Vertiv Holdings introduced the PowerNexus MV UPS, an outdoor‑rated medium‑voltage power system that combines UPS, fault ride‑through and AI‑based power smoothing. The unit is designed to sit at the utility connection point, protecting critical loads and keeping indoor floor space for servers. Vertiv says the skid can reach 98.5% peak efficiency and can run on long‑duration batteries for up to four hours, lowering diesel generator use. Shipments are planned to start in mid‑2027.
Why it matters
Data‑center operators can install more compute hardware in the same building while reducing reliance on diesel backup.
