Racktivity has a world-class team of
seasoned executives, researchers,
technologists and investors.

Racktivity has created the industry’s first and only single system of energy management for the data center. Racktivity was formed with one core value to deliver to customers: the ability to understand and control energy distribution across the enterprise, in near real-time, to allow IT business operations to be coordinated with their costs. Racktivity provides extreme granularity for our customers to their entire enterprise, across structures, organizations and geographies.

We focus on proactive and predictive disaster prevention and faster recovery through our use of our patent-pending EnergyDNA™ technology, central to every hardware product we make. These EnergySwitch™ solutions allow our customers to save money through reduced energy consumption, eliminating idle devices, identifying devices which are just beginning to fail which ultimately improves uptime. Racktivity's EnergySwitch PDU Family also supports our highly articulated EnergySensor™ Family of temperature, humidity, sound, light, airflow and pressure and rack security. It helps IT managers prevent and diagnose problems at the energy and environmental layer.

The company was founded in 2008 by Wilbert Ingels, CTO, who held senior management roles at Level 3 and Terremark. Serial entrepreneur Kristof De Spiegeleer seeded the company and now serves as its Chairman. Over the course of 2010, the remainder of the corporate functions of Sales, Marketing and Operations were filled with a highly seasoned team of professionals who have spent more than a combined 50 years supplying products and solutions to the data center world.

The Racktivity Management team has a proven track record in developing and bringing innovative technologies to a commercial success, including Cyclades and Avocent (now both Emerson), Raritan, Q-Layer (acquired by SUN Microsystems), Datacenter Technologies (acquired by Symantec), Nimsoft (acquired by Computer Associates), Hostbasket (acquired by Telenet), and Dedigate (acquired by Terremark). The company received its first round of venture capital funding in 2009 from Big Bang Ventures and its second round of funding thru Partech Internatiional and Hummingbird Ventures (formerly Big Bang).
