Are you a colo with SLA compliance concerns? 'Single Pane of Glass' Estate Page views remove thermal risk

When it comes to thermal compliance, it’s critical for colocation providers to know exactly what’s going on across all their data center facilities – particularly from a customer SLA compliance perspective. EkkoSense technical lead, Travis Talcott, explains more.

EkkoSoft Critical delivers here for colocation firms, taking optimization to the next level by monitoring and analyzing temperature levels across all sites for optimized performance. And with easy-to-use visualization tools such as the EkkoSoft Critical Estate Page, colocation teams effectively gain access to a Single Pane of Glass window into thermal performance and customer compliance across all their rooms, floors and sites. 
 
In this Tech Tip we’re looking at just how much easier it is for colocation teams to monitor and analyze thermal performance using EkkoSoft Critical. It’s so much simpler for EkkoSense to gather and collate data from across a facility, with our combination of highly granular sensing and alerting making it possible to identify and respond to potential issues before they get a chance to escalate. 
 
Colocation providers particularly benefit from EkkoSoft Critical’s comprehensive integration capabilities, turning our Estate Page screens into a powerful tool for SLA monitoring and compliance auditing across facilities. And it really couldn’t be any simpler for colocation teams to use. Here’s a short 1-minute video that shows you just how valuable Estate Page can prove for colocation providers – regardless of the size and scale of their estate. Here’s what it covers: 
 

  • How to switch to EkkoSoft Critical’s Rooms View to see customer spaces 
  • Select ROOM INFO to view comprehensive room-level metrics 
  • Analyze essential metrics such as compliance for Thermal SLAs 
  • Select the Thermal Data heading or tab to track each customer’s environmental data 
  • Choose a period of time for historical comparisons by changing the Comparison Date 
  • Analyze how conditions have changed over time for your customers, and track key metrics 
  • Or select the LIVE mode option for simple, continuous monitoring 
  • Colocation providers can also track changing conditions from their existing NOC screens, ensuring that potential issues – such as a drop in thermal compliance – don’t arise
