 		We need Datacenter Digital Twins (DCDT) to be better able to detect and solve issues in critical ICT infrastructure~\cite{DBLP:journals/computer/AthavaleBBMMPS24}.
 		However, DCDT's are still actively developed and lack crucial features such as predictive analytics~\cite{DBLP:usdoe/report/AP26894} to \emph{e.g.,} prevent unexpected failures.
-		With predictive analysis (\emph{e.g.,} simulation) DCDT's could save millions of lost \$USD~\cite{DBLP:conf/acsos/TalluriOVTI21}.
