Digital twins will create a new blueprint for data center design
THE SO WHAT
Using digital twins for data centers turns design and operations into a continuous simulation problem—thermal, power, and workload decisions can be tested before steel hits the ground. If you’re planning new capacity, insist on a twin-first approach so siting, cooling, and AI workload mix are optimized in software, not expensively reworked later.
