Vertiv launches high-density Lithium-Iron-Phosphate battery cabinets for HPC data centers in India
Digital Edge Bureau 19 Nov, 2024 0 comment(s)Vertiv EnergyCore battery cabinets have been designed for new-age data centers running HPC and AI workloads
Responding to the space constraint issue inherent with high-density data centers, Vertiv, a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, introduced Vertiv EnergyCore battery cabinets.
Factory assembled with LFP (Lithium-Iron-Phosphate) battery modules and Vertiv’s internally-powered battery management system, Vertiv EnergyCore cabinets are available globally and are qualified for use with most current and legacy three-phase Vertiv uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, including the recently launched Vertiv Trinergy and Vertiv Liebert APM2.
Vertiv EnergyCore cabinets are optimized for five minutes end-of-life runtime at 263kWb per each compact, 24” wide (600mm) cabinet, and operate across a wide temperature range, making them suitable for high-density environments. Lithium batteries are more compact and lighter than VRLA alternatives, allowing users to deploy fewer battery cabinets in most applications.
Milind Paranjape, Vice President, Energy Storage, Vertiv, says, “The proliferation of artificial intelligence and other high-performance computing applications is putting a premium on the ability to deliver more power in smaller, hotter spaces.” “With our Vertiv EnergyCore battery cabinets, we’re delivering exactly what our customers and our industry need – compact, high-density energy storage capable of operating safely and optimally,” adds Paranjape.

AS Prasad, Vice President, Product Management, Vertiv India, comments, “The data center industry in India is experiencing rapid growth, pushing the limits of high-density computing and driving an unprecedented demand for energy efficient, scalable solutions. Vertiv EnergyCore battery cabinets are designed to meet this need with a compact, space-saving design that simplifies deployment and maintenance.”
“This innovation not only aligns with the evolving landscape of high-performance computing but also sets a new standard for energy efficiency in high-demand environments. At Vertiv, we’re committed to delivering cutting-edge IT infrastructure that adapts to our clients’ changing requirements and supports their continued growth,” elaborates Prasad.

The modular design of Vertiv Trinergy allows each UPS core to be paired with dedicated Vertiv EnergyCore battery cabinets in a distributed architecture, enabling uninterrupted service for critical applications. Due to the density of the Vertiv EnergyCore design, only two lithium-ion battery cabinets are needed to support each 500kW Trinergy UPS core, versus the three cabinets that are required by most suppliers.
