Data Center Revolution · Rewiring the Data Center: Drew Baglino on Power, Scale, and the AI Boom · 4 Aug 2026 podcast

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, we're not alone in this, right?

So yeah, we're working with the hyperscalers.

We're working with NVIDIA closely on defining this architecture.

And we're actively pursuing near-term pilots with lead customers where we can demonstrate this end-to-end solution working well.

And we're also independently working with independent engineering firms to validate our reliability testing that we're doing in-house to validate the reliability architecture.

I think I should pause on that for a bit.

You know, in the same way that there's distributed redundancy in the AC data center, you know, we kind of have that inside of our product.

It's a modular product.

There's 30 power conversion cells per five megawatt product.

And inside that, you know, any given one, actually up to six of them can fail and it'll still act as a power converter.

You'll have a little bit of power.

Up to five makes it.

Up to six cells will fail out of 30 and you can still produce the full voltage.

You'll have some power degradation.

Like if you have a cell failure, you'll lose 3% of the five megawatts, but it'll still work.

And so the way I like to think of this is,

You know, one of the arguments against solid state transformers is, well, it's an active device, doesn't it have all kinds of new failure modes?

And in the scheme of a data center where you're going to have active power conversion, I mean, now we have it many times on both sides of the UPS.

We have it in the rack a bunch of times.
