About the Event:
Join us for a focused, high-impact session at AI INFRA SUMMIT 5, where the conversation moves beyond planning into how AI infrastructure is actually being deployed, from power and cooling constraints to compute, supply chain, and capital coordination.
Hear directly from the operators, builders, and investors shaping the infrastructure layer as they share how decisions are being made in real time, what’s working in production, and where the current bottlenecks are forming.
Get a clear view into how the next phase of AI infrastructure is taking shape, connect with the people driving it forward, and understand where you fit as this market continues to build under real constraints.
Panel: AC to DC: Powering the AI Era
3:45 PM
The AI era is pushing data center power architecture beyond traditional limits. A decade ago, a typical server rack consumed around 15 kW. Today, platforms like NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin Ultra are expected to require up to 600 kW per rack, with future systems potentially reaching 1,500 kW.
This rapid scale in density is driving a fundamental shift in power delivery, from traditional 415V AC systems toward 800V DC architectures. This panel will explore what this transition means for infrastructure design, efficiency, and scalability.
