Financial sector data centre management
Ahead of his visit to the FinTech Connect Show in London, EkkoSense AI Key Account Manager Adrian Barker shares his views on data centre management in the financial sector
In financial services, every second of uptime matters. Your data centres are the backbone of trading platforms, payment systems, and operations that can’t afford disruption. Financial sector data centre management is critical.
Temperature fluctuations can lead to equipment failures, costly downtime, and energy waste. But here’s the challenge: maintaining optimal data centre thermal performance while also meeting increasingly strict ESG commitments and regulatory requirements.
That’s where EkkoSoft Critical supports financial services clients. This isn’t just temperature monitoring – it’s intelligent environmental data centre management that delivers three critical advantages.
First, it dramatically reduces operational risk. Real-time temperature monitoring across your entire data centre infrastructure means you can identify and address previously hidden thermal issues before they start to impact your services. For financial institutions, where downtime can cost millions per hour, this proactive approach is essential.
Second, it accelerates your net zero journey. EkkoSoft Critical helps optimise cooling efficiency, reducing energy consumption without compromising performance. For financial services firms under pressure from investors and regulators to demonstrate climate action, this provides a clear, quantifiable pathway to reducing your carbon footprint.
And third, it delivers tangible ESG metrics. You get concrete, auditable data on energy efficiency improvements and emissions reductions. This isn’t vague sustainability messaging – it’s the hard numbers your stakeholders, regulators, and investors demand.
