History
Validus was founded in 2002 when Data Support Associates, Inc. (DSA), a company co-founded by Validus DC Systems’ founder and CEO, Rudy Kraus, provided $4 million of seed capital to start the company and begin development of Validus’ end-to-end DC-power solution for data centers.
The Validus DC solution was developed in partnership with Dr. Marcel Gaudreau, former head of Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center. The final offering is the result of 5 years of development and more than 100,000 team hours. AC means alternating current. DC means direct current.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“When the coherence of the parts of a stone, or even that composition of parts which renders it extended; when these familiar objects, I say, are so inexplicable, and contain circumstances so repugnant and contradictory; with what assurance can we decide concerning the origin of worlds, or trace their history from eternity to eternity?”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“The History of the world is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony—periods when the antithesis is in abeyance.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
