How machine learning and AI are changing data center management

Data center environments must stay consistent regarding things like humidity and temperature. Otherwise, the costly equipment inside them could begin malfunctioning. Moreover, data center clients want assurances that the valuable information stored within a facility will be available whenever they need it, and maintaining consistency comes into play there, too. Here are four ways machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) are upending data center management. Energy efficiency is a constant concern for data center managers. In 2016, Google started working on a project that involved using AI to meet climate control needs in the brand's data centers.
