Intelligent power management company Eaton debuted its new Eaton Beam Rubin DSX platform that supports the end-to-end infrastructure for AI factories, engineered for new levels of speed, efficiency and resilience.
The Eaton grid-to-chip architecture, integrated with the NVIDIA Vera Rubin DSX AI Factory reference design and the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX blueprint designs, enables modular scalability for fast global AI factory build outs.
As data centre power demand is expected to nearly triple between 2025 and 2030, industry analysts project upwards of $7 trillion in data centre capital expenditures worldwide.
To meet this surge, Eaton is working with NVIDIA to compress AI factory buildout timelines from years to months, while enabling more compute from existing capacity.
The new Eaton Beam Rubin DSX platform provides an end-to-end standard implementation for customers to enable rapid, repeatable deployment of AI factories on the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform.
From grid infrastructure through power distribution and advanced cooling at the chip level, the pre-engineered offering scales from megawatts to hundreds of megawatts and provides a full AI data centre power ecosystem.
“The power and cooling of AI factories hinge upon energy flexibility, modular scalability and the design blueprint to dramatically expedite speed to power,” according to Angie McMillin, president of Energy Solutions and Services at Eaton.
“We’re making bold moves that will transform how we design equipment and manage power to accelerate AI factory build out and enable customers to achieve new levels of efficiency and reliability.”
NVIDIA vice president of AI infrastructure, Vladimir Troy, said AI factories are a new class of infrastructure that require a sophisticated co-design of power, cooling and compute to operate at massive scale.
“By integrating its grid-to-chip power solutions into the NVIDIA Vera Rubin DSX AI Factory reference design and Omniverse DSX blueprint, Eaton is helping enterprises accelerate the deployment of high-density data centres while maximizing energy efficiency,” he said.
In addition to its Beam Rubin DSX, Eaton’s collaboration with Siemens Energy is helping address a global power bottleneck for AI factories, providing new options to enable simultaneous construction of data centres and onsite power generation.
Eaton is also working across industries to enable and advocate for flexible load management that could increase available grid capacity for data centres by upwards of 100 gigawatts, equivalent to nine times the energy demand of New York City.
In NVIDIA Omniverse DSX, Eaton provides digital twins of its technologies for AI factories.
Eaton’s SimReady 3D assets in OpenUSD will enable real-time simulation of power and cooling systems alongside compute models.
Eaton customers can design, simulate and validate energy infrastructure prior to construction to accelerate time to revenue and support highly accurate, sustainable and reconfigurable AI factories.
