Vertiv Holdings said Tuesday it has acquired Waylay NV, a Belgium-based software maker, as the company eyes using generative artificial-intelligence to manage its power and cooling systems. Vertiv which makes power and cooling solutions for data centers, said it would integrate Waylay’s AI-powered software to support the monitoring and optimization of its data-center systems. In their view, the acquisition “highlights a wider paradigm shift” within the market for Vertiv and peers.
