The ERA Project
The ERA project, which stands for “Explore, Redesign, Accelerate: Artificial Intelligence and Automation Solutions for Reducing Emissions in Data Centers and Optimizing IT Operations” is an ambitious initiative aimed at reducing the energy consumption and environmental impact of IT infrastructures, particularly data centers, through the integration of advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies.
The initiative focuses on creating an integrated system capable of monitoring, analyzing, and optimizing the energy efficiency of IT infrastructures. The project will Explore IT infrastructures, workloads, and data center energy consumption to identify inefficiencies and establish a solid baseline. Redesign software, applications and IT configurations through automation and Artificial Intelligence to enhance performance and sustainability. Accelerate the transition towards smarter, energy-efficient, and environmentally sustainable data centers.
ERA promotes collaboration between universities, research centers, and companies in Lombardy to create innovative tools for sustainable IT operations.
Objectives
O1 Analysis and Monitoring
Study and analysis of energy consumption and operational parameters across data centers, identifying key variables that influence efficiency (CPU load, traffic, temperature, and hardware performance).
O2 Reverse Engineering and AI
Development of intelligent systems for analyzing and optimizing existing software through Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, reducing computational loads and resource usage.
O2 Reverse Engineering and AI
Implementation of predictive models and simulation tools to optimize resource allocation and improve operational efficiency within server farms and IT infrastructures.
O4 Software Refactoring
Redesign and optimization of software architectures to enhance scalability, performance, and sustainability, enabling automated and energy-efficient computing processes.
O5 Validation and Testing
Validation of the developed solutions through experiments and pilot implementations in simulated and real-world environments, collecting feedback for continuous improvement.
Project Partners
ERA brings together universities, companies, and research centers across Lombardy, combining expertise in AI, automation, and energy sustainability.
