Vertiv launches AI-powered predictive data centre service

Vertiv has launched Vertiv Next Predict, an AI-powered managed service designed to revolutionise data centre maintenance

Moving beyond traditional time-based and reactive approaches, the service industrialises operations by analysing asset behaviour before risks occur. Next Predict represents the latest enhancement in Vertiv’s integrated AI infrastructure portfolio, providing predictive intelligence across power, cooling, and IT systems to establish a unified, resilient foundation for AI-driven data centres.

As AI workloads transform the data centre environment, facilities require greater visibility and control over critical infrastructure to ensure continuous performance at scale. By adopting advanced analytics and predictive maintenance strategies, organisations can proactively address these challenges and maintain reliable operations across distributed environments.

“Data centre operators need innovative technologies to stay ahead of potential risks, as compute intensity rises and infrastructures evolve,” said Ryan Jarvis, vice president of the global services business unit at Vertiv.

“Vertiv Next Predict helps data centres unlock uptime, shifting maintenance from traditional calendar-based routines to a proactive, data-driven strategy. We move from assumptions to informed decisions, by continuously monitoring equipment condition and enabling risk mitigation before potential impacts to operations.”

Vertiv Next Predict uses AI-based anomaly detection to continuously monitor operating conditions and identify deviations from expected behaviour at an early stage. A predictive algorithm evaluates potential operational impacts to determine risk and prioritise response. Root cause analysis isolates contributing factors to support efficient, targeted resolution. Based on system data and the operational context, prescriptive actions are defined and executed, with corrective measures carried out by qualified Vertiv Services personnel.

Built for versatility and future growth, Vertiv Next Predict currently supports a broad and expanding range of Vertiv power and cooling platforms, including battery energy storage solutions and liquid cooling components. The service is designed for scalability, enabling seamless integration with future data centre technologies as part of a unified, grid-to-chip architecture. This approach allows customers to adopt Next Predict today while ensuring the service can evolve alongside their infrastructure requirements.

Vertiv Services brings decades of experience in critical digital infrastructure, a global network of trained technicians, and AI-powered analytics.
