Vertiv Introduces Compact, High-Power Density UPS for Large Data Centers and Other Critical Applications

Vertiv™ PowerUPS 9000 UPS system provides highly energy-efficient, scalable and reliable power protection for space-constrained environments

COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, today introduced the Vertiv™ PowerUPS 9000, an energy-efficient, high-power density uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system with a compact footprint. The system is engineered to support IT applications from traditional computing to high density applications. It is available globally in UL and CE models, from 250 to 1250kW per unit.

The Vertiv PowerUPS 9000 is designed for high-power density, as well as a high double-conversion efficiency of up to 97.5%. The system enables fast and easy installation, with top or bottom cable entry, as well as backfeed protection and ground fault kit options that are embedded in the system without need for extra space or on-site installation. The units are deployable anywhere in the world, reducing potential procurement and service inconsistencies, delivery delays and downtime.

“The Vertiv PowerUPS 9000 UPS is engineered to maximize reliability and efficiency and to minimize footprint and complexity,” said Giovanni Zanei, vice president, large power at Vertiv. “With its modular structure and high-power density, it will deliver energy-efficient, reliable power protection that data center customers are looking for to protect both traditional and mixed AI applications.”

The Vertiv PowerUPS 9000 is Vertiv’s most efficient UPS in its product class, with a physical footprint 32% smaller than previous generations. It is compatible with Vertiv™ EnergyCore lithium battery cabinet, and other battery technologies, including Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) and Nickel-Zinc.

Dedicated, segregated controls and dual, hot-swappable communication and control boards allow each power module to operate independently. In the event of a fault, the affected module can isolate itself, thereby protecting the other modules and enabling continued operation. The continuous-duty solid state static bypass switch optimizes the bypass line, and the system is fully hot-service and hot-swappable, meaning maintenance and upgrades can occur without downtime.

The Vertiv™ PowerUPS 9000 can be enabled with Vertiv™ Next Predict, a preventative maintenance strategy with advanced monitoring, data-driven health analytics and insights that optimizes site operations. By leveraging AI and machine learning algorithms to monitor actual equipment conditions and measure equipment health, Vertiv offers a comprehensive solution for optimal equipment performance and longevity.

In Vertiv’s test labs, Vertiv engineers subjected Vertiv PowerUPS 9000 to extensive Engineering Validation Tests (EVT) and Design Validation Tests (DVT) against a wide spectrum of operational conditions to confirm its performance and reliability in real-world scenarios. It also passed additional environmental, performance and corner case tests - including debris protection, structural tests of seismic integrity and durability, and voltage surge and sag tests - that simulated extreme conditions the system may encounter.
