Power Hardware for High-Density Environments

As AI and HPC workloads continue to push rack power requirements higher, data center operators need infrastructure that can keep pace.

In this DCD>Talks interview, Calvin Nicholson, Senior Director of Product Management at Legrand explores how power hardware is evolving to meet the demands of AI and HPC environments — from higher rack densities and increased amperage requirements to changing voltage approaches and the growing role of Open Compute architectures.

Watch now to gain practical insight to help inform your next-generation white space power strategy.

In this episode, Legrand's Data Center Specialists discuss new critical considerations for powering the most complex AI models that demand unprecedented scale.

Key insights you’ll gain include:

• How increasing rack densities are reshaping cabinet and rack power design.
• Why higher-amperage PDUs are becoming critical for high-density deployments.
• How higher voltages and emerging 800VDC architectures could influence future power strategies.
• The role Open Compute hardware can play in supporting modern high-performance workloads.
• What operators should consider as AI and HPC demands continue to scale.
