INDUSTRY INTELLIGENCE POWERED BY THE DCA
We ’ re already seeing hyperscale data centre operators achieving unprecedented efficiency and environmental performance levels , and they remain at the forefront of leveraging AI / ML to operate their facilities more efficiently than ever .
Google , for example , has been working for over a decade to make its data centres as efficient as possible and says that they are now twice as energy efficient as the standard enterprise data centre . Indeed , by using AI , the company has been able to consistently deliver energy savings of around 30 % on average .
This is an impressive performance and perhaps one that can seem daunting to those enterprise operations and colocation sites that have been slower to adopt AI / ML .
Data centres leveraging Machine Learning to monitor their critical infrastructure and IT load benefit by having better real time visibility of the operation .
Ironically , it ’ s these sites that face greater diversity across their operations than their hyperscale counterparts – and this complexity makes it more challenging for them to find and maintain the correct
