Vertiv introduces next-generation micro modular data center with AI-features in APAC

The Vertiv SmartAisle 3 uses the power of AI for enhanced system operation, monitoring and energy efficiencies.

Vertiv has introduced the Vertiv SmartAisle 3, a micro modular data center system that utilises AI, providing enhanced intelligence and enabling efficient operations within the data center environment.

Now available in APAC the SmartAisle 3 can be configured up to 120kW of total IT load and is ideal for a wide range of industry applications, including banking, healthcare, government and transportation.

Building on the previous Vertiv SmartAisle technology, the SmartAisle 3 is a fully integrated data center ecosystem consisting of racks, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), thermal management and monitoring and physical security.

This latest iteration comes with AI functionality and self-learning features that help significantly optimise the micro data center operational and energy efficiency.

Each carriage or rack cabinet has a Smart Power Output Device (POD) which manages the power distribution to rack PDUs and serves as a monitoring gateway that oversees carriage conditions including temperature, humidity and door status.

With built-in cabling integration, front and rear carriage sensors, the SmartAisle 3 also eliminates the hassle of complex on-site cabling installation and saves on data center white space.

Moreover, the SmartAisle 3 further reduces the complexity of on-site setup with its one-click networking feature, which configures the data center system. It also has an AI self-learning function that monitors and adjusts temperature depending on the operating environment, helping to achieve energy savings by as much as 20% compared to systems without AI features – while maintaining optimum operation conditions. 

“As demand for data-intensive applications continues to rapidly grow, many businesses are requiring their data center infrastructure to be deployed quickly and efficiently and to be as scalable as possible. Vertiv enriched the Vertiv SmartAisle 3 with AI features to help our customers simplify their data center operations, so they can have greater flexibility in their business operation and to help them achieve their energy efficiency goals,” said Cheehoe Ling, Vice President, Product Management, Vertiv Asia.

Faraz Ali, Product Manager IMS, Vertiv Australia and New Zealand, said: “The speed at which AI is evolving not only demands a workforce that is technically proficient but also a digital economy built on infrastructure designed to scale.”

“By integrating AI directly into data center operations, we’re giving businesses across Australia and New Zealand the opportunity to keep up with their AI ambitions.”

The latest iteration of the SmartAisle 3 is part of Vertiv’s growing portfolio of flexible, fully integrated modular solutions. With its combination of Environmental Management System (EMS), AI functionality and ‘carriage’ type rack architecture, the SmartAisle 3 helps customers boost operational efficiency through comprehensive intelligent monitoring and management, ease of installation, quick deployment time and highly efficient operating conditions.
