What EkkoSense is
EkkoSense is a web-based data center operations platform that combines thermal, power, capacity, and space information in a shared operational view. Its AI prioritizes actions, while users retain final approval and an audit trail for changes. EkkoSoft Critical provides real-time 3D digital twins, capacity planning, and power management. The Cooling Advisor evaluates room thermal optimization and can recommend changes such as adjusting cooling setpoints or fan speeds. The software can detect abnormal cooling performance and notify users before failure occurs. It connects to third-party devices through Modbus and SNMP and can also communicate via oBIX. EkkoSoft is hosted in the Amazon AWS cloud; EkkoSense does not offer an on-premises version. The company says data transfers are encrypted, wireless data uses 128-bit AES encryption, and it holds ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials accreditations. SaaS licensing includes maintenance and updates, with at least one major and two minor releases each year. Pricing is on request and based on monitored elements; hardware requires an EkkoSoft license.
