December 30, 2014

2014 Year in ReviewProduct innovation, excellence and customer delight have been the heart of Chatsworth Products’ (CPI) mission for 23 years. This year was no different. Let’s take a quick look at the top product releases of 2014. They include: 

Build To Spec (BTS) Kit Hot Aisle Containment (HAC) Solution – Ideal for retrofit applications, this solution arrives on a pallet with eight unique components to field-fabricate a duct over a contained aisle. The BTS Kit can be used over a mix of cabinets of varying sizes and can be ceiling- or cabinet-supported.

High-Density eConnect® Power Distribution Units - High-density eConnect PDUs with six built-in circuit breakers are the answer to customers predicting two- to three-year power growth deploying blade servers, network switches and cabinets with more than 30 servers. New features were also added to all models.

CPI Mini Catalog App and App Suite – The CPI Mobile App Suite was made available for Apple or Android devices to help you determine cable fill, select server or wall-mount cabinets, identify the best power distribution unit (PDU) and create bills of material (BOM) for cable pathway, while on the go. We also turned our popular Mini Catalog into a handy mobile app for iPads.

N-Series TeraFrame® Gen 3 Cabinet System - Taking equipment management one step further, CPI’s ultimate network cabinet supports the deployment of different devices; regardless of size, model or airflow requirements, within one cabinet without the need for additional accessory kits, while providing complete airflow isolation.

Remote Infrastructure Management (RIM) System - CPI’s RIM System monitors, records and analyzes environmental, security and safety conditions of equipment in a single server cabinet or row of cabinets, providing data center managers flexibility and ease-of-mind. Choose between RIM-750 or RIM-1000.

Z4-Series SeismicFrame® Cabinet - Engineered to protect and store network equipment in seismically active areas, the new Z4-Series SeismicFrame Cabinet System is the most innovative seismic cabinet in the market today, featuring flexibility and an industry-leading seismic equipment load. The Z4-Series meets the stringent seismic testing from Telcordia Technologies— GR-63-CORE—and has California’s OSHPD Preapproval of
Manufacturer’s Certification (OPM).
