+In the modern AI economy, the strong computational demand causes datacenters to become complex, diverse facilities.
+The sheer volume of CPUs, GPUs, NPUs \etc necessary to satisfy the customers' needs complicates system administration.
+Moreover, future warehouses are at an even higher risk of becoming unmanageable, according to the Jevon's Paradox of Computer Systems.
+To address this problem, the scientific community has proposed digital twinning as a datacenter management tool.
+Digital Twins, which mirror complex objects and processes to provide actionable management improvements, are a novel way to tackle the rising warehouse complexity.
+However, Datacenter Digital Twins are still under development, and lack crucial features, such as predictive analytics.
+Without predictive maintenance and forecasts, system administrators cannot make well-informed operational decisions.
+
+In this work, we propose to enable predictive analytics for datacenters using digital twinning.
+We survey the datacenter digital twinning field, and organize our findings into a system model.
+Additionally, we design \mysystem~-- a novel reference architecture for predictive datacenter digital twins, and evaluate it through prototype-based experiments.
+Our results indicate \mysystem is capable of reliably differentiating between mild and severe compute failures, and can successfully incorporate a predictive analytics engine to the benefit of datacenter managers.
