Built for the AI Factory DG Matrix Joins the NVIDIA MGX Ecosystem to Power the Next Era of Accelerated Computing DG Matrix is proud to join the NVIDIA MGX™ ecosystem as a solid-state transformer supplier for NVIDIA's 800 VDC power architecture. This milestone reflects more than two years of direct technical collaboration with NVIDIA, from the earliest prototypes of 800 VDC power architecture through the commercial launch of the Interport SST platform revealed at NVIDIA GTC 2026 in March. The partnership sits at the center of one of the most consequential transitions in data center history. As accelerated computing rack power densities advance, the industry's entire electrical backbone is being architected for 800 VDC distribution. NVIDIA MGX is the modular rack-scale reference architecture for AI factories, and the Interport SST is the power platform purpose-built to meet it. Recently this architecture was further detailed in SemiAnalysis’s latest deep dive study called " Inside the 800VDC Revolution – Part 1 " on May 25, a landmark technical report that maps the industry's four-phase shift to 800-volt DC architecture and sizes the solid-state transformer market at $13 billion by 2030. Why 800 Volts, Why Now 800 VDC is the power architecture and upgrade path that helps AI factories scale compute performance beyond the limits of traditional power distribution. SemiAnalysis makes the constraint concrete: a one-megawatt rack running on today's 48-volt architecture requires roughly 200 kilograms of copper busbars. At one-gigawatt campus scale, that is hundreds of tons of copper. "Copper becomes unmanageable at 48 to 54 volts," the report states. At 800 volts, the same 600-kilowatt load draws 750 amperes rather than 12,500. Resistive losses fall by a factor of 278. Future rack power density targets may not be reachable with legacy low-voltage distribution. SemiAnalysis projects that by 2030, approximately 39 gigawatts of incremental AI data center capacity will run on 800-volt architecture, with the transition saving more than 50 megawatts of continuous grid power per gigawatt of IT load. "Each shift happened anyway, because physics and the economics of compute do not negotiate. 800 VDC is next, and the logic is the same." — SemiAnalysis, Inside the 800 VDC Revolution, May 2026 The Interport SST: Purpose-Built for NVIDIA MGX The Interport SST was designed from the ground up for the demands of modular AI factory architecture. It natively supports 800 VDC today, with reprogrammable ports capable of reaching 1,500 volts to future-proof deployments against the next generation of accelerated computing platforms. A single-stage multi-port architecture delivers up to 98.5 percent conversion efficiency, integrated liquid cooling, and rack-proximate battery storage for dynamic GPU pulse-load response. That last capability matters in ways the efficiency numbers alone do not capture. DG Matrix collaborated with NVIDIA testing energy storage solutions for dynamic GPU load response, working through one of the hardest requirements in high-density AI compute: absorbing and supplying burst power at the speed of inference workloads. The Interport's multiport topology aggregates multiple AC and DC input sources simultaneously while delivering AC and DC outputs, giving operators a single converged platform for the full energy stack. DG Matrix's roots run deep on this problem. SemiAnalysis traces the company's origin to NC State including its FREEDM Systems Center, where the CTO of DG Matrix has been researching solid-state transformers and silicon-carbide transistors since 2008. That lineage, combined with backing from Clean Energy Ventures including ABB and a SiC supply partnership with Infineon, gives the Interport platform a technical foundation built over more than a decade of development. "The Interport SST brings modular, rack-proximate power that delivers the efficiency and dynamic response AI factories require, now for the NVIDIA MGX architecture," said Haroon Inam, CEO and co-founder of DG Matrix. "Collaborating with NVIDIA and MGX integrators helps customers adopt 800 VDC architectures with lower loss and higher power density. Our multi-port capability enables integrated behind-the-meter power aggregation from multiple AC and DC sources along with simultaneous AC and DC outputs, offering a future-proofed platform today." An Industry at Its Turning Point SemiAnalysis documents four phases of the 800-volt transition. The industry is currently entering Phase 1, retrofitting existing AC distribution with HVDC power racks. Phase 2, arriving in 2027 and 2028, brings 800-volt-native compute platforms like the NVIDIA Kyber rack online. Phase 3 takes 800-volt distribution facility-wide. Phase 4, the end state, replaces conventional step-down transformers and rectifiers with SSTs entirely. The efficiency gains compound at each stage. A conventional AC power path achieves 82 percent cumulative system efficiency across seven conversion stages. A Phase 4 SST facility reaches 87.4 percent. At 1 gigawatt of IT load, that gap recovers 69 megawatts of continuous grid power. More than $320 million flowed into SST startups in the twelve months ending March 2026 as hyperscalers moved from pilots to commercial contracts, ahead of the regulatory milestones, because the engineering case is settled. Building Together As a member of the NVIDIA MGX ecosystem, DG Matrix is collaborating with NVIDIA and MGX integrators to validate rack power interfaces and develop 800 VDC reference designs for hyperscale, neocloud, and edge deployments across AI training and inference workloads. Pre-certification units are shipping now, with UL certification targeted for the end of Q2 2026. The AI factory era runs on power. NVIDIA MGX defines the architecture. The Interport SST delivers the watts.

