At Data Clean Asia, we’ve always specialised in creating pristine, high-performance environments for critical spaces like data centres, cleanrooms, and controlled environments. Today, we’re excited to share a major step forward in our mission to support more efficient, sustainable, and resilient data centre operations across the region.
Through our strategic partnership with EkkoSense, a leader in AI-powered data centre optimisation, we are now enabling our clients to not only keep their data centres clean—but also intelligently optimised for performance and energy efficiency.
One powerful example of what this partnership can deliver: Virgin Media O2, a major UK telecoms provider, achieved over £1 million in annual cooling energy savings across 20 data centre sites using EkkoSense’s cutting-edge platform.
Helping Clients Like Virgin Media O2 Reach Net Zero
Virgin Media O2’s ambitious Better Connections Plan aims for net zero carbon emissions by 2040 across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. With energy usage being a major sustainability focus, their operations team sought an effective solution to reduce data centre cooling loads without compromising performance or uptime.
Working with EkkoSense, Virgin Media O2 deployed EkkoSoft Critical—a real-time AI-driven optimisation platform—across 20 of their data centres. The result? A transformative reduction in cooling energy use, with annual savings exceeding £1 million, equivalent to 760 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.
What Makes EkkoSense’s Platform So Effective?
EkkoSense combines low-cost IoT sensors, powerful machine learning analytics, and intuitive 3D visualisation to give operations teams unparalleled visibility into their data centre’s thermal, power, and capacity conditions. It’s not a traditional DCIM system. It’s a lightweight, software-first optimisation layer that enables data-driven decisions in real time.
Key features include:
- Digital twin technology to identify airflow inefficiencies and hot/cold spots
- AI-powered anomaly detection and thermal risk mitigation
- Wireless cooling duty sensors that provide real-time kWc performance data for each CRAC/AHU
- Actionable visualisation to rebalance airflow and increase free air utilisation
Within weeks of deployment, the Virgin Media O2 team could monitor and adjust site conditions with a level of precision and speed that would have taken weeks using conventional methods.
Data Clean Asia: Now Supporting Data Centre Optimisation
As a certified integration partner for EkkoSense in Asia, Data Clean is uniquely positioned to deliver not only a clean physical environment—but also a smart, efficient one.
Our services now extend beyond contamination control and preventive maintenance. We help clients implement the EkkoSoft Critical platform, supporting:
- Sensor installation and calibration
- Software deployment and training
- Ongoing optimisation and performance reporting
- ESG alignment and Scope 2 carbon reduction tracking
Accelerated ROI for Large-Scale Deployments
Virgin Media O2’s example shows just how fast the EkkoSense solution delivers results. Across their 20 data centres, the system was rolled out in just six months—and cooling savings began immediately. The average improvement in cooling efficiency exceeded 15%, with further optimisation still underway.
These kinds of results are not limited to telecoms or the UK. The same AI-powered optimisation is now available across Singapore and Southeast Asia through Data Clean.
The Future: Intelligent, Sustainable Data Centres
With rising energy costs and increasing environmental pressures, the data centre industry must evolve beyond reactive maintenance and manual tuning. AI and real-time analytics are critical to this shift.
At Data Clean Asia, we’re proud to be at the forefront of this evolution—helping operators see what’s happening in their environment, act faster, reduce waste, and improve resilience.
Whether you manage a hyperscale facility, enterprise server room, or mission-critical cleanroom, we’re ready to support you with an end-to-end optimisation solution that integrates environmental cleaning with operational intelligence.
