The company has deployed AI in order to drive operational excellence. AI facilities will be leveraged in order to build new-age digitized facilities engineered to drive smart capabilities like predictive maintenance, enhanced operational and energy efficiency, streamlined automation of operations, and optimised capex utilisation.
Nxtra implemented AI technology in its Chennai data centre first and will now deploy the capabilities across all its core data centres.
The key milestones that are aimed to be achieved with this deployment-
- 10% increase in asset life through real-time performance analytics to identify early signs of deterioration and provide corrective recommendations
- 10% reduction in non-IT power consumption through early identification of deviations and energy loss in each piece of equipment
- 15% increase in equipment performance through AI-driven Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD) algorithms and preventative maintenance
- 25% improvement in productivity with intelligent and proactive insights across all DC operations
In the AI deployment announcement, Ashish Arora, CEO of Nxtra by Airtel said, “As a brand, we are always integrating newer ways to build future-ready and sustainable data centres with a vision to deliver superior customer experiences. In line with this, we have been at the forefront of building new-age data centres that leverage automation and advanced technological capabilities. The partnership with Ecolibrium and the integration of AI into the core of our data centres is a crucial step in this direction with which we will advance our energy efficiency and overall performance.”
This step will enable Nxtra to identify opportunities for cost savings and efficiency improvements and build agile data centres with which it can deliver enhanced end-user experiences to its customers.
