Data center command hub keeps AI up and running

Singapore – A steady nerve is crucial when keeping watch over hundreds of data centers worldwide, facilities essential to the frictionless online banking, messaging and AI services that society relies on. Analysts sit surrounded by digital maps and dashboards at the Singapore command center of U.S. firm Digital Realty, a major global operator of the warehouse-like sites filled with whirring servers. The goal is not simply to react when something breaks, but to detect warning signs, such as a sudden rise in temperature, early enough to prevent disruption.
