2019 has been a year that climate has come to dominate the social, political and corporate agenda, and demanding long-term commitments are being made in terms of targets for achieving zero net emissions. With the data centre industry clearly established as one of the world’s highest collective consumers of energy, it’s perhaps hardly surprising that our sector is placing an increased focus on its energy usage.

Introduced to support the EkkoSoft Critical software’s real-time M&E capacity planning for data centre power, cooling and space requirements, Site Power View delivers a detailed analysis of UPS, DC and cooling power use both at an individual room level – as well as cumulatively across entire data centre estates.

I’m looking forward to attending the DCD Awards 2019 on Thursday this week – joining guests from across the data centre industry to celebrate best practice performance across 16 prestigious award categories.

EkkoSense is launching a major new software release. EkkoSoft Critical 6.0 is a distinctive SaaS-based solution that combines granular IoT sensor data with the latest intuitive 3D visualisation techniques to make immersive real-time monitoring and planning of data centre power, cooling and space a reality.

EkkoSense will demonstrate its unique SaaS-powered 3D Capacity Planning capability. EkkoSoft Critical Capacity Planning is the most intuitive platform available on the market for space, power and cooling capacity management – providing live capacity planning functionality, rather than the limited capacity reporting offered by today’s more expensive DCIM systems.

Upsite Technologies, the global leader in data center airflow management solutions, and EkkoSense, a global leader in the provisioning of software-driven thermal optimization for critical environments, have signed a hardware distribution and master reseller agreement at the DCD Dallas event, opening today. The agreement will make Upsite the lead stocking distributor for EkkoSense hardware and a master reseller of the company’s EkkoSoft Critical SaaS offering for North America

EkkoSense will preview its unique SaaS-powered 3D Capacity Planning capability. EkkoSoft Critical Capacity Planning is the most intuitive platform available on the market for space, power and cooling capacity management – providing live capacity planning functionality, rather than the limited capacity reporting offered by today’s more expensive legacy DCIM systems.

Ekkosense has added Rentaload load bank functionality into its EkkoSoft Critical M&E SaaS software. Rentaload is a leading European load bank rental company, and customers across Europe will now be able to view real-time load data in EkkoSoft Critical®, providing them with immediate insight into the impact of their real or simulated data centre loads on cooling, power and capacity performance.
