Data center risk management: Powerful data center alerts
Travis Talcott, Technical Sales Lead of EkkoSense shares the latest Tech Tip for estate wide thermal alerts for proactive data center risk management.
As data center complexity increases, there’s never been a greater requirement for critical data center infrastructure alerting for proactive data center risk management. Powerful data center alerts can give operations teams early insights they need into potentially critical issues.
That’s where EkkoSoft Critical and our powerful Estate Level data center Alerts capability can really deliver, with powerful 3-tier thermal alerting that can be configured for data centers of all sizes – from the largest hyperscaler infrastructure sites through to Edge facilities.
Because EkkoSoft Critical supports unrivalled levels of IoT sensing, EkkoSense brings an entirely new class of data center risk management and data center alerts for estate-wide data center operations. Our software’s ability to observe changes in real-time means we regularly pick-up on potential thermal failures before they materialize and are picked up by traditional BMS systems.
Combine EkkoSense Estate Level Alerts with the power of the software’s Cooling Anomalies Detection capability, and the solution becomes even more powerful as a tool for proactive maintenance. This could involve picking up on changes that may indicate that cooling units may be overheating, that you may have fan or compressor issues, or even that the filters in your cooling units need changing. It’s this kind of proactive maintenance backed by structured alerting that helps teams to make informed decisions on how to resolve issues.
Estate Level Alerts is also really easy to use. And it really couldn’t be any easier to use. Here’s a 1-minute video that shows you just how to put Estate Level Alerts to work across your data center estate. Here’s what it covers:
- How to view all alerts across your global estate
- Selecting Information Icons to view different alert and alarm definitions
- Selecting your alert or alarm to expand details
- Optionally downloading a CSV of active alerts
