Vertiv and Colovore: Delivering AI-Ready Colocation

The innovation and rate of growth in artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) applications are staggering. Autonomous cars, fraud detection, business intelligence, affinity marketing, personalized medicine, Alexa, Siri, smart cities and the Internet of Things (IoT) are just a few of the commercial and consumer-driven applications exploding in use on a global scale. Underlying these offerings are dense computing platforms and IT infrastructures that require highly specialized data center environments in order to perform reliably and scale efficiently. Legacy on-premise or colocation data centers, built years ago to support general-purpose computing servers, are becoming obsolete in certain markets due to the intense power and cooling requirements of the HPC and AI servers. These servers are built upon processing-intensive components such as graphics processing unit (GPU) cards and dual central processing unit (CPU) architectures.