Entrepreneur and investor who built digital infrastructure platforms across every major change in the data center industry, from colocation to hyperscale, modular design and liquid cooling, will help DG Matrix build the power fabric for the AI data center. MORRISVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE) -- DG Matrix, the global leader in solid-state transformer solutions, today announced the appointment of Anthony Wanger, a digital infrastructure entrepreneur, executive and investor, as its first Executive Chairman. Wanger will work alongside CEO Haroon Inam and the company’s board, engineering, solutions and commercial teams as DG Matrix builds the power fabric for the Intelligence Age, the software- and AI-driven control layer that manages every watt flowing from the utility service through on-site generation, storage and power conversion and protection into the GPU. Wanger’s career is distinguished by the early identification of structural shifts in technology infrastructure and the building of platforms to capitalize on them. For more than two decades, he has developed global digital infrastructure businesses, generating billions of dollars in value for institutional investors. He is the Founder and CEO of Regnaw Capital, LLC, a family office investing in digital infrastructure and growth-stage technology markets. He has established a consistent record of market leadership at each major inflection point in digital infrastructure. In 1999, well in advance of enterprise colocation emerging as a mainstream asset class, he developed a vacant Phoenix industrial property into a carrier-grade colocation and telecommunications platform that was acquired by Digital Realty Trust for $180 million in 2006. In 2007, he co-founded IO Data Centers, where, as founder and president, he directed the company’s expansion across North America, Europe and Asia, pioneering high-efficiency, high-density data center design that anticipated the power density and thermal management requirements now defining modern AI infrastructure. Wanger identified the shift toward modular infrastructure early, co-founding BASELAYER as one of the first companies to commercialize prefabricated, modular data center technology, which was acquired by IE Corp. in 2021. From 2021 to 2024, he served as an Industry Advisor and Co-Investor with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”), contributing to several significant digital infrastructure transactions, including the multi-billion-dollar take-private of CyrusOne. Having identified liquid cooling as an emerging constraint at the intersection of AI scaling and data center power density, he was instrumental in KKR’s 2023 acquisition of CoolIT Systems, where, as Executive Board Member and Special Advisor, he helped reposition and scale the business into the hyperscale market. That process culminated in CoolIT’s pending acquisition by Ecolab, Inc. “Anthony has been years ahead of the market at every turn, from carrier-grade colocation to hyperscale, modular data centers and liquid cooling, and he has the rare ability to see where digital infrastructure is going and build the platforms that get it there,” said Haroon Inam, CEO of DG Matrix. “He understands, better than almost anyone, why 800 VDC and intelligent power conversion now sit at the center of every AI buildout, and why speed to power is speed to inference. Having Anthony as our Executive Chairman will sharpen how we build, deliver and service our solid-state transformer solutions, and accelerate our path to becoming the power fabric of the Intelligence industry.” Wanger joins as the data center industry confronts a fundamental transition in how power is delivered to compute. NVIDIA’s product roadmap and rising chip energy density are driving the transition to 800 VDC architectures, which are required to support next-generation systems such as Vera Rubin. DG Matrix’s AI-enabled Interport™ platform is built for this transition: collapsing multi-stage power conversion into a single, software-defined stage, absorbing GPU pulse loads, and actively controlling every watt flowing between the grid, on-site generation, storage, UPS and compute loads. DG Matrix operates the largest solid-state transformer engineering team of any company in the world, giving the platform a multi-year lead on SST hardware, firmware and AI-driven control software. “Innovation always comes from outside the industry, and what DG Matrix has built is a change of kind, not degree. It changes how power is routed to microprocessors,” said Anthony Wanger. “I was searching for the next great opportunity defined by scale and shortage, and DG Matrix is where power direction and routing are going.” The Executive Chairman appointment was assisted by Salamone Partners, a sector-specialist executive consulting firm focused on the leadership shaping the energy transition and next-generation infrastructure. The firm partners with venture-backed innovators, infrastructure investors and public companies to recruit executives and board leaders for companies at critical stages of growth and commercialization.

