TECHNOLOGY it significant compute demands to process that data , often in real-time , requiring everhigher levels of service provision from our data centres .”
Interestingly , Lex Coors , Chief Data Centre Technology and Engineering Officer at Interxion , is more sceptical about the capabilities of AI : “ AI has not yet impacted the industry as true AI does not yet exist . For true AI – and we should not take less as an objective – we need emotion , intuition and feeling .”
He does argue that intelligent machine learning ( IML ) is what we are seeing in the technology space and outlines two ways this is benefitting the data centre industry :
• “ Optimised the power usage effectiveness ( PUE ) of data centres
• Cutting the maintenance costs by means of ‘ Condition-based Maintenance ’, where analysis of wear and tear and run-time data identifies the maintenance needed .”
