 However, predicting datacenter behaviour quickly and reliably is a non-trivial problem that remains insufficiently unaddressed in the existing \gls{dcdt} architectures ~\cite{DBLP:conf/wosp/SumanCNTMI24, DBLP:journals/computer/AthavaleBBMMPS24} and deployments~\cite{DBLP:conf/sc/BrewerMKWBHSGGW24}.

 We envision \gls{dcdt}'s as systems indispensable in future datacenters, actively interacting with the real-world facility, lowering operational costs and predicting hardware failure and software faults.
 In this work, we address the lack of a unified \gls{dcdt} system model and the absence of predictive capabilities in existing \gls{dcdt} system designs.
 We argue that the current state-of-the-art \gls{dcdt}'s lack sufficient predictive capabilities that are essential to real-time facility management of a modern datacenter.
