Powering AI at scale: How WWT relies on Vertiv™ rPDUs

Background

At WWT’s Advanced Technology Center (ATC), 500+ racks drive the next wave of AI innovation. But power isn’t just about watts—it’s about control, reliability, and scalability. With Vertiv™ rPDUs, WWT keeps its AI infrastructure optimized, resilient, and always ready for the next breakthrough.

Challenge

AI workloads bring unprecedented power and cooling demands, often exceeding the limits of traditional infrastructure. WWT needed a scalable, reliable solution to optimize performance, manage high-power densities, and maintain seamless operation under peak conditions.

Solution

WWT turned to Vertiv™ rack power distribution units (rPDUs), engineered for AI-ready environments. These innovative rPDUs provide:

• Combination outlets for universal compatibility.
• Color-coded receptacles to simplify load balancing and cable management.
• Receptacle-level monitoring for real-time usage insights and overload prevention.
• Pivoting connectors for flexible installation and global standardization.
