Eaton

America's next wave of innovation depends on more than compute. It depends on the power, cooling and infrastructure that make #AI possible. Working alongside NVIDIA and a broad ecosystem of customers, suppliers and technology partners, we are helping build the resilient, energy-ready foundation needed to support AI factories, advanced manufacturing and the industries shaping the future.

Energy efficiency is no longer about individual upgrades. It is about how buildings perform as connected systems. In this month’s newsletter, Justin Carron, Director of Buildings & Campuses, Electrical Sector – Americas, outlines how data visibility, electrification, and integrated design are shifting buildings from static assets to dynamic, high-performing environments. Read how connected performance is becoming the new standard for cost, resilience, and long-term value.

Progress in Jonesville, South Carolina. Our new three‑phase transformer facility continues to take shape, being part of a $340 million investment to expand U.S. manufacturing capacity and help meet growing demand for reliable, efficient power. The site will support grid modernization, electrification and the continued growth of data centers and industrial infrastructure. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gHip6nZS

Thanks to everyone who voted in our recent poll, "What’s the greatest infrastructure challenge data centers face right now?"

AI is pushing data centers to their limits, but the biggest risk still sits outside IT. Prateek Singh, APAC lead, OT Cybersecurity, outlines why the systems behind cooling, power, and safety are now the true drivers of uptime. When they fail, the impact does not stay contained, it quickly becomes a business issue. Read this month’s edition of our Powering What Matters newsletter to understand why OT cybersecurity now belongs at the center of every resilience strategy.

AI is pushing data center heat load to industrial‑scale levels, and the old cooling playbook is no longer enough. Peter De Bock, vice president of data center energy and cooling technology, explains why traditional air and evaporative cooling drive unnecessary water and energy use, and how advanced liquid and “hot‑water” cooling can reduce or eliminate ongoing water consumption, improve efficiency, unlock more compute per grid connection, and create new opportunities for heat reuse. When cooling is designed right, sustainability and performance reinforce each other. Read the full Powering What Matters article. #ai #artificiaintelligence #datacenters
