Vertiv has announced a distribution agreement with PNY Technologies, a provider of NVIDIA-based solutions in Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Vertiv and PNY will work together to provide comprehensive power and cooling infrastructure solutions based on Vertiv’s validated reference designs for the latest AI platforms, supporting system integrators and resellers in accelerating AI adoption across the EMEA region.
The rapid adoption of AI is driving unprecedented demand for compute power, which requires high-density critical digital infrastructure to support it. This partnership simplifies the complex process of deploying AI infrastructure by providing system integrators with a validated and streamlined path.
By teaming up, Vertiv and PNY make it easier for customers to acquire and deploy complete, validated solutions for their AI projects, reducing deployment risks and improving operational efficiency.
Under this agreement, channel partners can now source complete solutions from PNY that include Vertiv’s high-density power and cooling solutions designed to support the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 platform, for which Vertiv has developed a comprehensive power and cooling blueprint, and the GB300 NVL72 platform, for which Vertiv has created an energy-efficient cooling and power reference architecture – available as SimReady Assets to use with the NVIDIA Omniverse Digital Twin for AI Factory Blueprint.
This approach provides a clear blueprint for deploying the necessary infrastructure for today’s GPU-intensive workloads, designed to provide optimal performance and reliability from day one.
“The transformative growth of AI workloads demands an ecosystem approach to help customers scale efficiently while maintaining optimal performance,” says Alex Brew, vice-president of EMEA regional sales at Vertiv. “By combining our critical power and cooling portfolio with PNY’s expertise in NVIDIA-based solutions, we are empowering System Integrators across EMEA to build accelerated, high-density, and energy efficient AI environments for their customers.”
Jérôme Bélan, CEO at PNY EMEA, adds: “The complexity of today’s AI computing landscape requires seamless collaboration. Working with Vertiv allows us to create an optimised environment for the latest NVIDIA platform implementations across EMEA. Our collaboration strengthens the channel by bringing together Vertiv’s critical digital infrastructure expertise with our advanced AI computing capabilities, enabling customers to deploy high-performance computing environments with greater speed and confidence.”
