Vertiv and Compass Datacenters have partnered to co-develop Vertiv™ SmartRun, a prefabricated white space infrastructure solution designed to accelerate data hall readiness while maintaining flexibility, consistency and scalability for the next generation of compute.
Built through close collaboration between Vertiv and Compass engineers, the Vertiv™ SmartRun reflects a shared focus on simplifying deployment, reducing on site complexity and enabling faster paths to operation.
Integrated Infrastructure Built for Deployment
At its core, Vertiv™ SmartRun brings together power, cooling, containment and networking into a single integrated overhead system. Manufactured and tested off site, the solution arrives pre-assembled and ready for installation, minimizing coordination across trades and reducing construction variability.
This integrated approach supports a more efficient transition from rent commencement to operation, reducing white space fit out timelines by up to 85 percent and enabling faster revenue activation for customers.
Extending a Modular Manufacturing Led Approach
Vertiv™ SmartRun builds on Compass broader strategy of applying manufacturing principles to data center development. Through co-development with Vertiv, this approach extends Compass manufacturing model into white space infrastructure.
By moving critical integration work off site into controlled environments, Vertiv™ SmartRun reduces on site complexity while improving quality, safety and predictability.
Designed for Flexibility Without Compromise
As Eric Williams, Senior Vice President of Solutions Engineering at Compass Datacenters, notes:
“Whether it’s AI driven density or future ready configurations, Vertiv™ SmartRun helps us adapt without starting from scratch.”
Enabling Faster Scalable Infrastructure
By combining prefabrication, modular design and integrated systems, Vertiv™ SmartRun provides a consistent yet flexible foundation for evolving compute demands. Its plug and play architecture allows infrastructure to scale without requiring full redesigns, supporting both current deployments and future growth.
The result is a streamlined, repeatable approach to white space infrastructure that reduces time to deployment, improves predictability and aligns with the increasing demands of AI driven environments.