Three-decade mission-critical infrastructure leader, co-founder of EYP Mission Critical Facilities, and 2024 Data Center World Lifetime Achievement Award recipient will help DG Matrix build the intelligent power fabric for the AI data center, enabling the 800-VDC transition. RALEIGH-DURHAM, N.C., June 16, 2026. DG Matrix, the global leader in solid-state transformer solutions, today announced the appointment of Peter Gross, one of the foremost authorities on mission-critical and data center infrastructure, to its Executive Advisory Board. Gross will advise DG Matrix’s engineering, solutions, and commercial teams as the company builds the AI datadcenter intelligent power fabric: the AI-driven control layer that manages every watt flowing from a combination of utility + on-site generation and storage sources to IT loads. Gross has spent more than three decades at the forefront of mission-critical information, communication, and infrastructure design. He is currently Managing Partner of PMG Associates, a consulting and advisory firm, and until 2019 led the Mission Critical Systems group at Bloom Energy, a leading manufacturer of solid oxide fuel cells. Earlier, he co-founded and served as CEO of EYP Mission Critical Facilities, a premier data center design and engineering firm acquired by Hewlett-Packard in 2008, where he went on to lead HP’s Consulting Services focused on carbon, power, and critical facilities. A recognized thought leader in high-reliability design, power quality, energy systems and sustainability, Gross is a co-inventor on patents covering modular, prefabricated FlexDC systems, direct current power distribution topologies for data centers, and fuel-cell-based data center architectures. A Senior Member of the IEEE and a Registered Professional Engineer, he contributed to IEEE Standard 3006.7-2013 for determining the reliability of 24/7 power systems. His honors include the 2024 Data Center World Lifetime Achievement Award, the 2010 Data Center Dynamics “Outstanding Contribution to the Industry” Award, and induction into the Infrastructure Masons Hall of Fame. “Peter has shaped how the world’s most demanding data centers are designed, powered, and operated for the better part of three decades,” said Haroon Inam, CEO of DG Matrix. “He understands, better than anyone, why AI has fundamentally changed the data center and why on-site generation, grid support, and intelligent power conversion now sit at the center of every buildout. Having him on our Executive Advisory Board will sharpen how we build, deliver, and service our solid-state transformer solutions and will accelerate our path to becoming the intelligent power fabric of the industry.” Gross’s recent work has centered on the shift from AI training to inference and what it demands of digital infrastructure. Inference workloads require far higher availability, sit closer to urban load centers, and run in smaller, often co-located facilities where power can swing from full load to near zero in milliseconds. DG Matrix’s AI-enabled Interport™ platform is built to manage exactly these conditions: collapsing multi-stage power conversion into a single, software-defined stage, absorbing GPU pulse loads, and integrating on-site generation, storage and batteries into the load. Its multi-port converter can also inject reactive power back into the grid when load swings threaten to collapse grid voltage, giving operators a tool for demand response and frequency support. DG Matrix operates the largest solid-state transformer engineering team of any company in the world, giving the platform a multi-year lead on SST hardware, firmware and AI-driven control software. “For most of my career, data center power improved incrementally and nothing fundamental changed. AI changed that,” said Peter Gross. “Density has gone from a few kilowatts to as much as 500 kilowatts per cabinet, power fluctuations are severe, and on-site generation has become vital to how these facilities get built. DG Matrix has the ability to streamline the entire electrical topology, reduce footprint and cost, and protect both the load and the grid. I am convinced this technology will have a very significant impact on the industry, and that is why I am joining.” Gross serves as Chairman of Cato and sits on the boards of Aligned Data Centers, Edgevana, Apolo Cloud, Overwatch, and IDCA. He chairs the advisory councils of Vertiv and Bloom Energy and advises EnerSys, Lancium, Crusoe, VIER and Rehlko. He is an External Advisor to Bain & Company, a Master of Infrastructure Masons, and serves on the advisory boards of the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability and the Data Center Systems Engineering Board of Advisors at Southern Methodist University’s Lyle School of Engineering.

