Rack-based modular systems bring together IT racks, cooling units, service enclosures, and monitoring tools into a single, cohesive package.

Designed for edge locations and distributed IT applications, these compact systems enable IT teams to deploy remote infrastructure with minimal setup.

Eaton self-cooling rack enclosures
Example - SmartRack modular data center - available in US & Canada

Common applications include:

  • Rapid deployment or expansion at edge locations
  • Pre-configured IT modules in modular data centre designs
  • High-density compute needs in remote locations
  • Autonomous vehicle and sensor data processing near endpoints

One potential use case might be a data center operator leveraging rack-based modular data center systems to streamline the deployment of additional compute resources, supporting workloads such as enterprise databases, virtualisation environments and network services quickly and efficiently.

Eaton rack systems support remote monitoring, load balancing and failover capabilities, all within a scalable and secure architecture.

Eaton offer a number of different systems depending on the region - some key ones are outlined below:

SmartRack Modular Data Centers
(US and Canada)
