THE SPEED AT WHICH AI IS EVOLVING NOT ONLY DEMANDS A WORKFORCE THAT IS TECHNICALLY PROFICIENT BUT ALSO A DIGITAL ECONOMY BUILT ON INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGNED TO SCALE . integrated data center ecosystem consisting of racks , uninterruptible power supply ( UPS ), thermal management and monitoring and physical security .

This latest iteration comes with AI functionality and self-learning features that help significantly optimise the micro data center operational and energy efficiency .
Each carriage or rack cabinet has a Smart Power Output Device ( POD ) which manages the power distribution to rack PDUs and serves as a monitoring gateway that oversees carriage conditions including temperature , humidity and door status .
With built-in cabling integration , front and rear carriage sensors , the SmartAisle 3 also eliminates the hassle of complex on-site cabling installation and saves on data center white space .
Moreover , the SmartAisle 3 further reduces the complexity of on-site setup with its oneclick networking feature , which configures the data center system . It also has an AI selflearning function that monitors and adjusts temperature depending on the operating environment , helping to achieve energy savings by as much as 20 % compared to systems without AI features – while maintaining optimum operation conditions .
“ As demand for data-intensive applications continues to rapidly grow , many businesses are requiring their data center infrastructure to be deployed quickly and efficiently and to be as scalable as possible . Vertiv enriched the Vertiv SmartAisle 3 with AI features to help our customers simplify their data center operations , so they can have greater flexibility in their business operation and to help them achieve their energy efficiency goals ,” said Cheehoe Ling , Vice President , Product Management , Vertiv Asia .
