We are living an era of cyber-physical systems, where the physical and digital worlds are closely connected. While COVID-19 has affected most if not all of us, data centers have ameliorated its impact by keeping people connected and the economy afloat. The growing reliance on digital infrastructure has created an urgent need to intelligently monitor and manage data centers, improving their operational continuity, effectiveness, productivity, and sustainability while reducing their risk of failure.
Data centers are complex and dynamic environments. The advances in intelligent monitoring, robotics, and AI allow pattern recognition and behavior predictions almost immediately. It’s these three trends in data center management automation that reduce human interaction.
