COVID 19: Optimize your Data Center remotely and limit the risks!

I. A complicated current situation for Datacenters

As you know, we are facing a rather complicated and unusual period due to COVID-19. It is therefore necessary to be able to adapt and take the necessary measures in order to limit the risks as much as possible and ensure continuity of service in many so-called essential areas. And this, of course, concerns data centers.

Long before the COVID-19 pandemic, some data centers were already experiencing power supply as well as cooling problems. This still represents almost a third of unplanned outages and can considerably jeopardize the continuity of service.

These malfunctions turned out to be even more critical during periods of confinement when the demand on these infrastructures increased sharply. And unfortunately it is not ready to stop with the exponential prospects for use in the months and years to come.

So how do you ensure the proper functioning of the infrastructure to cope with increased demands? How to limit the risk of not being able to ensure continuity of service? And how to adapt to this new environment which advocates social distancing?

II. The solutions provided by Rentaload:

To respond to this dual problem, RENTALOAD offers connected solutions for testing Data Center infrastructures with a wide range of load banks adapting to the different environments of computer rooms. With equipment dedicated to this type of test and RENTALAB & EKKOSENS E supervision software, we are able to support you with a reduced number of operators on tests offering kilowatt precision.

So you can:

• Carry out tests in a precise and coordinated manner (programming of tests, programming of the level of charge, programming of the switchover from one channel to another, choice of delta T, automatic recording, collection of P/U/I/… information and editions of test reports)
• Control your load banks remotely thanks to the connected function of the banks and our integrated supervision software (know that you can control up to 200 banks at the same time!)
• Limit the staff present on site (time saving of 20% over the duration of the tests)
• Collect accurate real-time measurements of both electrical and thermal (Voltage, Current, Power, power supply, temperature etc.)
• Visualize your room in 3D using the EKKOSENSE software
• Check the compliance of your installations
• Monitor and optimize the performance of your data center and thus limit the risks

In addition, EkkoSense Remote solutions allow, once permanently installed on site, to continue monitoring computer rooms remotely and thus respond to problems of site confinement or limited human resources on site.

We also invite you to watch the EKKOSENSE General Manager’s interview on YouTube which explains how EkkoSense is redefining data center optimization.
