AI is significantly altering the operational priorities within the data center, compelling operators to reconsider the design, management, and overall optimization of facilities. At the same time, the need to maintain constant operations has never been more crucial. However, achieving five nines of availability has become increasingly challenging due to AI workloads altering the norms in power, cooling, and traditional infrastructure.
In light of this situation, Marcelo Tarkieltaub, the regional vice president for Southeast Asia at Rockwell Automation, discusses in a recent DCD>Talks episode why the forthcoming wave of data center automation is not about incorporating further technological layers but rather focusing on simplifying operations through adaptable, unified controls for constant functionality. For data center operators, dependability has consistently been the standard.
As infrastructure evolves into a more dynamic entity, maintaining constant uptime necessitates a novel methodology. Tarkieltaub compares other industries where downtime is not an acceptable scenario:. “In the event that you visit an offshore platform or an industrial establishment, these operations must continue without interruption.” For over a hundred years, we have been creating systems intended to function non-stop, no matter the unforeseen circumstances.
Using contemporary controllers, you have the ability to oversee operations with a heightened level of intricacy.
