Trane Technologies and Eaton have released a medium-voltage, DC-focused reference design for data centers that integrates electrical and thermal management systems to cut copper use by up to 80%, reduce installation costs by 30%, and boost energy efficiency by 15%. The design supports NVIDIA's Omniverse DSX Blueprint for AI data centers and aims to simplify deployment while evolving with emerging liquid and direct current technologies.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Data Infrastructure and AI Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

DC-powered data center designs cutting copper and costs signal a shift for you if building AI data center hardware. Now is the time to adopt or partner for lower installation and operating expenses before rivals standardise on these architectures.
