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

If you're going to have power conversion, how do you have that power conversion in a way where you turn that weakness of active power conversion into a strength?

And the way to do it is make it fail operational by design.

So you turn a, you know, passive five megawatt transformer failure that needs a crane to replace it, which is why you have this ABC for to make three architecture in the first place, because those objects when they fail are a pain to fix.

You replace that with a it'll keep working.

You can schedule a 10 minute downtime shelf in and out type replacement whenever you want.

That's how we're countering some of these concerns about reliability is architecturally designing it for higher uptime.

And then we're also offering a long-term service agreement with a guaranteed availability to data center operators.

Yeah.

We can fit up to three of them on a flatbed.

Um,

Yeah, because just if you look at the footprint density, you know, it's smaller than a typical e-house by a lot.

You know, everything I described, you know, can fit on in the footprint of 16 foot.

The, they, you can get it either way.

You can get it with what we call this super BBU or super battery backup unit, um, which is, uh, you know, only like a couple hundred kilowatt hours, but a really high C rate, um, battery that, that absorbs all of the GPU ripple and acts as a UPS.

Um, so without the, without the UPS functionality, you can fit three on a flatbed with the UPS functionality you can fit two.

I mean, I think one big concern, and I don't want to diminish it, is like, hey, is 800 volts DC safe, right?

And I think that's something that, you know, people are, of course, right to ask, and they should ask.

And I think the answer is,

DC systems absolutely can be if they're engineered, designed, and third-party verified to be safe.
