AI-driven workloads are transforming data center design and operations, pushing the limits of power density, cooling capacity, and system complexity. Traditional monitoring and rule-based control approaches are no longer sufficient to keep up with rapidly shifting demands.
This session introduces Executable Digital Twin (xDT) technology—originally developed for high-complexity industrial systems—as a breakthrough solution for the data center domain. xDTs integrate high-fidelity, multiphysics simulations with live data from IT and facility systems to continuously self-calibrate and adapt in real time.
Attendees will discover how xDTs enable predictive maintenance, scenario testing, energy optimization, and virtual commissioning of control strategies—helping data centers operate more efficiently, reliably, and sustainably.
