerGo product line is structured to meet a wide variety of different power distribution application requirements:
- Basic rPDUs deliver reliable power in a compact format, fitting seamlessly into a variety of IT racks and more general installation scenarios.

- Switched rPDUs provide individual outlet control and comprehensive power usage insights, particularly when used with the Vertiv™ Intelligence Director software platform for real-time monitoring and data collection.
Vertiv PowerGo addresses these challenges through a focused approach, emphasizing the most crucial features while maintaining design consistency and competitive pricing. What was particularly pleasing was to get a result which offers easier and consistent installation, more intuitive control, deeper power usage insights and long-term reliability, all while again offering excellent affordability.
