NVIDIA GB300 NVL72: Blackwell Ultra Deployment
Here''s what deployment engineers need to know about power, cooling, and cabling for these 120 kW AI data center cabinets.
View DetailsIncreasing rack power density both in the data center and at the network edge means that reliable power distribution is crucial. Our innovative power distribution units and rack PDUs not only maintain power, but they also enable us to support you in any challenges your IT infrastructure might face.
It is estimated that by 2020, the power density of a single rack cabinet in data centers will achieve 16.5kW. For example, when Intel retrofitted two foundries into a green data center with high power density, the power density per rack reached as high as 43kW. Source: Colocation America, 2014
According to AFCOM's 2024 State of the Data Center Report, average rack density now sits around 12 kW. That's 2x the 6.1 kW per rack they initially reported in 2016. Despite doubling average density in just eight years, 12 kW still isn't enough. Data center operators are being asked to support 30 kW+ per rack.
Kilowatt per rack (kW/rack) is the power assigned to a server rack in a data center. It is measured in kilowatts (kW) and represents the total power needed for all IT equipment in that rack. Colocation providers offer different power levels: Power density depends on server type, workload, and cooling efficiency.
