Matrix Solutions Inc. operates as a supplier and services provider focused on data center infrastructure. Its catalog spans power distribution units (PDUs), cabinets and racks, networking equipment and KVM switching, alongside software and support services intended to help organizations build, upgrade and manage their facilities. The company presents itself as a partner for both new builds and existing installations, covering hardware procurement as well as the operational side of running a data center.

Hardware categories and featured products

The product range is organized around four featured categories: power distribution and PDUs, cabinets and racks, networking, and KVM. Within these areas the catalog lists equipment from brands including Raritan, Server Technology, APC-Schneider Electric, Aten, Zyxel, Allied Telesis, Chatsworth, CyberPower and Logitech.

Among the items highlighted as best sellers at the time of writing were Raritan KVM-over-IP switches such as the DKX4-101 single-port 4K model and the DKX3-416 16-port unit, Raritan PX3 series PDUs, Server Technology switched PDUs in 0U and three-phase configurations, an Aten 4K HDMI-over-IP extender and a Server Technology temperature and humidity probe. The catalog also includes extended warranties, maintenance and support fees, installation services and license renewals, which the site groups under hardware and service filters.

Secure KVM and cross-vendor switching

A highlighted new item is the Raritan Secure Switch (RSS) line, presented as desktop KVM switching for environments that require isolation between connected systems. The company references Raritan's NIAP 4.0 certification information and offers help matching a model to specific requirements. Its buying guides cover rack PDU overview and selection, how to size and engineer a rack PDU, a PDU feature glossary, PDU intelligence tiers, and cross-vendor KVM switches, consoles and extenders, including a Raritan KVM guide.

Software, remote management and training

Beyond hardware, Matrix Solutions works with partner software for data center infrastructure management (DCIM), aimed at monitoring and controlling operations both on-site and remotely. The company states that its clients and their staff come from varied backgrounds with differing levels of network administration experience, which is why it offers DCIM training programs designed to build independence in day-to-day operations. Training covers Raritan, Sunbird and Avocent/Vertiv platforms, and installation assistance and support are also offered for Raritan, Sunbird, Lanotrix and Avocent/Vertiv equipment.

Public sector purchasing through GSA Schedule

The company states that federal, state and local agencies can order IT products through its GSA Schedule pricing, and it invites agencies to contact a GSA specialist for information or a price quote. This channel is presented as a way to simplify procurement for public bodies.
