LitBit’s AI to Help CBRE Manage Hundreds of Data Centers (FB)
In a deal promising to result in the biggest-scale application of AI to data center management yet, CBRE Data Center Solutions, which manages hundreds of data centers around the world, has agreed to deploy LitBit’s AI-driven data center maintenance system across those facilities. LitBit is a San Jose, California-based startup founded and led by Scott Noteboom, who in the past held data center executive roles at Yahoo and Apple. Although the company says its AI solution is aimed at the broad industrial facilities management space, the data center market is a particular focus. The startup’s technology monitors data center mechanical and electrical infrastructure and environmental conditions on the data center floor to detect anomalies a human data center manager may not notice. The goal is predictive maintenance, or detecting issues before they cause major operational disruption. | | 2:07a |
