Columbus, United States - January 26, 2026 - Vertiv Holdings Co., a global provider of critical infrastructure technologies for data centers, communications networks, and commercial facilities, today launched a new AI-powered predictive maintenance service designed to help data center operators anticipate and prevent equipment failures before they occur.
The offering, called Vertiv™ Next Predict, uses machine learning, real-time analytics, and advanced anomaly detection to monitor the health of critical data center systems, including power distribution, cooling equipment, and emerging technologies such as battery energy storage and liquid cooling, and to provide actionable insights to operations teams.
Unlike traditional maintenance models that rely on scheduled inspections or reactive troubleshooting after equipment failures, Vertiv said Next Predict continuously analyzes performance data to identify early indicators of developing problems and recommends prioritized corrective actions. According to Vertiv, this approach can significantly reduce unplanned downtime and extend the life of key assets.
Ryan Jarvis, vice president of Vertiv’s global services business unit, said the escalation of compute intensity in modern data centers, particularly those supporting artificial intelligence and high-performance workloads, requires a new era of maintenance strategy. “Operators of critical digital infrastructure need proactive, data-driven tools to stay ahead of potential failures,” Jarvis said. “Moving from reactive to predictive care can materially improve availability and reliability for mission-critical environments.”
Vertiv said Next Predict is designed for scalability and broad applicability across its installed base of equipment, and integrates with the company’s existing monitoring and fleet analytics platforms. The service aggregates data from sensors and system controllers to build a dynamic operational baseline, then uses AI algorithms to detect deviations and forecast risk across key components.
Industry analysts say the launch reflects a broader shift in the data center ecosystem toward AI-enabled operations and analytics, where automation and predictive insights increasingly augment human decision-making and improve uptime performance. As power densities increase and workloads become more demanding, tools that anticipate failures before they occur are gaining traction among hyperscale operators and enterprise IT customers alike.
Vertiv did not disclose pricing for Next Predict but said the service is immediately available to customers globally. The company also noted plans to expand the solution’s capabilities through future software updates and integrations with additional digital infrastructure management tools.
