Data centre performance specialist EkkoSense has announced that over 100,000 of its unique EkkoSensor low-cost temperature and humidity sensors are already being used in data centres worldwide. Part of the EkkoSense Critical Things family of data centre sensors and hubs, EkkoSensors help make the real-time monitoring and planning of data centre power, cooling and space a reality

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.

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.

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.

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.
