## Summary

Vertiv introduced **SmartIT**, a pre-engineered AI infrastructure platform on October 26, 2026, designed for high-density AI deployments. 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.

SmartIT 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.
