Vertiv™ PowerUPS 9000 UPS system provides highly energy-efficient, scalable and reliable power protection for space-constrained environments.
Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, has introduced the Vertiv™ PowerUPS 9000. This is an energy-efficient, high-power density uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system with a compact footprint. The system is engineered to support IT applications from traditional computing to high density applications. It is available globally in UL and CE models, from 250 to 1250kW per unit.

The Vertiv PowerUPS 9000 is designed for high-power density, as well as a high double-conversion efficiency of up to 97.5%. The system enables fast and easy installation, with top or bottom cable entry. It also offers backfeed protection and ground fault kit options that are embedded in the system without need for extra space or on-site installation. The units are deployable anywhere in the world, reducing potential procurement and service inconsistencies, delivery delays and downtime.
Engineered to maximise reliability and efficiency
“The Vertiv PowerUPS 9000 UPS is engineered to maximise reliability and efficiency and to minimise footprint and complexity,” said Giovanni Zanei, vice president, large power at Vertiv. “With its modular structure and high-power density, it will deliver energy-efficient, reliable power protection. All of these are what data centre customers are looking for to protect both traditional and mixed AI applications.”

The Vertiv PowerUPS 9000 is Vertiv’s most efficient UPS in its product class, with a physical footprint 32% smaller than previous generations. It is compatible with Vertiv™ EnergyCore lithium battery cabinet. Equally, it is compatible with other battery technologies, including Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) and Nickel-Zinc.
Dedicated, segregated controls and dual, hot-swappable communication and control boards allow each power module to operate independently. In the event of a fault, the affected module can isolate itself, thereby protecting the other modules and enabling continued operation. The continuous-duty solid state static bypass switch optimises the bypass line. And this system is fully hot-service and hot-swappable, meaning maintenance and upgrades can occur without downtime.
Preventative maintenance strategy
The Vertiv™ PowerUPS 9000 can be enabled with Vertiv™ Next Predict. This is a preventative maintenance strategy with advanced monitoring, data-driven health analytics and insights that optimises site operations. By leveraging AI and machine learning algorithms to monitor actual equipment conditions and measure equipment health, Vertiv offers a comprehensive solution for optimal equipment performance and longevity.
In Vertiv’s test labs, Vertiv engineers subjected Vertiv PowerUPS 9000 to extensive Engineering Validation Tests (EVT). It was equally subjected to Design Validation Tests (DVT) against a wide spectrum of operational conditions to confirm its performance and reliability in real-world scenarios.
The Vertiv PowerUPS 9000 also passed additional environmental, performance and corner case tests. These include debris protection, structural tests of seismic integrity and durability, and voltage surge and sag tests – that simulated extreme conditions the system may encounter.
