Singapore, 9 May 2024 - With its optimisation platform featuring a powerful Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine, advanced physics-informed digital twin platforms, and a customer-centric approach, Red Dot Analytics (RDA) has earned Frost & Sullivan’s 2024 Asia-Pacific (APAC) Enabling Technology Leadership Award in the AI data centre landscape.
Founded in 2016, RDA is a deep-tech spin-off from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, envisioning to transform the applications of AI and digital twin solutions to digitalise, optimise, and automate data centre operations across the full lifecycle of a data centre, from design and construction to operations and maintenance.
RDA’s optimisation platform, DCVerse, features a powerful AI engine and advanced physics-driven digital twin platforms covering the full spectrum of thermal and energy systems, including chiller plants, computer room air conditioners, liquid cooling, heat exchange modelling at chip level, and air-liquid hybrid cooling modelling.
To date, RDA has deployed its predictive analysis and optimisation capabilities across more than 10,000 racks carrying 130 megawatts of IT capacity, consistently achieving energy efficiency improvements of over 10% within a single quarter.
According to market research, the rapid adoption of AI is driving data centres to realign their design and operational capabilities to meet the unique requirements of AI workloads. Data centre service providers must invest in technologies capable of supporting next-generation facilities.
“As AI deployments require data centres to accommodate the unique demands of AI workloads in both design and operations, RDA has developed an offering that aligns closely with this industry trend. In addition, the company’s product roadmap, which includes planning, development, and implementation strategies, incorporates client feedback to ensure its portfolio continues to meet evolving customer requirements effectively.”

Furthermore, RDA’s solution delivers industry-grade modelling and optimisation for hybrid cooling configurations, including both air and liquid cooling, to support the cooling density and capacity required for automatic identification and data capture (AIDC), which is expected to become a mainstream feature of future data centres.
“The company’s brand strength, supported by more than 18 technology disclosures and patents, as well as over 60 scientific publications, underpins its exceptional growth trajectory. More importantly, RDA’s values reflect its strong commitment to customer-centricity and its unwavering focus on delivering tangible outcomes.”
— Riana Barnard, Best Practice Research Analyst at Frost & Sullivan
With its optimisation platform designed to support both new and legacy data infrastructure for AI workloads, RDA offers a differentiated value proposition for the transformation of the data centre landscape. Frost & Sullivan expects the company to continue benefiting from strong and growing market demand.
