The expert noted that higher rack density is driving this change to 800V DC Analyst

architecture now, although the technology has existed for a long time. As amit.mehrotra@ubs.com

associated power electronics matures, the adoption will gather momentum. +1-201-352 1410

High voltage is still in early stages of adoption and still not mature, this is Shneur Z. Gershuni, CFA

expected to change and higher voltages will become standard. Our expert is Analyst

confident the architecture of data centers will change to higher voltage with time

+1-212-713 3974

as more components become available at competitive cost.

William Appicelli, CFA

Over time, this trend is expected to evolve towards even higher voltage (above 800 Analyst

V) configurations as racks / chips continue get more power hungry. william.appicelli@ubs.com

The expert emphasized that the 800V DC architecture would lead to higher

would bring significant changes to the semiconductor supply base and protection

/ insulation ecosystem. Our expert indicated that he expects most green field data +1-212-882 0089

centers to move to 800 V vs. traditional lower voltage data centers.