Four-decade data center pioneer, inventor on more than 160 patents, and member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering will help DG Matrix build the intelligent power fabric for the AI data center. RALEIGH-DURHAM, N.C. -- DG Matrix, the global leader in solid-state transformer solutions, today announced the appointment of Christian Belady, one of the most influential figures in the modern data center industry, to its newly formed Executive Advisory Board. Belady will also serve as a personal advisor to DG Matrix CEO Haroon Inam and work directly with the company’s engineering, solutions and commercial teams as DG Matrix builds the intelligent power fabric for the AI data center — the software- and AI-driven control layer that manages every watt flowing from the utility service through on-site generation, storage and power conversion & protection into the GPU. Belady has spent more than four decades in the data center industry and is an inventor on more than 160 patents. He spent 16 years at Microsoft, where he served as a Distinguished Engineer. In 2023, he retired from Microsoft after 16 years as Vice President and Distinguished Engineer of Data Center Research and Development in the company’s Cloud Infrastructure Organization where he pioneered innovations in data center cooling and on-site power generation. For a decade prior, he led worldwide data center development across site selection, energy, engineering, construction and operations. Belady originated the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) metric while at Hewlett Packard — a metric that has defined how the industry measures data center efficiency for two decades. He later co-authored Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) and Carbon Usage Effectiveness (CUE) with The Green Grid, and has shaped standards work at ASHRAE and other industry bodies. His contributions have materially improved global data center energy efficiency over the past 20 years. “Christian wrote the rulebook for how modern data centers are designed, sited and measured,” said Haroon Inam, CEO of DG Matrix. “He has been warning the industry for years that power is the binding constraint on cloud and AI growth, and that data centers need a power intelligence layer to match AI compute. Having him on our Executive Advisory Board and at my side as a personal advisor will sharpen how we build, deliver and service our solid-state transformer (SST) solutions — and accelerate our path to becoming the intelligent power fabric of the industry.” Belady’s recent work has centered on the intersection of AI infrastructure, grid interconnection and the power fabric inside the data center — how power is converted, routed, controlled and delivered from the utility service to the GPU. DG Matrix’s AI-enabled Interport™ platform is built to become that fabric: collapsing multi-stage power conversion into a single, software-defined stage, absorbing GPU pulse loads, and actively controlling every watt flowing between the grid, on-site generation, storage, UPS and compute loads. DG Matrix also operates the largest solid-state transformer engineering team of any company in the world, giving the platform a multi-year lead on SST hardware, firmware and AI-driven control software. “AI has rewritten the power requirements of a data center,” said Christian Belady. “Speed to inference is now speed to power. DG Matrix has built the first commercially available multi-port solid-state transformer by collapsing the data center electrical system of discrete devices into a single device just as semiconductor integrated circuits did with transistors, capacitors and resistors in the 1960s enabling hardware into a software- and AI-driven control layer for the data center power. That is the kind of architectural shift the industry needs, and it is why I am joining. I want to help this team transform data center design and delivery to energize in months rather than years… if not sooner!” Since leaving Microsoft, Belady has served as an advisor and board member to several of the most prominent firms in digital infrastructure.
