New levels of data center capacity management released
EkkoSoft Critical 9.1 launched with further Capacity Module enhancements explains Paul Milburn, EkkoSense Chief Product Officer
The EkkoSoft Critical 9.0 product launch in Q2 2025 brought new levels of data center capacity management to the space, but now our product development team are taking things even further with EkkoSoft Critical 9.1. Key highlights include:
- Rack Data Center Capacity Management – a completely new way to add racks to the Capacity Module enables better decisions and a clearer understanding of capacity checks. A new dynamic hover sidebar gives an advanced view of either approval or current restrictions. Ticket pop-up status is now editable with new power and cooling indications.
- The Capacity Module also now features Enhanced Ticketing Insights. Criteria includes capacity ticket reference, ticket type, power type and value. Also, insight into who made the update, who approved the ticket and any additional data center capacity management conditions.
- EkkoSoft Rack Monitoring expanded to support up to eight 3-phase PDUs per rack enabling monitoring and rack reporting for much higher rack power densities up to 200kW per rack and up to 400kW for immersion pods.
- Estate Page enhancements – Site PUE and WIP flags are now visible on the estate page. This can provide users with ESG updates as well as details of any work that might be being carried out on site that could impact performance metrics.
- Simplified EkkoLink configuration – to support the 9.1 release we’ve also introduced automated configuration for our EkkoLink data aggregator hardware. In addition to speeding configuration, this also simplifies more frequent processes such as adding new sensors to a rack.
- Improved 3D Visualization and Interactions – 9.1 features new objects to support evolving cooling requirements. For example we now differentiate air and liquid cooling, with clear pipework to indicate liquid cooling resources. There’s also support for rack-mounted CDU equipment.
