Dell Multipack Initiative to Simplify Developments with Delivery of Multiple Servers in a Single Rack

A new server packaging option called Multipack introduced today by Dell can save customers time and simplify server installations by eliminating up to half of the packaging materials and waste resulting during a typical customer installation of IT equipment.1

The company estimates server deployment times can be greatly reduced due to reduced packaging material, helping improve on-site logistics so customers can get their servers up and running faster. The estimated environmental impact could deliver the potential savings of paper and cardboard equivalent to about 52,000 trees per year once the program is available worldwide.1

“Multipack is a win for our customers and a win for the environment,” said Jay Parker, director of PowerEdge™ servers, Dell Product Group. “It continues our commitment to IT simplification by eliminating packaging waste at our customer sites resulting from installation of new products, reducing complexity for our customers while protecting the environment.”

Multipack is now available as a packaging option, at no additional cost, for U.S. customers ordering more than one of Dell’s PowerEdge 1950, PowerEdge 860, PowerEdge SC1435 or PowerEdge 1955 servers. Through the program, which will be made available worldwide, up to four 1U rack height servers or 10 blade servers can be delivered in a single box. In addition to reducing cardboard packaging, with only a single set of product manuals and CDs is included in each box, collateral materials can be reduced by up to 75 percent, further reducing paper use and material waste.
