Coming out of Father\u2019s Day, I asked ChatGPT to write me a Dad Joke about the leading cause of downtime in data centers\u2026a rudimentary test of how ubiquitous issues caused by human intervention are. Here\u2019s what it gave me\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No offense to data center operators. They certainly aren\u2019t nuts. But the fact of the matter is, humans aren\u2019t perfect. As long as we\u2019re the ones tasked with intervening on maintenance issues, we\u2019re going to have errors. Uptime Institute\u2019s research attributes roughly 60% of incidents to Human Error, so the best way to limit errors is to limit human interventions. To that end, Compass partnered with Schneider Electric to co-create the EcoCare platform for predictive maintenance. The results have been nothing short of astounding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With EcoCare, data is gathered and transmitted from sensors attached to critical equipment. The sensors are constantly monitoring for irregularities, things like temperature spikes or motor vibrations. A gateway processes data from the many sensors and devices, feeding a continuously monitored, advanced analytics platform. With this depth of data, we\u2019re able to see when systems are \u201cunder the weather\u201d and in need of intervention. Maintenance is addressed before a minor issue escalates into a costly outage.\u202fWe\u2019re able to stay ahead of equipment failure and only intervene when necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The system not only enhances reliability but also supports Compass\u2019s broader mission of sustainable development by reducing energy consumption, minimizing e-waste and optimizing resource use. With EcoCare, we\u2019re able to meet the surge in data demand faster and more reliably – delivering accelerated speed-to-market while enabling end-user customers to grow more quickly and meet requirements for data processing, storage and delivery. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
