HEATLOAD’S NEW 200A AND 250A THREEPHASE POWER DISTRIBUTION BOARDS SET
NEW STANDARDS IN DATA CENTRE TESTING
HeatLoad has announced the availability of 200A and 250A
three-phase power distribution boards, as part of the ongoing
expansion of its test equipment portfolio. The new products will
prove invaluable in ensuring that a facility is able to perform as
expected, even if the final power distribution equipment has not
yet been installed.
The new power distribution boards are supplied pre-wired
with eight 32A three-phase outlets. Each unit is capable of
powering six or eight 22kW three-phase floor standing heat
load units and their use is perfect for facilities that have not
completed final fit out but still require infrastructure testing.
HeatLoad currently has sufficient stock to power approximately 2MW of load, while the
number of units available can be increased to meet customer demand in less than a week.
HeatLoad’s products have been successfully employed in data centres across a diverse
array of vertical sectors including finance, petrochemical, military, pharmaceutical and
telecommunications, as well as some of the world’s leading colocation facilities. All units can
be supplied on a rental only basis or as part of a managed load testing service package.

Scality and Dell expand collaboration to provide
petabyte-scale Software-Defined Storage solutions
for digital businesses
Dell and Scality have combined engineering efforts to offer the Dell SD7000-S, the densest
purpose-built storage server for the Scality RING file and object-based architecture.
The Dell SD7000-S combines Scality RING software and Dell systems for high
capacity environments, and is an ideal solution for large-scale file and object storage
requirements. The SD7000-S with Scality RING expands to multiple petabytes and billions
of objects with near linear performance scaling, offering joint customers a single source for
acquisition, deployment and support.
To date, Scality and Dell have worked together to build software-defined storage
infrastructures for managed service providers, government agencies, and media and
entertainment organisations. The use of object storage drives better economics, increases
scalability and offers flexible data protection.
This partnership with Dell is the latest in a series of strategic achievements Scality has
secured over the past 18 months, including new customers, distribution agreements, and
a global resale agreement. Dell has previously offered Scality RING-based solutions built
on its Dell PowerEdge server, Dell Storage and Dell Networking portfolio.
