Organizations would be able to predict, avoid, and fix problems faster than ever by putting AI at the heart of data center infrastructure management.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can drive our cars at some stage in the not-too-distant future, write our programming code, and simplify how we do business. Data centers, too, can not avoid this pattern. Companies and data center operators will be able to organize and handle highly complicated machines, infrastructures, and data more efficiently than ever before, thanks to machine learning techniques, even as their numbers and data volumes continue to grow.

In order to capture, store, process, distribute or allow access to vast volumes of data, data centers are essentially centralized locations where computing and networking equipment is concentrated. Important services such as data storage, backup and recovery, data processing, and networking are offered.

The time has come to pair automation principles with artificial intelligence in data centers, such as those used in Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT). A unique strength of artificial intelligence is the task of analyzing the enormous quantities of data produced by ever more complex systems and structures.

The challenge now is to keep up with the movement towards robotic process automation for data centers, which uses AI algorithms to restructure and optimize conventional processes.

Using intelligent algorithms powered by sensor data from the networks, a data center infrastructure powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) can overcome the limitations of conventional approaches to operate itself effectively. This smart AI engine would be able to detect mishaps, backlogs, or defective settings automatically and has the ability to fix them autonomously, reducing the need for time-consuming human interference. To prevent duplication and stop clients from reaching issues they’ve experienced before, it can also blacklist issues it has previously detected.

AI has not only been able to detect and address issues in the data center, but it also has the potential to provide feedback for improvements promptly. It can identify system optimization and higher efficiency opportunities using the data and insights generated, which in turn have a positive impact on business operations, the productivity of the IT team, and finally the user experience.

According to a new report, jointly released by market analysts IDC and Chinese tech giant Huawei, “Although datacenter networks of different enterprises have different autonomous driving levels, customers in various industries are actively embracing automation to achieve service agility and reliability while reducing OPEX and CAPEX,” added Leon Wang, President of Huawei Data Center Network Domain.

Organizations would be able to predict, avoid, and fix problems faster than ever before by putting AI at the heart of data center infrastructure management. This can drive major increases in productivity and progress in operations while making the infrastructure better and more effective. Most significantly, organizations will be able to reduce service interruption and accelerate time to solve IT problems, enabling their IT teams to concentrate on value-adding activities and enhance the consistency of the user experience.
