The HP Intelligent Series Rack family is the next generation of enterprise-class racks designed to meet the current and future requirements of demanding datacenters. It offers innovative intelligence capabilities for asset management, unparalleled structural integrity, cooling and cable management advances, and a wide choice of power and switching options.

The HP Intelligent Series is the rack family to offer location discovery intelligence for advanced asset management. This capability integrates with HP Lights-Out Management (iLO) and HP Intelligent Power Distribution Units (iPDU) to communicate to the datacenter manager the U space, row, and rack location of each server and also helps to manage and place the desired workload by carefully mapping where it needs to be placed.

The HP Intelligent Series Rack is an universal rack compatible with all HP rack mounted products. This effort simplifies the HP rack product line by consolidating all previous rack offerings into a single universal rack for all HP server and storage platforms.
