To address this problem, the scientific community has proposed digital twinning as a datacenter management tool. -Digital Twins, which mirror complex objects and processes, provide 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, mandatory for system administrators to make well-informed operational decisions. +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. diff --git a/content/preamble/acknowledgement.tex b/content/preamble/acknowledgement.tex index bbb7169..df5ea7c 100644 --- a/content/preamble/acknowledgement.tex +++ b/content/preamble/acknowledgement.tex @@ -12,6 +12,6 @@ Jesse Donkervliet guided the thesis timeline and greatly assisted in preparation Daniel Halasz provided many insightful comments which shaped the technical contributions. -Daniele Bonetta, Matthijs Jansen, Tiziano De Matteis, Radu Nicolae, Jure Antunovi\'c, Sacheendra Talluri, and Krijn Doekemeijer of AtLarge Research provided indispensable knowledge on conducting good Computer Systems research over the last 2 years. +Daniele Bonetta, Matthijs Jansen, Tiziano De Matteis, Radu Nicolae, Jure Antunovi\'c, Sacheendra Talluri, and Krijn Doekemeijer of the AtLarge Research Group provided indispensable knowledge on conducting good Computer Systems research over the last 2 years.
