Ready for AI DC
This slide illustrates the “Preparation and Operation Strategy for AI Data Centers (AI DC).”
In the era of Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLM), it outlines the drastic changes data centers face and proposes a specific three-stage operation strategy (Digitization, Solutions, Operations) to address them.
1. Left Side: AI “Extreme” Changes
Core Theme: AI Data Center for Generative AI & LLM
- High Cost, High Risk:
- Establishing and operating AI DCs involves immense costs due to expensive infrastructure like GPU servers.
- It entails high power consumption and system complexity, leading to significant risks in case of failure.
- New Techs for AI:
- Unlike traditional centers, new power and cooling technologies (e.g., high-density racks, immersion cooling) and high-performance computing architectures are essential.
2. Right Side: AI Operation Strategy
Three solutions to overcome the “High Cost, High Risk, and New Tech” environment.
A. Digitization (Securing Data)
- High Precision, High Resolution: Collecting precise, high-resolution operational data (e.g., second-level power usage, chip-level temperature) rather than rough averages.
- Computing-Power-Cooling All-Relative Data: Securing integrated data to analyze the tight correlations between IT load (computing), power, and cooling systems.
B. Solutions (Adopting Tools)
- “Living” Digital Twin: Building a digital twin linked in real-time to the actual data center for dynamic simulation and monitoring, going beyond static 3D modeling.
- LLM AI Agent: Introducing LLM-based AI agents to assist or automate complex data center management tasks.
C. Operations (Innovating Processes)
- Integration for Multi/Edge(s): Establishing a unified management system that covers not only centralized centers but also distributed multi-cloud and edge locations.
- DevOps for the Fast: Applying agile DevOps methodologies to development and operations to adapt quickly to the rapidly changing AI infrastructure.
💡 Summary & Key Takeaways
The slide suggests that traditional operating methods are unsustainable due to the costs and risks associated with AI workloads.
Success in the AI era requires precisely integrating IT and facility data (Digitization), utilizing advanced technologies like Digital Twins and AI Agents (Solutions), and adopting fast, integrated processes (Operations).
