Predictive Count/Resolve Time for .

Posted on by lechuck park

the “Predictive Count/Resolve Time” Diagram

This diagram illustrates the workflow of IT Operations or System Maintenance, specifically comparing Predictive Maintenance (Proactive) versus Recovery/Reactive (Reactive) processes.

It is divided into two main flows: the Preventive Flow (Left) and the Reactive Flow (Right).

1. Left Flow: Predictive Maintenance

This represents the ideal process where anomalies are detected and addressed before a full system failure occurs.

  • Process:
    • Work Changes / Monitoring: Routine operations and continuous system monitoring.
    • Anomaly: The system exhibits abnormal patterns, but it hasn’t failed yet.
    • Detection (Awareness): Monitoring tools or operators detect this anomaly.
    • Predictive Maintenance: Maintenance is performed proactively to prevent the fault.
  • Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):
    • Count: The number of times predictive maintenance was performed.
    • PTM Success Rate: A metric to measure success (e.g., considered successful if no disability/failure occurs within 14 days after the predictive maintenance).

2. Right Flow: Reactive Recovery

This is the response process when an anomaly is missed, leading to an actual system failure.

  • Process:
    • Abnormal → Alert: The condition worsens, triggering an alert. The time taken to reach this point is MTTD (Mean Time To Detect).
    • Fault Down: The system actually fails or goes down.
    • Propagation Time (to Experts): The time it takes to escalate the issue to the right experts. This relates to MTTE (Mean Time To Engage Expert).
    • Recovery Time: The time taken by experts to fix the issue.
  • Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):
    • MTTR (Mean Time To Resolve/Repair): The total time from the failure (Fault Down) until the system is fully recovered. Reducing this time is a critical operational goal.

3. Summary & Key Takeaway

The diagram visually emphasizes the importance of “preventing issues before they happen (Left)” rather than “fixing them after they break (Right).”

  • Flow Logic: If an ‘Anomaly’ is successfully ‘Detected’, it leads to ‘Predictive Maintenance’. If missed, it escalates to ‘Abnormal’ and results in a ‘Fault Down’.
  • Goal: The objective is to minimize MTTR (downtime) on the right side and increase the PTM Count (proactive prevention) on the left side to ensure high system availability.

Ready For AI DC

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).

From DALL-E with some prompting
The image appears to be a flowchart or diagram explaining the requirements for digitalization. It starts on the left and moves to the right, outlining the transition from traditional facility-based operations to data service-based operations.

  • Facility-based Operation: On the top and bottom left, there are icons representing a computer and servers, symbolizing traditional facility-centric operations.
  • Operation Digitalization: In the center, there is a process that represents the transition of these facility-based operations to digitalization. It is labeled ‘Operation Digitalization’ and includes elements like data analysis and service development.
  • Data Service-based Operation: On the top right, icons representing modern data services like cloud computing illustrate the shift from facility-based to data-centric operations.

The bottom section includes the following detailed elements:

  • Enhancing Data Precision & Performance
  • Data Analysis System
  • DC Service Development
  • Data-based Operating

These elements are linked to the required experiences from traditional facilities (Facility Exp) and DC development (DevOps) as well as operational experience (DC Operation Exp). These components emphasize the various skills and experiences necessary for a digital transformation.

The overall diagram provides a high-level view of the different aspects of the digital transformation process, emphasizing that this transformation requires not only technical and operational capabilities but also a change in organizational experience and knowledge.
