Where Vertiv sits in the stack
Vertiv's placements in this catalog cover 22 parts, from layer 4 (servers, racks & integration) to layer 11 (software, tools & services touching the hardware (optional)). None of them currently carries a sourced supply constraint tag. Across these parts it overlaps with other companies most often on the lines below.
What these parts are
- DCIM, digital twins, capacity planning — Software that models a data center's power, cooling, space, and asset capacity in a live digital twin, giving operators visibility into what a facility can still support.
- Power shelves & PSUs — The rack-mounted power shelves that convert facility AC or DC input into the regulated rail distributed to trays across the rack, built to the Open Rack V3 33 kW-class spec used in rack-scale AI systems.
- Enclosures — The rack cabinet frame itself — the enclosure that chassis and trays mount into, sold either as a standalone product or built in-house by the rack ODM.
- Rack PDUs — The power distribution units mounted in or beside a rack that meter and distribute power to individual devices, sitting between facility power and the rack's internal busbar or whips.
- Direct-to-chip cold plates — A metal plate with internal microchannels, bonded or clamped directly onto a GPU, CPU, or switch package, that carries coolant across the die to remove heat by conduction rather than airflow.
- and 17 more in the table above.
