Modern hardware updates put growing demands on underlying data center systems. According to NVIDIA, "Every new generation of accelerated computing demands more from the infrastructure underneath it" to support workloads. This shift requires "more compute performance, higher rack density and more efficient, scalable power distribution."
Power delivery architecture is becoming a central focus for scaling hardware deployment. NVIDIA notes that "The bottleneck isn’t just wattage." Instead, operators face challenges with "how power gets from the grid to the GPU." Under current standard practices, "In traditional power delivery, electricity travels from the grid as an alternating current (AC)" before reaching compute components.
