Customer Specified Placement

Tab navigation

Customer Specified Placement (CSP) allows you to define and control how you want your system built. CSP enables IBM to specifically deliver your hardware configuration to meet your unique requirements.

Power Systems, with Micro-Partitioning™ (Dynamic Logical Partitioning, LPAR), drives the need to place hardware in specific locations within the system that are not going to be evident when your system is built without the use of CSP.

Benefits

Systems are configured to client's specifications before they ship. Systems are up and running much faster and with higher quality.
Systems no longer have to be rebuilt by client personnel eliminating required space at the client's location. Quality is improved as components are not exposed to the handling damage incurred during a rebuild.
Configurations are run through IBM configuration and validation processes and then tested in the final configuration eliminating the need for any changes during installation.
Improved risk management for the customer and account teams.

The Customer Specified Placement and Customer Specified Rack Placement offerings complement the account team’s implementation plans allowing IBM to deliver your system with the hardware and features in place to meet your specifications.
