Vertiv
ORGANISATIONWent through the product solutions with Anthony, Cameron, Greg and Robert. We put a 40 ft container on the table and they pushed back toward their 45 ft high line. Delivery times are being finalised, and their nearest slot is Q4 2027.
Open. Their first budgetary proposal for Philadelphia came in on 17 September at about $300M for 40 MW, generators excluded. Greg puts OneCore at roughly 13 to 14 weeks and says capacity depends on when a customer executes. Two price points still on the table, about $11m to $12m per MW on the smaller units and about $10m per MW at 50 MW.
OneCore design
- Shell and core (DSX) preferred over containers above 10 MW; GC builds shell, Vertiv scopes data centre internals to LOD 300
- 250 MW core blocks; 750 MW = 3 cores
- Max LPS design (co developed with NVIDIA) over Max P
- SmartRun white space units pre assembled at Pelzer SC (Pelzer 2, 160,000 sq ft [~14,900 m2]); flush and fill 3 to 5 days
- CDU at pod level; 800 VDC day 2 swap without rip and replace; future proofed for Vera Rubin and Rubin Ultra
Chip requirements cited
- NVIDIA 4 to make 3, ~143 kW/rack, 40 degC+ fluid
- TPU N+1, ~93 kW/rack
- Cerebras 6 to make 5, 20 degC fluid

"We definitely want to support."
"Myself Anthony and Greg would love to coordinate an on site meeting if possible, if you need anything please don’t hesitate to reach out."
"if it's your stuff that's being built, you can come in anytime."
"We could have a common meeting, say, in NVIDIA's headquarters."
"That's a you discussing with our CEO type deal"
"Is this facility / land owned by Microlink or what is the status of acquisition? Also would the facility be demo-ed to make way for the new AI factory?"
"if you foresee your site going, say, to 500 or 750, my recommendation would be to build out your site design, your site 250 at a time."
"Please send over the website link you had created, and we can use that instead if it covers most of the questions above."
