Latin America. Vertiv acquired Waylay NV, a Belgian company in hyperautomation and generative AI software platforms, as part of its ongoing investment in AI-based monitoring and control technologies for its power and cooling systems.
Vertiv expects this investment to strengthen its ability to enable customers around the world to increase uptime, optimize energy use and improve operational intelligence across their critical digital infrastructure.
As AI workloads continue to drive strong growth in data center demand, the need for intelligent and adaptive infrastructure continues to grow. AI-based digital services for power and cooling systems are essential to support the high-performance, high-density computing environments that power generative AI.
These services support real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and dynamic optimization of energy and thermal performance. With the integration of Waylay's advanced technology, Vertiv is positioned to deliver these advanced capabilities at scale, helping customers meet the evolving demands of critical digital operations.
"With the addition of Waylay's technology and software-focused team, Vertiv will accelerate its vision of intelligent infrastructure — data-driven, proactive and optimized for the world's most demanding environments," said Vertiv CEO Giordano Albertazzi. "We are excited about the operational efficiencies and resiliency that Vertiv's augmented predictive capabilities can provide to our customers."
Founded in 2014, Waylay has developed an AI-powered hyperautomation software platform that enables workflow-based automation, system integration, and orchestration across a wide range of connected assets, enterprise applications, and cloud services.
Its capabilities include data analytics and orchestration scenarios that operate with unprecedented speed, significantly reducing the cost of product integration and deployment. The software can analyze machine data in real-time, identify operational trends, and propose predictive actions that minimize downtime and improve system performance.
