How artificial intelligence makes datacenters smarter

The idea of artificial intelligence (AI) has always seemed futuristic, but today there is no shortage of companies offering AI solutions. However, does AI offer tangible business solutions, especially in datacenters? Take for example, the case of monitoring energy usage in a datacenter. In a typical datacenter, the manager has to keep track of hundreds of computer room air conditioners (CRACs) with thermostats and manually adjust them. But, if an AI system was in place, it could learn via the algorithm to automatically adjust the cooling depending on different times of the day along with different utilization rates.
