The EkkoSIM software platform draws on first principles maths and physics models to create the industry ’ s most precise data centre cooling , power and capacity simulations – with accuracy levels already running at 99 % plus .

It is designed for CFOs validating their investments , CIOs trying to identify capacity bottlenecks for increasing IT loads or planning their optimum cooling strategy , or CTOs with engineering responsibility for keeping ahead of customer needs . The EkkoSIM Digital Twin helps data centre teams to zero in on the right decisions by creating , testing and analysing the results of multiple data centre ‘ what if ?’ scenarios . EkkoSIM can unlock the answers you need . It also provides a great way of establishing the likely impact of changing environmental conditions on your estate .

The EkkoSIM interface clearly displays the capacity for each unique asset class based on the provisioned ( maximum ) and utilised ( existing ) site loads . EkkoSIM also integrates with the award-winning EkkoSoft Critical 3D platform , drawing on its 50 billion point data lake to provide live actual versus expected performance data in order to review operation performance against OEM specifications .

EkkoSIM will support unlimited simulation scenarios , with examples including the addition of new plant ; increased IT loads ; failover scenarios ; reconfiguration of cooling systems ; and viability of new power distribution systems . Other simulation options will include quick simulations , graphical analysis , configuration of electrical and mechanical systems , alternative cooling configurations for chilled water , split DX units , air-cooled chillers , liquid cooling IT racks and air economisers , as well as N + R and 2N + R resilience testing .

EkkoSense ’ s EkkoSoft Critical AIpowered optimisation software delivers quantifiable reductions in cooling energy usage . With its light-touch , software-based approach and noninvasive nature , EkkoSense also helps data centre teams to secure immediate benefits with results achieved in just weeks , and project ROI timescales of under 12 months in many regions . �

“ It ’ s easy to underestimate the sheer pace of change in today ’ s data centre sector , particularly with operations teams under pressure to support the latest high-density AI loads and evolving cooling approaches ,” said Dr Stu Redshaw , Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer , EkkoSense .

“ That ’ s where EkkoSIM can really help , with our powerful ‘ what if ?’ analysis providing straight answers to some key data centre questions , including ‘ how can I predict and maintain optimal performance ?’; ‘ what equipment do I need to replace and when ?’; and ‘ what spaces can I use for high-density loads such as AI ?’,” Redshaw added .
