Learn how AI’s emergence resulted in the rise of hybrid IT and colocation data center design strategies. Apply Vertiv’s imperatives to architect a scalable, secure, and performance-driven AI infrastructure for today’s demands.
AI is reshaping data center strategy
AI is reshaping infrastructure strategies across industries like healthcare, finance, biotech, and government. This e-book explores how cloud and colocation environments are accelerating AI deployment for regulated compute-intensive workloads, driving new imperatives in scalability, compliance, and operational efficiency.
Infrastructure shift underway
Rack-scale deployments are replacing traditional builds. Systems like NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and Blackwell DGX SuperPODs now push rack densities past 120kW, requiring direct-to-chip liquid cooling and modular capacity blocks with 4-to-make-3 redundancy. Colocation teams are deploying up to 2.6MW of IT capacity per pod, delivering speed, density, and precision at scale.
Hybrid IT acceleration
98% of enterprises are moving toward hybrid IT. As generative AI expands, workloads are shifting from public cloud to colocation for better control and faster deployment. Facilities with pre-integrated pods and rapid power onboarding can cut deployment cycles by up to 50%, helping teams avoid thermal and compliance risks while accelerating time-to-service.
