Many businesses also take advantage of CPI’s ability to install PDUs into an enclosure before it ships. Complete data center enclosure and power solutions will ship together making ordering, tracking and installation easier.

Proper cable management is essential for maintaining an organized and efficient IT environment. CPI offers a variety of customizable cable management solutions, including vertical and horizontal cable managers, cable trays, and pathway systems.

Innovative & Collaborative Customization Process 

CPI's ability to deliver highly customized solutions is supported by its innovative customization process. This process is designed to be efficient, flexible, and customer-focused, ensuring that each project is completed to the highest standards. 

The customization process begins with a collaborative design phase, during which CPI's team of experts works closely with the customer to understand their specific needs and objectives. This phase involves detailed consultations, site assessments, and feasibility studies to ensure that the proposed solution is both practical and effective. 

Once the design is finalized, CPI creates prototypes of the customized solution for testing and validation. This phase ensures that the solution meets all performance and quality requirements before full-scale production begins. By conducting thorough testing and validation, CPI can identify and address any potential issues early in the process, ensuring a smooth and successful implementation.

CPI's commitment to customer satisfaction extends beyond the delivery of the customized solution. The company provides ongoing support and service to ensure that the solution continues to meet the customer's needs over time.
