introduced a major new release of
its SaaS-powered 3D visualisation and
optimisation software. EkkoSoft Critical
4.1 delivers unrivalled Monitoring and
Evaluation (M&E) Capacity Planning and
Simulation capabilities for data centre and
facilities management professionals, offering
full cooling and power capacity planning
coverage, as well as powerful real-time ‘What
If?’ simulation support. functionality at a fraction of the cost of
traditional infrastructure management
approaches. With EkkoSoft Critical 4.1 in
place, data centre managers can – for the
first time – benefit from real-time visibility
of their critical heartbeat operational data,
while advanced 3D simulation capabilities

led CFD approaches, EkkoSoft Critical 4.1 is
based on rigorous data centre thermal and
power management engineering principles
and is set to disrupt the sector by providing
data centre operators with true DCIM-
class Capacity Planning and Simulation “Given that so much data centre operator
and facilities management time is taken
up with tracking data centre thermal
performance and ensuring the right cooling,
power and space capacity strategies are
in place, EkkoSoft Critical 4.1 provides the
data centre management toolset needed “We’ve focused on making EkkoSoft Critical
4.1 particularly easy to use, removing the
requirement for expensive consultancy
support. Operation is as simple as dragging
and dropping critical rack and cooling
assets into place and running simulations,”
