EkkoSense, the leading provider of software-driven thermal optimisation and capacity management solutions for data centers, appoints Cairo-based Smart Pillars as its first Egyptian sales and implementation partner.

Smart Pillars is a specialist provider of Internet of Things (IoT)-based digital transformation solutions across key sectors including Banking & Finance, Telecoms and ICT. The company will focus on making EkkoSense’s proven EkkoSoft Critical IoT-enabled data center monitoring solution available for the first time to customers across Egypt and surrounding area.

“We’ve already seen how EkkoSoft Critical can be easily deployed across a broad range of data centers, and how it consistently cuts average data center cooling energy usage by around a third with an ROI of 12 months or less,” explained Ahmed Abdo, one of the founders of Smart Pillars. “In addition to these impressive energy savings, the fact that EkkoSoft Critical also equips data center IT and facilities management teams with true, real-time insight into their cooling, capacity and power usage opens up exciting new possibilities for data center performance optimisation across our region.”
