HVDC Power Rack Solutions

A dedicated rack placed beside compute racks that converts AC power into 800 VDC/±400 VDC and distributes it to the compute rack. It centralizes power conversion, redundancy, and optional battery backup outside the compute rack, enabling higher compute density while allowing 800 VDC/±400 VDC systems to operate in existing AC data centers.
