Removing a fundamental bottleneck to AI data centre growth

  • Saturday, 2nd May 2026 Posted 1 week ago in by Phil Alsop
Sean Burke, CEO at Enteligent, positions 800V DC to 50V DC as the ‘missing piece’ in AI data centre power design. While 800VDC distribution solves the upstream limitations of traditional AC infrastructure, converting it directly to a 50VDC server bus within the rack addresses the final conversion bottleneck at the server level. Sean explains that the combination of 800VDC facility distribution with rack-level 800VDC-to-50VDC conversion represents a complete, DC-native power architecture that aligns with the realities of modern data centre requirements.
