Episode notes
AI-First DCIM Reimagines Infrastructure
- Hyperview built an AI-enabled cloud-native DCIM to "make critical infrastructure think."
- The platform creates digital twins and layered analytics to move from descriptive to cognitive operations.
Prepare Data And Controls Before Automating
- Feed AI with comprehensive, structured telemetry and digital twins before applying models.
- Pair analytics with control functions so agents can act on firmware, configuration, power and cooling issues.
AI Training Drives Peak Power Stress
- AI training workloads draw near-constant peak power and can stress power, UPS and cooling systems.
- Retrofitted or "gray space" facilities need real-time evaluation to prevent trips or mechanical overload.
