FORWARD 05 Automatic for the people In all walks of life, artificial intelligence and machine learning are the buzzwords of the day, and the data centre industry certainly isn’t exempt from these revolutionary technologies. Current elements of data centre infrastructure already incorporate some form of AI, including power supplies and cooling units, and it’s only a matter of time before this expands across more infrastructure for increased automation. Far from a post-apocalyptic view of the world where machines take over, this adoption of artificial intelligence is an absolute necessity with the unavoidable reality that's just around the corner: an exponential increase in connected devices, increased load and an inevitable need for more storage.
