Data Centres

Your data centre is critical to the economy, enabling the storage, processing, and transmission of vast amounts of industrial data powering businesses, e-commerce, and cloud services. The U.S. is rapidly expanding its data-center infrastructure to meet growing demand for cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and data-driven technologies. This build-out supports digital transformation across industries while creating jobs, boosting local economies, and driving advancements in sustainability. With the investments planned and the first wave of data centres now requiring upgrades, peers in the industry are looking to leverage industry partners like Avid to reduce their risk and time to market.

Turning electrons and water into bytes requires digital solutions and connected systems. Managing your data centre assets involves major automation challenges, including ensuring optimal energy management and cooling to handle the high heat output of servers while maintaining uptime. Additionally, real-time monitoring and automation must balance data center power distribution, cybersecurity, and scalability, all while minimizing the risk of equipment failure and optimizing operational costs through advanced analytics and process control.

You also face challenges such as reducing time to market, implementing scalable solutions, human capital constraints, and minimizing environmental impacts. While these challenges may appear formidable, they can be addressed effectively through a combination of advanced technology, including artificial intelligence with machine learning algorithms, and industry expertise.

By leveraging Operational Technologies (OT) such as automation and information solutions, along with industry experience in IT and OT integration, you can effectively manage these issues. Proper OT implementation can help prevent higher costs during CapEx projects as well as OpEx over the 20-year lifespan of your systems. Operations, support, and data center maintenance are important for reducing the Total Cost of Ownership over the life of OT systems and should be factored in from the beginning, utilizing digital twins and smart sensors for optimal performance and resource allocation.
