DCG Session 23: Data Center Operational Sustainability - Technology

Session 23: Data Center Operational Sustainability – Technology — This video explains how to leverage technology to make operations safer, more efficient, and more autonomous, moving from basic BMS and metering to broader sensing, DCIM 2.0 dashboards, analytics, prediction, and controlled actions. It traces the evolution from siloed monitoring to integrated data capture via field sensors/IoT, consolidates signals into decision?ready views, and then applies algorithms to predict failures and optimize performance, with eventual closed?loop control where appropriate. The session also proposes a layered tech stack that links building blocks to automation and process workflows, urging teams to digitize SOPs/MOPs/EOPs and core management systems (incident/problem/change/capacity/asset/training) so operations become software?defined and human?error resilient, yielding tangible cost reductions and reliability gains.
