Eaton announced the launch of its Beam Rubin DSX platform during NVIDIA’s GTC 2026 conference, which took place from March 16 to March 19, 2026. The new platform is a comprehensive power‑management solution designed for AI data centers and is built in collaboration with NVIDIA, integrating Eaton’s grid‑to‑chip architecture with NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin DSX AI Factory reference design and Omniverse DSX blueprint designs.
The Beam Rubin DSX platform introduces an 800 VDC power infrastructure and delivers power densities exceeding 130 kW per rack. Its modular scalability allows rapid deployment of AI factories, compressing build‑out timelines from years to months while improving energy efficiency. The platform’s design focuses on energy flexibility, modular scalability, and a blueprint that dramatically expedites speed to power.
Eaton’s launch positions the company to capture a larger share of the $7 trillion data‑center buildout market, reinforcing its strategy to become the indispensable infrastructure provider for AI workloads. The partnership underscores Eaton’s commitment to expanding its technical moat and delivering integrated solutions that command premium pricing in the high‑growth AI sector.
Eaton’s financial health supports this strategic pivot. The company reported $27.4 billion in revenue for 2025, an operating margin of 18.98 % and a net margin of 14.89 % as of March 2026. Recent acquisitions of Boyd Thermal and Fibrebond, along with the spin‑off of its Mobility Group, further strengthen Eaton’s focus on core electrical and aerospace businesses while expanding its data‑center capabilities.
"The power and cooling of AI factories hinge upon energy flexibility, modular scalability and the design blueprint to dramatically expedite speed to power,” said 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.”
"AI factories are a new class of infrastructure that require a sophisticated co‑design of power, cooling and compute to operate at massive scale,” said Vladimir Troy, vice president of AI infrastructure at NVIDIA. “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 centers while maximizing energy efficiency.”
"In the age of AI, intelligence tokens are the new currency, and AI factories are the infrastructure that generates them,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “With the NVIDIA Vera Rubin DSX AI Factory reference design and Omniverse DSX Blueprint, we are providing the foundation to build the world’s most productive AI factories, accelerating time to first revenue and maximizing scale and energy efficiency.”
"The introduction of 800 VDC architectures is a transformative advancement for data center innovation that will enable new possibilities in AI computing,” said JP Buzzell, vice president and data center chief architect at Eaton. “We’re proud to deepen our collaboration with NVIDIA with the introduction of this new reference design, a major step in our grid‑to‑chip strategy, as we help accelerate the transition to the AI factory of the future.”
"With our decades of expertise in electrical power management innovation and broad solution portfolio, Eaton is uniquely positioned to support the demands of data centers in the AI era,” said Heath Monesmith, president and chief operating officer of Eaton’s Electrical Sector. “Joining NVIDIA and other industry leaders enables us to further advance our strategy of providing systems that meet the demanding power, cooling and operational requirements of data centers and AI factories.”
