Phaidra and Aligned Data Centers Partner to Empower Operations Teams and Strengthen Data Center Reliability with AI

Aligned Data Centers Deploys Phaidra Prism, Leveraging the NVIDIA DSX AI Factory Platform to Deliver AI-driven Insights that Empower Operators and Strengthen Data Center Reliability

SEATTLE, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Phaidra, the leading provider of AI agents for data center operations, today announced a partnership with Aligned Data Centers ("Aligned"), a leading developer and operator of ultra-efficient data centers for the world's most demanding workloads, to deploy its Prism platform across Aligned's data center portfolio. Prism equips Aligned's operations teams with facility-specific intelligence that accelerates response time, strengthens data center reliability, and supports the growing operational demands of next-generation digital infrastructure.

"As digital infrastructure becomes increasingly sophisticated and dynamic, our operational approach must also evolve. Aligned has built industry-leading infrastructure that can adapt to the demands of high-density computing, and together we're bringing that same adaptability to data center operations — helping teams run facilities with greater speed, efficiency, and reliability," said Jim Gao, CEO and Co-founder at Phaidra.

Phaidra Prism is a read-only intelligence layer that is purpose-built for data center operations. The platform continuously analyzes telemetry from building management systems (BMS), electrical power monitoring systems (EPMS), and other infrastructure systems alongside operational documentation to identify early-stage irregularities, accelerate root cause analysis, and deliver contextual guidance through a natural language interface.

"Data center environments are more dynamic and advanced than ever before. To meet this moment, we owe it to our operators to put the best tools in their hands," says Michael Welch, CTO of Aligned Data Centers. "Assistive intelligence systems like Phaidra Prism don't replace our teams' expertise - they amplify it, surfacing critical context in real time so our operators can act with greater speed and precision. Beyond daily operations, this technology adds tremendous value by streamlining new capacity commissioning and elevating quality assurance across our portfolio. Ultimately, this partnership is an investment in our people as much as our infrastructure."

As digital infrastructure continues to scale, data center operators are supporting increasingly dense and dynamic workloads that create more complex interactions across compute, power, cooling, and networking systems. Traditional monitoring tools were designed to surface raw data, not provide context. To navigate these advanced environments and maintain reliable performance, operators must quickly prioritize operational needs and access the key insights required for rapid decision-making.

Phaidra has integrated NVIDIA DSX Exchange, part of NVIDIA DSX OS, into Phaidra Prism. Prism uses DSX Exchange as a common data layer to bring together information across mechanical, electrical, power, cooling, and IT systems, providing operators with a unified view of data center infrastructure through a conversational interface.

The partnership reflects Aligned's continued investment in technologies that enhance operational excellence across its data center portfolio. Together, Phaidra and Aligned are advancing a new approach to AI-assisted operations, combining real-time intelligence with human expertise to help teams manage increasingly dynamic infrastructure with greater speed, confidence, and reliability.
