HONG KONG, Sept. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--
Big Data Exchange (BDx), a Pan-Asian data center cluster, has entered into an
agreement with Red Dot Analytics (RDA) (
) to digitally transform BDx's facilities, empowering them to be more efficient
and sustainable. The first phase of the three-year project with RDA, a
Singapore-based pioneer in the industrial artificial intelligence (AI) space,
will focus on cooling and PUE optimization at BDx's facilities (
) in mainland China, Hong Kong and Singapore.

This agreement enables BDx to identify inefficiencies throughout its facilities
by leveraging RDA's Data Center Solution (
) that integrates AI-driven applications and automation. As a result, BDx will
gain deep insight into its data center life cycle management, delivering lower
energy costs, less human error and increased capacity utilization. Ultimately,
BDx will reduce its carbon emissions and footprint, which is critical as the
demand for digital continues to increase the need for data centers.
Technological advances are especially in demand in Singapore, which is home to
one of BDx's data centers. Singapore supplies approximately 60% of data center
needs across the Asia Pacific region, however a data center moratorium (
) has been implemented while government officials address concerns over data
center sustainability. Data centers comprise 7% (
) of the nation's total electricity consumption, due in large part to the cost
of cooling data centers in order to protect equipment from the hot, humid
environment.
"RDA's artificial intelligence-based technology will provide visibility into
our systems to identify ways we can increase performance and sustainability
without compromising the safety standards required for mission-critical
infrastructure," says Jeremy Yew, COO for BDx. "This focus on energy and
operational efficiency will help us advance our operations and increase our
quality of service."
Through its digital twin technology model, RDA creates critical infrastructure
in the physical world and optimizes it with the use of AI-based applications.
The company's advancements in sustainability and predictive maintenance allow
mission-critical data center operators, like BDx, to keep providing needed
connectivity in a more efficient environment.
"BDx will have a stronger ability to identify and prevent potential hotspots
and other thermal safety concerns within the data center," says Professor
Yonggang Wen, Chief Scientist at RDA. "Cooling regulation and optimization will
result in a PUE optimization of up to 5%. The increased efficiencies will lead
to additional savings for BDx and its customers in a more sustainable
environment."
