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. 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.

Pete brings in-depth experience as an operationally-focused international Group CFO and Regional Managing Director to EkkoSense, and his proven international leadership and financial management expertise will be instrumental in driving the company’s next key growth phase. His appointment follows EkkoSense’s recent addition of Adrian Barker from Vertiv as Key Account Director, and also of data centre expert Mark Acton to the company’s board as a non-executive director.

Mark brings over 25 years’ senior global data centre operations and consulting experience, both in senior executive and non-exec roles. He spent the last seven years as Head of Data Centre Technical Consulting with CBRE Global Workplace Solutions, where he was responsible for ensuring that the company’s DCS service offering set the data centre sector’s highest possible benchmarks.

I’m looking forward to attending next week’s Kickstart Europe Conference in Amsterdam.

It’s Europe’s largest data centre industry event, and also a great way to meet up with colleagues, clients and potential customers and get a sense of how our market will evolve through 2019 and beyond.
