19" System test emulators

With the increasing heat generated from the latest server technology it has become imperative to estimate the environmental and power demand before either data centres are built or equipment installed in existing data centres.

To emulate, in so far as is possible, those demands there is a choice between a full software based examination or just placing fan heaters for a ‘best guess’ alternative.

HOTBOXX exists to fill that gap between expensive and subjective software for data centre heat dissipation assessment and the simple but inaccurate employment of space heaters to simulate possible hotspot scenarios.

Each 19” mounted HOTBOXX comes with dual stepped heater control and variable fan controls allowing for complete server environment simulation when and wherever required.

By renting a HOTBOXX any data centre from the small room to large data halls can be pre tested before the servers are installed.
