Introduction
Read this case study from EkkoSense. It explores CO2 carbon emissions and how Telehouse and Ekkosense will, together, reduce them by 461 tonnes.
Key Challenges
In addition to meeting environmental goals, Telehouse faces the ongoing challenge of ensuring that its data centre operations continue to support both its customers’ evolving colocation and hosting requirements as well as the company’s own business growth objectives.
Telehouse needed an environmental strategy to deliver against both challenges – enabling improved data centre performance while at the same time securing carbon reductions.
The Solution
Telehouse engaged its services partner CBRE to identify next steps for its data centre performance optimisation programme. CBRE advised that Telehouse engage EkkoSense to deploy the EkkoSoft Critical AI-powered monitoring software. Backed by EkkoSense’s specialist cooling optimisation skills, EkkoSoft Critical was considered an excellent solution to help Telehouse accelerate cooling and airflow optimisation across its UK data centres.
The project goal was to secure continuous performance improvements around visibility, efficiency and resilience, with the initial phase at Telehouse North – the company’s oldest facility that opened in 1990. Target project outcomes included optimising cooling performance, removing potential thermal risk, and unlocking quantifiable carbon savings to support Telehouse’s carbon reduction goals for 2022 and beyond.
