Back-up power (UPS)

Eaton BladeUPS

The Eaton BladeUPS is a three-phase, scalable and modular UPS for high density computing environments, including virtualised or machine-learning IT applications. The BladeUPS delivers 12 kW of efficient, reliable power in only 6U of rack space, including batteries. You can expand its capacity by combining 12 kW modules in a scalable, building block fashion to deliver 60 kW (N+1) from a single rack enclosure. This powerful configuration delivers higher power density than competitive, modular solutions while dissipating only one third of the heat. By incorporating a BladeUPSs bus bar, you can easily self-install new paralleled units to keep up with your data centre needs. While you can design a BladeUPS from scratch, you can also quickly deploy the Eaton BladeUPS Pre-assembled System, which is a turnkey solution featuring easy customisation, shipping and installation. The BladeUPS can be easily monitored via the units’ brightly backlit LCD screen and through Eaton’s Intelligence Platform.

Plug-and-play parallel configuration

Expanding your BladeUPS without the help of Eaton is easy with the UPS’ intelligent system. It automatically detects connected modules and fully configures itself for parallel operations.

Support for dynamic data centres

The modular, scalable design allows the BladeUPS to accommodate growth from 12–60 kW with its flexible, building-block architecture.

Save space in the rack and the server room

With double the power density of other UPSs on the market, the BladeUPS offers the smallest footprint of any UPS in its class.

Reduce air conditioning needs by a third

The lower heat dissipation of a BladeUPS means it can be located near equipment racks without concern about hot spots, all while reducing overall cooling costs.
