Each year DatacenterDynamics (DCD) runs an awards programme that celebrates our industry’s best data centre solutions, projects and most talented people. An expert team of judges is tasked with recognising some of the latest innovations across the sector, and there’s a particular focus on identifying those solutions that can help organisations to maximise their data centre performance.

I am looking forward to presenting at the upcoming ASHRAE 18 CRC conference being held from September 6th to 9th at Loughborough University. We’ll be speaking at ASHRAE’s Technical Conference and Exhibition, and it’s a great opportunity for us to share EkkoSense’s philosophy of software-driven thermal optimisation with the global ASHRAE community.

Our Head of Critical Services, James Kirkwood, has been invited to chair a session on energy management at the upcoming Datacentre Transformation Manchester event on the 3rd July.

EkkoSense has launched the world’s first Internet-of-Things (IoT) enabled wireless thermal sensor. The new ultra-low cost sensor disrupts the traditional data centre sensor cost model, enabling it to be deployed in such vast numbers that true real-time thermal management of critical facilities such as data centres now becomes realistic.

Unlike traditional critical cooling approaches, EkkoSense harnesses the potential of the ‘fully-sensed’ data centre to enable entirely new levels of thermal compliance and cooling energy cost reduction, and capacity optimisation. At DCW18 EkkoSense will demonstrate a series of sensor, software and operational innovations that will confirm the company as a leader in the provision of thermal optimisation solutions for critical live environments.

IT, telecoms and cloud services provider Daisy Group has saved over £115,000 of data centre cooling energy costs during the first few months after signing a 5-year data centre thermal optimisation managed service with EkkoSense.
