Yahoo adopts Raritan's intelligent PDU (power distribution unit) in its data center.

Raritan Japan Co., Ltd. announces that Raritan's intelligent PDU (power distribution unit) "PX2-1000" has been adopted as the intelligent PDU supporting the service infrastructure of Yahoo! JAPAN, operated by Yahoo Japan Corporation.
The background for adopting Raritan's intelligent PDU in conjunction with the expansion of Yahoo! JAPAN's service infrastructure includes a comprehensive evaluation of Raritan's problem-solving and proposal capabilities, speed, and other factors among existing vendors to address operational challenges. Yahoo has positioned the prevention of cable disconnection caused by loosened power cables due to server heat dissipation and vibration at the back of the rack as a critical operational issue, emphasizing the importance of proposals for PDUs that incorporate measures to physically prevent power cables from disconnecting.
With this implementation, Yahoo can focus on operations without worrying about cable disconnection, thereby achieving improvements in work efficiency and operational efficiency. Further details of this case can be viewed on the website. (http://www.raritan.co.jp/resources/case-studies/power/yahoo/)
