Augmenting Existing IT Procurement and Deployment Workflows Through the Integration of a Digital Twin

Explore how digital twins can enhance data center IT procurement and deployment workflows in this 16-minute conference talk. Learn about the ongoing integration of digital twin technology into existing IT processes, focusing on how these systems bridge traditionally siloed verticals between compute hardware and physical infrastructure. Discover how physics-based digital twins automatically update as underlying physical assets change, providing continuous information exchange between digital representations and real-world data center components. Examine practical applications of simulation data in decision-making processes, including impact assessment of proposed changes before implementation and evaluation of diverse placement options to mitigate risk and reduce energy consumption. Understand how this integration approach improves existing workflows without requiring complete reimagination of pre-existing practices, making digital twin adoption more accessible for data center operations.
