What is a Data Centre Digital Twin?

A data centre digital twin is a 3D digital model of the physical design and layout of a data centre or server room. A digital twin can be used for a range of purposes including simulations, integration, testing, monitoring, maintenance, load planning and capacity planning. In a data centre environment, a virtual digital twin can be used to analyse cooling, airflow, energy, and power usage. The model can help to identify potential performance improvements and model their outcomes.
