We're heading to Data Centre World Asia

EkkoSense will be exhibiting on Stand R132 at Data Centre World Asia, 29–30 September, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore with our local partner, AdvanceData Networks.

Come and see how EkkoSense AI helps operators get more power capacity and more compute from the infrastructure they already have, without the CapEx of a new build.

Save the date — we'll see you at Stand R132.

Your GPU racks are liquid-cooled. The rest of the room is still air-cooled. Two systems, two sets of sensors — so who's actually turning that data into the next decision?

That's the question our CPO Paul Milburn digs into in his latest article. The honest answer for most operators today is: nobody, consistently — not because the data isn't there, but because it's split across disconnected systems that were never built to talk to each other.

Paul walks through what hybrid cooling monitoring software needs to get right: correlating rack-level temperatures, CDU flow rates, and CRAC/CRAH performance into one trusted picture, so anomalies get caught before they cascade — and operators can safely push every room closer to its true capacity limit.

Does your data center run on more systems than most dashboards can show?

BMS. SCADA. DCIM. Field sensors. EpMS. Asset management. Each one added for a good reason, building real operational value over the years.

The next step is connecting them. When thermal, power, capacity and space data can finally be seen as one picture, teams get the time and confidence to make consistently smarter decisions, site after site.

The EkkoSense Data Center Operations Intelligence (DCOI) Platform sits above your existing stack as a single orchestration layer — light-touch, vendor-agnostic, fast to deploy — unlocking "Operational Truth" from the systems you already run.

The result: every room and site pushed to its true, safe limit, with full visibility and the confidence to operate responsibly. No rip and replace — just more value from what you've already built.

From Risk Management to Optimisation

Historically, data centre cooling strategy was simple:

“Keep everything cold to stay safe.”

Today, that approach is increasingly unsustainable.

With modern visibility platforms and AI-assisted optimisation, operators can move from reactive cooling to intelligent control.

The result:

• Lower PUE • Reduced energy costs • Increased thermal confidence • Extended facility lifespan • Higher operational efficiency

Peter Simon shares practical lessons from 25 years in the data centre industry in this latest white paper https://www.ekkosense.com/resources/guides/from-the-trenches-the-physics-politics-and-practice-of-data-centre-optimisation/

"Age doesn't determine obsolescence. The inability to adapt does."

Our Patricia Alvina (Business Development, SEA) joined a panel in Kuala Lumpur this week tackling one of the toughest questions in the region's data centre market: Malaysia Data Centre Futures — what will still matter in 2036?

Her take cut through the usual capacity debate. Malaysia's real risk isn't building too many data centres — it's building the wrong kind: facilities without the agility to keep meeting client demand as workloads evolve.

On what makes an asset investable, Patricia flipped the classic question: instead of "how old is this data centre?", ask "how adaptable is it?" A 15-year-old facility that's been continuously optimised — low PUE, low opex, visible headroom — can out-perform a five-year-old data centre with high PUE and no cooling or power headroom left to give.

The tell-tale signs of a data centre losing relevance, long before it hits the balance sheet: capacity that exists on paper but can't be used, operators who've lost confidence in their own headroom, cooling that keeps getting harder to manage, and efficiency that quietly erodes deal by deal.

Her view on Malaysia's next competitive edge: move from cheap power to reliable, sustainable power; build for changing compute densities, not today's; and make operational efficiency — not just megawatts built — the national differentiator. As she put it: "The first phase was about how many megawatts we can build. The next phase should be about how intelligently we use those megawatts."

And on retiring ageing facilities: optimise first, upgrade if the economics work, repurpose if AI doesn't make sense — demolition should be the last option, not the first.

Great to see EkkoSense's operational intelligence perspective shaping the conversation on where Malaysia's data centre market goes next.

“EkkoSoft Critical gives us total visibility of the environment, minute by minute. We know where we’re overcooling, where we’re at the limit, and we can act with precision — always focused on efficiency and uptime.” – Gisele Santos of Everest Digital.

The EkkoSoft Critical platform enables real-time monitoring of thousands of thermal and operational points through an intuitive 3D interface, machine learning algorithms, and automated recommendations to optimize the environment. With it, Everest achieved operational maturity from day one:

- Early detection of inefficiencies and thermal risks, supporting operational continuity and extending equipment lifespan;
- Improved capacity management (power, cooling, and space), with digital twin capabilities and expansion simulations;
- Automated ESG reports, with auditable data for sustainability and efficiency metrics.
- Up to 28% reduction in cooling energy consumption, even with the rise in computing density (AI, GPU, HPC);
- Elimination of overcooling zones, ensuring energy is directed precisely where needed;

BMS, EPMS, DCIM - all the acronyms but still no clear visibility?

The modern data center software stack is often built around overlapping platforms:

- Building Management Systems (BMS)

- Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS)

- Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM)

These systems frequently share devices, dashboards, and telemetry. Operators often see the same alarms, electrical one-lines, UPS metrics, generator data, temperature readings, and power trends replicated across multiple tools. While each platform serves an important operational purpose, they largely function as systems of record rather than systems of understanding.

And that creates a challenge.

If multiple platforms are showing the same infrastructure monitoring data, are you actually gaining deeper operational insight—or simply duplicating?

EkkoSoft Critical does not replace the visibility already provided by BMS, EPMS, or DCIM platforms. Instead, it amplifies and complements them.

In this article Justin Blumling discusses how, by transforming operational telemetry into contextual intelligence around capacity, efficiency, and risk, EkkoSoft Critical enables data center teams to make faster, smarter, and more confident decisions—without rip-and-replace projects or added technical debt.

The data has always existed. The competitive advantage comes from understanding it better and putting it to work says Justin https://hubs.li/Q04qDtGm0
