Eaton has unveiled the delivery of a new reference architecture designed to accelerate the adoption of 800 VDC power in artificial intelligence (AI) data centres.
Built in support of the 800 VDC architecture announced by NVIDIA, Eaton’s new design leverages its power management technology to protect and optimise high-density computing infrastructure.
“Streamlined 800 VDC architectures enable AI infrastructure to meet rising workload demands while maximising energy efficiency,” said Dion Harris, senior director, HPC, Cloud and AI Infrastructure at NVIDIA. “NVIDIA’s collaboration with innovators like Eaton is paving the way for high-density computing environments built for the AI industrial age.”
Powering AI data centres
NVIDIA and power, silicon and data centre partners collaborate to pioneer the adoption of 800 VDC. This enables scalability and energy optimisation in AI factories, with power distribution integrated with energy storage.
Eaton’s reference design incorporates Eaton solutions with NVIDIA AI infrastructure. Eaton products featured in the design include supercapacitors, power distribution technology, a hot aisle containment system, DC connectors, and more.
“The introduction of 800 VDC architectures is a transformative advancement for data centre innovation that will enable new possibilities in AI computing,” said JP Buzzell, vice president and data centre chief architect at Eaton. “We’re proud to deepen our collaboration with NVIDIA with the introduction of this new reference design, a major step in our grid-to-chip strategy, as we help accelerate the transition to the AI factory of the future.”
Eaton’s grid-to-chip strategy aims to provide intelligent solutions for power distribution, backup power and digital technologies in AI data centres.
