Vertiv launches UPS for edge AI applications

Critical digital infrastructure provider Vertiv has launched an online double-conversion, single-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS) tailored to support critical applications deployed at the network edge, including AI capabilities.

The solution, Vertiv Liebert GXE, is designed to support 230 V applications. It is available in capacities ranging from 1 to 10 kVA.

The solution is available in either a compact tower-only model or a rack/tower convertible design to improve flexibility. It can deliver efficiencies of up to 91% in online mode and up to 96% in eco mode, and uses a battery management system designed to support prolonged battery lifespan while minimising the need for replacements.

The Liebert GXE includes an LCD display offering insights into the UPS status, and provides remote monitoring capabilities for IT infrastructure managers.

Vertiv VP for IT systems solutions Ramesh Menon said the solution can help meet the workload demands of AI-powered applications.

“Demand for AI is one of the primary drivers for the surge in electricity consumption. The heightened energy use raises the risk of power disruptions, potentially causing costly downtime and outages for operators,” he said. “The Liebert GXE provides energy-efficient and affordable secure power protection, helping small and medium businesses sustain reliable operations in these distributed applications.”
