As a result of the rapid development of the data center industry, there now is heightened demand for new build data centers as well as retrofitting, modernizing, and maintaining existing sites. This industry as a whole is also facing a workforce shortage of qualified technicians with appropriate skillsets to service these data centers. To overcome these challenges and ensure that our data centers are properly serviced and maintained, the service strategy needs to be planned during the initial design phases. We can no longer follow the traditional path of deploying hardware and waiting until the manufacturer warranties expire to start thinking about how we will service sites. The path forward is through proactive strategies, which will keep dispatches to a minimum, minimize risk and cost, and take IoT digitization into account from the beginning.

In this webinar, executives from Schneider Electric and Compass will discuss how enabling AI-based predictive analytics and condition-based maintenance, using extended reality technologies, and more will positively impact the way we operate and maintain our future data centers while reducing cost and risk throughout the data center lifecycle.
