Interxion, a leading European provider of carrier- and cloud-neutral colocation data centre services and a Digital Realty company, announced today it has reduced its cooling system energy consumption by 20% during the first year of an ongoing project with data centre optimisation specialist, EkkoSense.

EkkoSense has introduced a set of powerful remote thermal monitoring options to help global organisations minimise the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on their data centre operations.

EkkoSense’s co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Stu Redshaw considers the impact of homeworking and lockdown on data centres – and looks at some of the steps that operators can take to ensure the resilience of their critical facilities under sustained workload pressures.

EkkoSense has introduced the most intuitive management platform currently available for data centre power, cooling and space capacity management. Unlike expensive legacy DCIM systems that typically offer limited M&E capacity reporting, the company’s EkkoSoft Critical SaaS software now provides data centre operators with true live capacity planning control.

Data centre performance specialist EkkoSense is helping Daisy Corporate Services to unlock data centre cooling energy savings of over £163,000 a year through the deployment of its EkkoSoft Critical SaaS software and specialist optimisation skills.

EkkoSense is exhibiting major developments to its EkkoSoft Critical SaaS-powered 3D visualisation software on Stand D265 at Data Centre World 2020. Demonstrations will include a powerful 3D Capacity Planning capability, additions to the company’s Critical Things family of low-cost, Internet of Things-enabled wireless thermal sensors, and Cooling Advisor – the industry’s first advisory capability built right into the heart of a thermal optimisation solution.

Data centre performance specialist EkkoSense has announced that over 100,000 of its unique EkkoSensor low-cost temperature and humidity sensors are already being used in data centres worldwide. Part of the EkkoSense Critical Things family of data centre sensors and hubs, EkkoSensors help make the real-time monitoring and planning of data centre power, cooling and space a reality

2019 has been a year that climate has come to dominate the social, political and corporate agenda, and demanding long-term commitments are being made in terms of targets for achieving zero net emissions. With the data centre industry clearly established as one of the world’s highest collective consumers of energy, it’s perhaps hardly surprising that our sector is placing an increased focus on its energy usage.
