AI-Driven Predictive Scaling for Energy-Efficient Infrastructure.
Reduce data center energy costs by 15–30% through intelligent predictive scaling.

The Problem

Data centers waste billions in energy every year. The AI boom is making it worse.

~30%

of data center energy is wasted

  • Zombie workloads running with no real purpose
  • Static resource allocation that doesn't adapt to actual load
  • Observability systems scraping constantly — even when nothing happens
Grid Stress

AI boom is overloading energy grids

  • Single AI training run: hundreds of megawatts
  • Grid operators can't predict data center load
  • Emergency peak power is expensive & dirty

The Solution

AI-driven predictive scaling that reduces energy consumption by 15–30%.

15–30%

OPEX reduction through predictive scaling

🔮

Predictive

Forecast workload stability before problems occur. Not reactive autoscaling — proactive optimization.

🔧

Tool-Agnostic

Works across Kubernetes, Slurm, MPI, OpenStack, Terraform. No vendor lock-in.

Energy-Aware

Minimizes monitoring overhead while maintaining SRE visibility. Kepler-validated energy savings.

Core: eBPF + Kepler telemetry · LightGBM models · ~4ms inference · Model-Predictive Control

The Vision: Grid-SaaS

From data center optimization to energy utility intelligence.

Phase 1 — B2B

Data Center Optimization

Data centers reduce their energy costs by 15–30% through intelligent predictive scaling.

Phase 2 — B2B2B

Grid-SaaS for Energy Utilities

Energy utilities predict data center load to manage grid congestion caused by the AI boom.

"Our customer is no longer just the data center trying to save power. Our customer is the energy utility provider. We sell them predictive load forecasting to manage grid congestion caused by the AI boom."
