Vertiv, a major global provider of critical digital infrastructure solutions, has announced the worldwide release of Vertiv SmartRun, a prefabricated overhead infrastructure system that will significantly accelerate the fit-out process for new and upgraded data centres.
The modular solution is designed to integrate essential data centre components, including high-density power distribution busbars, liquid cooling pipes, hot-aisle containment, and network cabling, into a single, scalable unit.
The Vertiv SmartRun system has a pre-assembled, plug-and-play design, combined with a simplified single-lift installation method, allows for deployment up to 85% faster than traditional on-site construction. According to the company, the speed can enable data centre installations exceeding one megawatt of capacity per day with just one installation team. The pre-engineered system also reduces the amount of labour needed for engineering reviews and the installation of various overhead systems, providing a more streamlined approach to infrastructure integration.
Additionally, Vertiv SmartRun uses new heat removal technologies that can handle AI workloads. The system integrates a dedicated fluid network into its design, featuring prefabricated stainless steel piping. The approach simplifies the design, fabrication and initial setup of liquid cooling systems, offering a single point of contact for end-to-end liquid cooling support within the data centre environment.
“As digital infrastructure demands evolve, organisations require solutions that accelerate growth without adding complexity,” said Viktor Petik, Senior Vice President, Infrastructure Solutions at Vertiv.
