AI-Driven Data Center Cooling Optimization Software
Cooling Advisor is the industry’s first fully embedded, AI-powered data center cooling tool that delivers proven best-practice guidance to optimize your data center—at your own pace. As part of the EkkoSoft Critical data center management platform, Cooling Advisor helps operations teams continuously improve cooling performance while reducing risk.
How Cooling Advisor Optimizes Data-Center Cooling
Data center cooling optimization is the continuous process of aligning cooling capacity, airflow delivery, and thermal control with real IT load to maintain ASHRAE compliance while minimizing energy waste. Cooling Advisor applies AI-driven analytics and real-time sensor data to make this process repeatable, safe, and measurable across rooms and sites.
Live AI analysis of rack temperatures & cooling load
Cooling Advisor continuously analyzes rack inlet temperatures, airflow behavior, and cooling load using live data from EkkoSense sensors. This enables early detection of inefficiencies, hotspots, and emerging thermal risk.
Actionable tasks: adjust CRAC setpoints, fan speeds & grille layout
Insights are translated into clear, prioritized tasks such as CRAC and CRAH setpoint optimization, fan speed tuning, and floor grille layout improvements—allowing teams to reduce cooling energy without compromising availability.
Governing to 100% ASHRAE thermal compliance
All recommendations are governed by defined safety boundaries and aligned with ASHRAE thermal guidelines. Operators remain in control, with full approval workflows, rollback options, and a complete audit trail.
EkkoScore™ – Your Data Center Cooling Performance Index
EkkoScore™ is a cooling-specific performance index that measures how effectively airflow and cooling resources support IT load. Unlike PUE, which reflects total facility efficiency, EkkoScore provides a focused view of cooling performance and optimization progress across the data center.
Up to 30% Cooling Energy Savings, Proven in Live Sites
Data center operators using Cooling Advisor have achieved up to 30% reductions in cooling energy consumption across live production environments. These results are driven by continuous optimization, governed execution, and sustained visibility into thermal performance. See examples in the EkkoSense Effect case studies.
