The Eaton BladeUPS has reached end-of-life status. Eaton will, of course, continue to provide services and replacement parts for the BladeUPS. If you're looking for a replacement UPS, the Eaton 93PX 3Phase UPS is the replacement offering coming in late July 2025
The Eaton BladeUPS is a three-phase, scalable and modular UPS for high density computing environments, including virtualized 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 center needs. While you can design a BladeUPS from scratch, you can also quickly deploy the Eaton BladeUPS Preassembled System, which is a turnkey solution featuring easy customization, shipping and installation. The BladeUPS can be easily monitored via the units’ brightly backlit LCD screen and through Eaton’s Intelligence Platform.
"Before Eaton's products we had APC stuff. In terms of the reasons we switched; capacity for the footprint was one, price was absolutely another and the scalability."
