- Vertiv management said the global pipeline for AI and traditional cloud infrastructure is accelerating across hyperscalers, enterprises and AI laboratories.
- Hybrid 800 VDC deployments are expected to begin in the second half of 2027, followed by native end-to-end systems in the second half of 2028.
- Capacity, quality and manufacturing efficiency remain the key execution priorities as Vertiv scales.
Vertiv management used the Baird 2026 Global Industrial Conference on Tuesday, November 10, to reinforce the growth case for AI infrastructure while highlighting the execution demands of rapid expansion. A Investing.com transcript said Chief Executive Giordano Albertazzi described demand for AI and traditional cloud computing as resilient and increasingly global.
Albertazzi said the speed of pipeline growth has increased and that demand is coming from hyperscalers, enterprise customers and AI laboratories. Management also said the company is seeing demand beyond AI workloads, including more traditional cloud computing.
Power architecture moves forward
Vertiv expects hybrid infrastructure that converts to 800 VDC near the IT load to begin appearing in the second half of 2027. Native end-to-end 800 VDC systems are expected from the second half of 2028. Management said customer and silicon-provider discussions have supported the roadmap, while traditional low-voltage AC systems should remain relevant for flexible, long-life colocation facilities.
The company is also extending its position upstream in data-center planning through the UtilityInnovation Group acquisition. Management said the deal adds capabilities in behind-the-meter power generation and grid orchestration and can provide earlier visibility into customer decisions about land, power and site design.
Scaling remains the main test
Chief Financial Officer Craig Chamberlin said Vertiv must add capacity while maintaining quality and efficiency. The company is moving more modular and prefabricated work toward factory-based production, with safety stock, process controls and stronger communication between sites intended to reduce project complexity.
Vertiv also presented liquid cooling as a structural opportunity as data-center power density rises. Management said the company remains active across air and liquid cooling and expects different technologies to coexist as customer requirements evolve.
