Vertiv deploys AI infrastructure at Naval Postgraduate School

July 23, 2026 7:40 AM

Vertiv (NYSE: VRT) announced the deployment of integrated power, liquid cooling, rack infrastructure, and installation services to support the Naval Postgraduate School's (NPS) new Nvidia DGX GB300 system, according to a company press release dated July 23, 2026.

Nvidia provided the DGX GB300 system to NPS, while Vertiv supplied and deployed the supporting physical infrastructure. The project is intended to establish an AI environment at NPS for education, research, digital engineering, modeling, and simulation.

Vertiv designed and delivered a three-rack Vertiv SmartIT integrated AI infrastructure configuration to support the Nvidia system. The configuration includes power protection and distribution, AI infrastructure racks, liquid-cooling technologies, fluid management and monitoring, facility and system interfaces, installation sequencing, and testing and commissioning support.

"Advanced AI systems are redefining the physical requirements of the data center," said Gio Albertazzi, CEO of Vertiv. "The NPS deployment demonstrates what is required to turn rack-scale accelerated computing into operational AI capability."

Charlie Boyle, vice president of DGX systems at Nvidia, said: "Deploying an AI factory requires more than accelerated computing — it requires power, cooling and physical infrastructure engineered to work together."

The NPS Foundation and a broader ecosystem of partners were also involved in the project. Vertiv noted the deployment serves as an example of how an existing facility can be modified to support high-density AI systems without constructing a new purpose-built environment.

Vertiv is headquartered in Westerville, Ohio, and operates in more than 130 countries.
