EkkoSense has launched Site Power
View to simplify capacity planning
by using unique 3D power schematic
visualisation to display data centre power
usage in real-time.
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.
“Site Power View directly addresses the
requirement for real-time monitoring
and planning of data centre power.
Using a distinctive 3D power schematic
visualisation it provides both data centre
IT and facilities management teams with
immediate insight into rack power usage
and associated PDU utilisation across
their estate,” said EkkoSense’s Head
of Product Management, Paul Milburn.
“With the new functionality, our latest
EkkoSoft Critical 6.0 release goes beyond
traditional reporting to offer true capacity
planning at a fraction of the cost of more
expensive and complex traditional DCIM
and BMS solutions.”
Previously, data centre teams would have
needed a combination of DCIM tools,
outputs from their BMS and multiple
spreadsheets to gain an understanding of
power usage from a whole site perspective.
Site Power View in EkkoSoft Critical 6.0
dramatically simplifies this entire process,
with comprehensive power overlays and
immersive 3D visualisations that not only
display power usage, but also clearly show
how power is being distributed and used
from room to room. These full Site Power
View schematics are critical for effective
capacity planning, enabling smarter
and faster capacity decisions across
connected rooms.
Site Power View’s 3D visualisations enable
the creation of a series of interactive
reports covering power usage, power
usage breakdowns and power capacity
across the entire data centre estate.
Site Power View monitors both rack
power usage and associated Power
Distribution Unit (PDU) utilisation and
indicates spare power capacity where
available. These cover:
Power usage: Total Power kW, IT Power
kW, Cooling Power kW, PUE
Power usage breakdown: Site Mains,
IT (UPS) Power, IT (DC) Power, Cooling
Power, Miscellaneous Power and other
non-DC Power
Power capacity: Summary, Site Power
Capacity, IT Power (UPS) and (DC) Limits,
Capacity Overviews
Site Power View is a key feature within
EkkoSoft Critical 6.0, EkkoSense’s
distinctive SaaS-based solution that
combines granular IoT sensor data with
the latest intuitive 3D visualisation
techniques to make the immersive real-
time monitoring and planning of data
centre power, cooling and space a reality.
EkkoSense solutions are available directly,
or through the company’s expanding
network of international partners across
the US, Europe and Asia Pacific. ◊
