Ai90 Rack-Integrated UPS Platform

Rack-integrated UPS architecture for distributed power deployment

Rack-integrated UPS systems represent a shift from centralized electrical infrastructure to distributed, rack-level power architecture aligned with modern compute deployments — installing power protection alongside IT equipment rather than in a separate electrical room.

System Definition

Three-phase power protection inside the rack

The Ai90 platform is a rack-integrated modular UPS architecture that delivers three-phase power protection directly within the equipment rack, typically supporting 50–70 kW depending on configuration. Systems are designed for common data center voltages — 400/230V and 480/277V — aligning with modern infrastructure deployment standards.

This approach aligns power infrastructure with modern compute deployment models, letting UPS systems be installed alongside IT equipment rather than in centralized electrical rooms.

Architecture Concept

Power, battery, bypass & distribution — unified in the rack

Ai90 integrates power conversion, battery systems, maintenance bypass, and distribution within a single rack-mounted system. This contrasts with traditional deployments where power protection is a separate, floor-standing system connected through facility-level distribution. Consolidating these elements into the rack reduces infrastructure dependency and simplifies system design.

Why Rack-Level

Why rack-level UPS architecture

Infrastructure design is increasingly driven by:

  • Higher compute density
  • Distributed deployment models
  • Prefabricated and modular data center construction
  • Reduced installation timelines

Rack-integrated UPS architecture lets power protection scale with compute infrastructure rather than being constrained by centralized electrical design.

System Integration Model

Delivered in sections, assembled in the rack

Ai90 is designed for installation within standard equipment racks and integrates into typical rack deployment workflows. The system is delivered in multiple rack-mount sections and assembled in the rack using internal busbar connections.

  • Standardized installation practices
  • Simplified transportation and handling
  • Reduced on-site integration complexity
  • Alignment with prefabricated rack solutions
Deployment Example

Localized protection in the compute rack

In a high-density deployment, Ai90 can be installed directly in the same rack as compute and network equipment, providing localized three-phase power protection without reliance on centralized UPS infrastructure. Power is delivered to the rack, and Ai90 supports downstream loads through integrated distribution — reducing extended branch circuits and external UPS cabinets.

  • Rack-level power protection aligned with compute density
  • Reduced installation complexity and cabling
  • Faster deployment through pre-integrated rack solutions
  • Simplified expansion as additional racks are deployed

Runtime Philosophy

Ride-through, with runtime you can extend

Generator-aligned design

Ai90 is built around short-duration internal runtime with the ability to extend via external battery cabinets — aligned with generator-backed strategies where the UPS provides ride-through during power transitions rather than extended standalone operation.

One architecture among several

Ai90 is one implementation of rack-integrated UPS architecture for distributed environments. Other architectures serve different roles — selecting the right one depends on deployment model, scalability needs, and facility design constraints.
