Critical – for both real-time and
simulation/ risk management uses. Our
customers use load banks to simulate
capacity increases and they find
EkkoSoft Critical’s ability to demonstrate
loads as part of their broader data centre
activities a great way of optimising their
risk management strategy.
“It’s great that we’ve now completed our
technical integration with EkkoSense
and we look forward to now offering the
solution to more customers across Europe.”
Rentaload offers a portfolio of smart
electrical load bank solutions for
testing resistive loads for initial data
centre commissioning (Level 4 and IST
Commissioning Tests) and deployment.

Designed for server room power
acceptance testing during the building,
renovation or maintenance of data
centres, Rentaload’s rack-mounted load
bank solutions provide highly accurate
insight into a data centre’s functionality
under normal operating conditions.
EkkoSoft Critical offers a practical and
cost-effective way for organisations to
achieve real time visibility of their critical
data centre heartbeat data.
Because of this, EkkoSense’s intuitive SaaS
offering provides an entirely complementary
solution to the Rentaload proposition.
“Applying Rentaload’s proven load
bank technology is a great way for
organisations to test the actual future load
of their data centres and ensure whether
their initial power and cooling provision
is adequate and compliant,” added
EkkoSense’s CEO Dean Boyle.
“Integrating with EkkoSoft Critical
provides a great value add for Rentaload’s
existing customers, while our joint
proposition opens up new opportunities
across Europe for both our organisations,
particularly those looking for greater
insight into their data centre power,
cooling and space performance.”
