Vertiv Set to Acquire Geist, Expand Global Rack PDU Portfolio
The acquisition is expected to strengthen offerings for cloud, colocation, and edge providers as well as strengthen channel
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Vertiv, formerly Emerson Network Power, has reached an agreement to purchase Lincoln, Nebraska-based Geist, a privately owned manufacturer of Rack Power Distribution Units (PDUs) and associated data center products.
Geist manufactures Rack PDU products and has a broad portfolio of data center power, cooling, monitoring, and infrastructure management products that complement Vertiv’s own line of intelligent Rack PDUs. The acquisition will add engineering and design capabilities with patented Geist technologies, expand access to the channel, and solidify Vertiv as a global leader in the data center Rack PDU space.
