Hard on the heels of a major expansion announcement earlier this week, Khazna Data Centres, a global leader in hyperscale digital infrastructure, is back in the headlines thanks to news of a deal with Presight, a leading global AI and big data analytics company.
Presight has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Khazna, to deploy a first-of-its-kind AI-optimised facility management system across Khazna’s entire data centre network.
The proposed project will see Presight implement an advanced, AI-powered command and control platform to manage 30 data centres across the UAE. Operating from a secure, state-of-the-art AI hub in Abu Dhabi, the system uses artificial intelligence to monitor energy, cooling, equipment performance and security, predicting issues before they occur and optimising operations around the clock.
Presight explains that the proposed project will mark a major step in advancing vital infrastructure with applied intelligence. It says this further strengthens Presight’s position as a global innovator in AI-powered operations for complex environments, and Khazna’s role as the operator of the UAE’s largest data centre footprint.
The solution is being positioned as the next generation of AI-powered autonomous data centres. In an era where data is growing exponentially and energy efficiency is under intense scrutiny, the parters say it will offer a transformative model to the complex management of a global data centre network.
The solution offers early fault detection to reduce downtime, smarter cooling systems to lower energy usage, predictive maintenance to limit unnecessary servicing, and unified 24/7 oversight to ensure operational continuity across all Khazna data centres.
Importantly, the command and control centre will also form part of technology group G42’s Intelligence Grid, a globally distributed network of AI infrastructure hubs.
The proposed project will unify management of Khazna’s sites with a growing global footprint of artificial intelligence operations from the UAE to Singapore, Kazakhstan, Europe, Africa and beyond.
