Server Emulator
Load Banks
A data hall full of load, before a single server ships. SE-Series rack-mounted emulators reproduce the exact electrical draw and front-to-back thermal output of live IT racks — letting you commission cooling, airflow and power distribution against a realistic, controllable heat map.
Overview
Real rack load,
fully programmable.
Cooling and airflow can only be proven against a realistic heat load distributed exactly as servers will sit. The SE-Series places programmable load and matched fans inside standard rack units, so each rack draws its rated kW and exhausts heat front-to-back like the IT it stands in for — validating containment, CRAC/CRAH performance and CFD models before go-live.
Every unit is individually addressable over the network, so an entire hall can be ramped, stepped and patterned from one console to simulate steady-state, peak and fault scenarios — and to map hot spots while there is still time to correct them.
