Data center white space

Data center white space performance isn't defined by a single system—it's defined by how well power, cooling, airflow, racks and connectivity work together as density increases. Eaton helps you design and scale white space with an integrated approach that improves efficiency, protects uptime, and supports growth—whether you’re retrofitting an existing hall or building for high‑density workloads.

Airflow containment: From rapid retrofit modular containment to structured standing HAC—control airflow to improve thermal performance and enable higher density.

Control airflow. Unlock capacity. Maximize power density. Enable your white space.

Airflow is the first and most critical layer of white space performance. Without control, cooling efficiency drops, power infrastructure is underutilized and density is constrained.

Eaton delivers multiple airflow containment strategies designed to meet you where you are—whether you’re retrofitting existing space or designing for high-density AI environments.

RapidPod: The fastest way to unlock capacity

Ideal for:

Existing environments
Mixed racks and layouts
Fast deployment without disruption

Key strengths:

Pre-configured
Deploys quickly in live environments
Works across mixed vendor racks
Scales incrementally as needs grow
Ideal for retrofits and phased upgrades

Unlock stranded capacity—without rebuilding your data center.

Standing Hot Aisle Containment (HAC): Built for high-density performance

Ideal for:

New builds or major expansions
High-density environments (AI / HPC)
Standardized row-based deployments

Key strengths:

Fully enclosed containment for maximum thermal performance
Supports predictable, repeatable design
Optimized for high rack density and consistent layouts
Strong integration with cooling strategies

800V HVDC power architecture

As rack power demands rise, next-generation power delivery can reduce conversion steps simply deployment to support higher-density compute. Eaton is helping data centers evolve from today’s AC environments toward DC-ready designs—including 800 VDC architectures for AI factories.

A practical path to DC-ready white space

Not every site needs direct-current architectures today. But as rack power requirements increase, many teams benefit from early planning for DC readiness. Eaton supports a staged approach:

1. Optimize today's AC environment

Improve utilization and efficiency with upgrades that work within existing infrastructure.

2. Design for hybrid flexibility

Adopt rack-scale solutions and reference designs that support higher density and simplify future transitions.

3. Plan for 800 VDC at AI scale

For next-generation AI deployments, 800 VDC architectures are emerging as a path to meet extreme rack power requirements with fewer conversion steps and streamlined distribution.

Lifeproofing your white space data center is crucial for long-term reliability, allowing the infrastructure to adapt to future demands without compromising performance. Prioritizing robust safety precautions not only extends the lifespan of equipment but also ensures the safety of those maintaining it, while simultaneously reducing risks and ensuring operational resilience. To guarantee safety and longevity, servicing the white space must be prioritized. Proper servicing enables necessary repairs and replacements to be addressed without shutting down your entire system.
