Singapore, 11 April 2024 - Red Dot Analytics (RDA), a Singapore-based company specialising in AI and digital twin technologies for data centres, has announced a collaboration with intelligent power management company Eaton to develop AI-focused solutions and operational use cases for data centre infrastructure.
Commencing in April 2024, the collaboration brings together Eaton’s expertise in data centre power and infrastructure management with RDA’s Cognitive Digital Twin technology. The initiative will focus on areas including predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, and energy efficiency optimisation to support more sustainable and resilient data centre operations.
The collaboration comes as data centre operators face increasing operational complexity driven by rising compute demand, higher rack power densities, and wider adoption of AI workloads. Through the partnership, both companies will explore AI-driven approaches to improving infrastructure visibility, operational optimisation, and resource efficiency across data centre environments.
As part of the collaboration, Eaton and RDA will also undertake joint pilot projects within the industry to evaluate new approaches for improving the sustainability and resilience of AI-focused data centres.
Richard Farrell, APAC Regional Director of Cybersecurity, Digitalisation and Data Centre at Eaton, underlined the importance of reliable and efficient data centre infrastructure: "Especially as the digital economy continues to accelerate and AI adoption expands across society. Our collaboration with Red Dot Analytics will enable us to co-develop modern, AI-driven data centre solutions that will help operators support the rising demand for computing power while meeting sustainability and energy-efficiency requirements."
“With the landscape becoming increasingly complex and rack power density shooting up to tens of kWs on GPU-heavy setups, it is getting more challenging for the industry to achieve an optimal balance between performance, resilience, and sustainability. Harnessing the full power of AI and digital twin technology will be a necessity across the full life cycle of data centres, from AI-driven design validation to real-time operational optimisation.” said Henry Xu, CEO of RDA.
Xu added: "Eaton brings a wealth of experience in data centre management, alongside expertise in designing digital solutions that are always-on and sustainable. We look forward to this partnership with Eaton to create AI-driven use cases for data centres and help businesses effectively manage their technology assets and resource consumption with hyper intelligence."
The collaboration also builds on Eaton’s ongoing participation in industry research initiatives, including the Sustainable Tropical Data Centre Testbed (STDCT) project, which focuses on advancing commercially viable and sustainable cooling technologies for tropical data centre environments.
