Resolving The Problem

General Information

The new IBM Distributed Power Interconnect (DPI) is a cost-effective solution for xSeries customers looking for an efficient power distribution product for the rack environment. These Power Distribution Units (PDUs) provide excellent power availability with the following features:

  • Connector linking components rather than country-specific hardwire line cords offer:
    • Easier attachment of proper regional/country line cord
    • Scalability; lets you choose products from 15 A up to 60 A
    • Simplified installation in the rack

  • DPI products extend and enhance availability with their:
    • A modular approach to power distribution
    • Ability to place 42 plus outlets into a rack without sacrificing valuable EIA space
    • Line cord consolidation; reducing line cord saves time and cost

  • Built on IBM Interconnect Rack Architecture, these products help improve the rack ecosystems with their design.

  • Built on the principles of IBM Interconnect Rack Architecture
    with:
    • Speedy installation
    • Simple cabling
    • Money-saving design
    • Improved management

  • Customer-friendly alternatives to current PDUs

  • Great worldwide coverage; many countries supported with DPI

  • Competitive advantages include:
    • Easy setup
    • Fast installation
    • Simple scalability
