The solution integrates rack infrastructure, power conversion, liquid cooling, and monitoring into a single validated unit, supporting NVIDIA’s **MGX** and **Open Compute Project ORV3** architectures. It is available globally for enterprises, research institutions, and colocation providers, enabling seamless deployment in existing or new facilities without redesigns.\n\nSmartIT supports NVIDIA’s **GB300 NVL72**, **Vera Rubin NVL72**, **DGX Rubin NVL8**, and **HGX Rubin NVL8** systems. The platform scales from single racks to multi-rack deployments, with built-in monitoring, leak detection, and support for protocols like **Redfish** and **SNMP**. Vertiv claims it reduces deployment timelines by replacing on-site integration with factory validation, offering a single order and architecture for power, cooling, and IT systems. The company also highlighted its compatibility with brownfield facilities and Class A commercial buildings, allowing AI-class density without full reconstruction.","keyPoints":["SmartIT integrates power, cooling, and monitoring into a single pre-engineered unit for NVIDIA MGX/OCP ORV3 AI systems","Supports NVIDIA GB300 NVL72, Vera Rubin NVL72, DGX Rubin NVL8, and HGX Rubin NVL8 with factory validation","Vertiv claims it reduces deployment timelines by eliminating on-site integration, targeting enterprises and colocation providers"],"whyItMatters":"SmartIT simplifies AI infrastructure deployment for enterprises, reducing complexity and downtime by combining power, cooling, and IT systems into a single validated unit.
