Vertiv Management & Operations Innovation Day

Key themes include the evolution of maintenance models for scale and resilience, the integration of liquid cooling services to support AI-ready workloads, and the use of AI-enabled insights to extend asset lifecycle value.

New maintenance models for scale and resilience

As data center operators and facility managers oversee ever-growing computing footprints across enterprise, colocation, and managed service environments, the challenge is clear: maintain continuous availability while enabling efficient, scalable growth. Service strategies are evolving beyond traditional maintenance models toward proactive, consultative, and data-driven optimization. How are new service models reshaping the dynamics of today’s operational demands? Join us discuss key questions:

• How are current operator maintenance needs evolving?
• How is the role of OEMs and service partnerships changing?
• How are data-driven services enhancing the operations and management of facilities?
• What does best practice look like for predictive and condition-based maintenance services?

Using data to extend asset lifecycle value

Design complexity brings with it new maintenance challenges for data centers, making digital services and software crucial for managing maintenance. In this session we explore how operators can make use of digital solutions to enable a shift from reactive maintenance to predictive, data-driven operations, connecting intelligence across the entire asset lifecycle to drive faster decisions, reduced downtime, and stronger ROI. Join us to discuss:

• Moving from reactive risk to proactive advantage with AI-enabled services
• Reducing total cost of ownership and increasing asset lifecycle value
• Accelerating decision-making, minimizing downtime, and boosting ROI in facility management
