As data centers and high-performance computing environments scale to unprecedented levels, traditional power distribution architectures face critical limitations. This presentation explores the next frontier in energy delivery: the 1 MW rack and the evolution beyond sidecar designs through advanced 800 VDC strategies. We will examine how VDC optimizes efficiency, reduces losses, and supports the growing demands of AI workloads and hyperscale infrastructure.

Attendees will gain insights into design considerations, safety standards, and integration approaches that enable sustainable, high-density power distribution for future-ready facilities. Join us to understand why 800VDC is not just an alternative—it’s the foundation for powering the next generation of compute.

Key Takeaways:

• High-voltage direct current (HVDC) architectures are essential for meeting the massive power demands of AI workloads and hyperscale data centers. Moving beyond traditional sidecar designs unlocks the ability to support 1 MW racks efficiently.
• HVDC reduces conversion losses, improves energy efficiency, and minimizes infrastructure footprint—critical for sustainable, future-ready facilities.
• Learn how optimized HVDC strategies lower operational costs while supporting green initiatives. Implementing HVDC at scale requires careful attention to design considerations, safety standards, and integration approaches.

These best practices ensure reliable, secure, and scalable power distribution for next-generation compute environments.
