Statistical Mechanics and its Applications Advanced Data Analytics Modelling for Evidence-Based Data Center Energy

Over the past few decades, the demand for Data Center (DC) services has significantly increased due to the world's growing need for internet access, social networking, and data storage. Data Centers are among the most energy intensive businesses, so optimizing the IT operations in DC requires energy-efficient techniques. This paper presents AI based modelling strategies for effective energy management with a particular emphasis on DC's two most energy intensive systems (i.e., cooling and IT systems). This study addresses the issues of IT equipment performance degradation, inappropriate IT room thermal conditions, inefficient workload placement, and excessive energy waste. This research entails the application of machine learning for DC thermal classification, and deployment of deep learning models to predict resource utilization and energy consumption in DC. Furthermore, a comparative analysis is performed with the existing methods to demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed AI techniques. The findings of this study also provide evidence-based recommendations for the efficient energy management in DCs
