Data centers are critical for the digital economy, but catastrophic failures remain common, often leading to business outages measured in hours. Responding effectively requires far more than a reliable playbook; filling and routing vast numbers of individual support cases in real time demands a deep level of operational automation, aided by machine learning and extensive metadata tagging. A comprehensive set of AI-driven models and algorithms is proposed to oversee all of these processes, including two machine-learning models to determine the priority and direction of each incoming case, together with corresponding playbooks detailing how each case should best be resolved. The automation covers areas of low complexity and high volume that are typically best suited to machine learning, while preserving human oversight where making the correct choice is more nuanced. Consideration is also given to resource scheduling and the management of dependencies between cases.
Operational performance, latency, scalability, privacy, and compliance are significant challenges. In a pilot program, model predictions and automations were validated using a real-time simulation that netted more than 400 individual case flows, more than one-third of which were actively routed or resolved by the AI components. A phased rollout approach will facilitate continued qualitative validation as operational volumes gradually increase. Each level of saturation will remain under close monitoring to ensure consistent operational sustainment, with built-in mechanisms to allow fine-tuning of the AI components and human playbooks.
