Power, networking, and cooling for data hall deployments
Critical digital infrastructure provider Vertiv has launched a modular prefabricated overhead infrastructure system known as Vertiv SmartRun.
The company claims that the system can be deployed 85 percent faster on-site than traditional stick-build methods, allowing for installations greater than 1MW per day with just a single crew – not including offsite manufacturing times.
The system integrates the power distribution busbar, liquid cooling pipe network, hot-aisle containment, and network infrastructure into a single unit. It includes a secondary fluid network in its design, while prefabricated stainless steel piping systems are aimed at reducing the complexity of design, fabrication, and start up.
“As digital infrastructure demands evolve, organizations require solutions that accelerate growth without adding complexity,” said Viktor Petik, SVP, infrastructure solutions at Vertiv.
“Vertiv SmartRun is a strategic investment in high-density, prefabricated infrastructure that brings operational agility and enables seamless expansion to support the future of high-density computing.”
The system is aimed at fitting out a data hall, while competitor Schneider Electric has sold prefabricated shipping containers since 2022. This February, Nautilus announced its own prefab product backed by Overwatch.
