What EkkoSense is
EkkoSense is a web-based data center operations platform that brings thermal, power, capacity, and space information into a shared operational view. Its AI prioritizes recommended 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 conditions and can recommend adjustments such as cooling setpoints or fan speeds; the software can also flag abnormal cooling performance and notify users before failure. It connects to third-party devices through Modbus and SNMP and can communicate via oBIX. EkkoSoft is hosted in the Amazon AWS cloud, with no on-premises version offered. 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 updates annually. Pricing is on request and depends on monitored elements. Hardware requires an EkkoSoft license.
