Are we prepared for the 1 megawatt (MW) IT rack? By Google’s reckoning, this is the future soon. The tech giant has introduced +/-400 VDC power delivery that can support up to 1 MW per rack at the recently concluded 2025 Open Compute Project (OCP) EMEA Summit.
At the recent Open Compute Project Foundation (OCP) Summit in Dublin, one of the major announcements was Google’s unveiling of the 1 megawatt (MW) IT Rack. As AI continues to disrupt the IT landscape, it is also pushing the boundaries of the physical infrastructure in the data center.
The Open Compute Project Foundation (OCP) is spearheading a radical redesign of data center power architecture to support AI's explosive growth, including the concept of "1 Megawatt racks" that could reduce energy losses from 40% to just 7%.
Cooling systems aren’t the only thing that needs to change to enable 1 MW racks. Power supply systems are another critical component. Flex is currently working on 400 volt (V) direct current (DC) systems, and Butler said it’s already eyeing 800V DC and even 1500V DC for the future.
