\begin{frame}\frametitle{Motivation}
	\begin{tcolorbox}[title=Context]
		21\textsuperscript{st} century datacenters are primarily heterogeneous~\cite{DBLP:conf/date/MilojicicFDR21} and
		modern computational needs of AI drive managers to diversify datacenters even more~\cite{DBLP:journals/computer/AthavaleBBMMPS24}.
		In result datacenters become extremely complex and hard to operate with millions of CPU's, GPU's etc.

	\tiny
	\textbf{Figure 1.1:} Society depends on datacenters to keep running, and therefore we cannot afford to let these systems break down or experience significant performance-related issues.
	With millions of servers in the largest datacenters, real-time management becomes very difficult.

\begin{frame}\frametitle{Problem Statement I}
	\begin{tcolorbox}[title=We need tools to tackle datacenter complexity]
		We need Datacenter Digital Twins (DCDT) to be better able to detect and solve issues in this critical 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 job failures.
	\end{tcolorbox}
	\input{images/table.tex}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}\frametitle{Problem Statement II}
	\begin{tcolorbox}[title=Predictive Analytics]
		Predictive analytics use statistics to predict events in advance.
		Almost any statistical model can be used for predictive analytics, but nowadays predictive analysis is mostly associated with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (\emph{e.g.,} linear regression).
	\end{tcolorbox}

	\tiny
	\textbf{Figure 1.2:} Where does our work fit within the field of datacenter digital twinning?
	There are 5 core elements to any Digital Twin: \myCircled{A} The Digital $\rightarrow$ Physical Twin link, \myCircled{B} the Physical Twin (\emph{e.g.,} the datacenter), \myCircled{C} the Physical $\rightarrow$ Digital Twin link, \myCircled{D} the Digital Twin, \myCircled{E} the features necessary to any Digital Twin.
	\textcolor{ForestGreen}{\faHighlighter~Highlighted areas are the contributions from this thesis, which include the autonomous actions resulting from predictive insights \myCircledGreen{A} and the predictive analysis itself within \myCircledGreen{E}.}

\begin{frame}\frametitle{Extra Slides: Societal Impact}
	\begin{tcolorbox}[title=Why is this research important today?]
		Over 3 million jobs in the Netherlands directly depend on cloud services, which are hosted in datacenters~\cite{DBLP:journals/corr/IosupKLVG22}.
		Already the rapid
		expansion of datacenters has increased the presence of service failures across all cloud
		services~\cite{DBLP:conf/acsos/TalluriOVTI21}.
		We need to act now.

\begin{frame}\frametitle{Extra Slides: Why Digital Twinning?}
	\begin{tcolorbox}[title=Definition]
		A DCDT mirrors the structure, context and behaviour of a datacenter~\cite{DBLP:journals/computer/AthavaleBBMMPS24}. The prerequisite to any digital twin is good monitoring and sensing capabilities in the physical entity.
		Datacenters meet this requirement easily because they already connect hundreds of monitoring sensors. 	\end{tcolorbox}

	\begin{center}
		\includegraphics[height=10em]{images/dt_timeline.pdf}
	\end{center}
	\tiny

	\textbf{Figure E.2:} Due to insufficient technological foundations,
	little work is available on DTs between 2003 and 2018, and it is only with the rapid growth
	of cloud computing, Internet-of-Things and Big Data analytics that DTs have reemerged~\cite{DBLP:conf/cirp/TAO2018169}.
	That is why nobody used digital twins to mirror datacenters earlier.
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}\frametitle{Extra Slides: Why not pure simulation?}
	\begin{tcolorbox}[title=Predicting job failures]
		Preventing failure-caused outages in advance
		can reduce huge operational costs, as over 20\% of all reported outages amount to more than 1 million
		US\$~\cite{DBLP:report/AnnualOutageAnalysis2025}.
		Only a constant bi-directional interaction (digital twin $\iff$ physical entity) can achieve this.

% Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) have high computation overhead, unsuitable for real-time simulation of a dynamic datacenter.
%Moreover oftentimes a poorly configured CFD model can lead to high error rates~\cite{DBLP:conf/sensys/WangZD0TCWZ20}.
%Data-driven Machine Learning performs poorly by the cases not covered in the training data.
