The global digital twin market is on a rapid scent, projected to skyrocket from $11.51 billion in 2023 to $137.67 billion by 2030. Spanning industries from aerospace to healthcare, digital twins are becoming an essential tool for efficient management. But what is a digital twin?
Essentially, it's a digital replica of any real-world entity - a product, system, or process- used for simulation, testing, and maintenance. For instance, a data center digital twin is just that, but for data centers, and can be powered by cutting-edge computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for unparalleled accuracy in airflow and temperature predictions.
Despite the buzz, a Cadence study of 500 technology professionals in the data center field revealed only 42% are up to speed with leveraging digital twin technology. Recognizing this gap, Cadence developed this whitepaper to demystify the purpose of digital twins in the context of data centers and showcase how to maximize their value.
