Datacentre Testing
A new datacentre is designed and expected to run continuously for the duration of its design life. To achieve this level of reliability it is necessary to thoroughly test the infrastructure before it goes into production. It is necessary to mimic the characteristics of the IT equipment as closely as possible. Using servers to complete the tests is not possible for a variety of reasons; cost of servers, potential for damage to servers, complexity of workload management to drive the servers and the time taken to reset servers after each test.
The safest and most economic way is to use a heat load bank; this provides electrical load and produces a heat load, facilitating testing of the electrical and cooling systems in a controlled environment. Mafi Mushkila has developed a rack mountable 3u 2kW heat load; with 4.1MW available. With a further 3.7MW of floor standing 15 and 22kW heat load units. All units are available for rental or as part of a managed service.
Mafi Mushkila heat loads have been successfully used for Data Centre & ITEC room testing and manufacturer product testing in the past 12-months in the North East, Yorkshire, East Anglia, Essex, Thames Valley, Surrey and Gloucestershire. Available on equipment only hire basis or as part of a fully managed, installation, operation and maintenance service.
