Direct liquid cooling shows promise, but challenges persist
The Uptime Institute Cooling Systems Survey 2023 collects data on experiences with Direct Liquid Cooling from data center operators, as well as their objectives and concerns.
Accurate timekeeping in data centers: a resiliency review
Precision time systems to synchronize IT system clocks over the network have proliferated and evolved to meet the needs of reliable, secure applications.
Data center operators will face more grid disturbances
The energy crisis of 2022, resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, caused serious problems for data center operators in Europe. Energy prices leapt up and are likely to stay high. This has resulted in ongoing concerns that utilities in some…
Forecasting the solar storm threat
A proposed permanent network of electromagnetic monitoring stations across the continental US, operating in tandem with a machine learning (ML) algorithm, could facilitate accurate predictions of geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs). If realized, this…
REPLAY | Webinar: Five Data Center Predictions for 2023
Prolonged supply chain difficulties, high energy prices, and sweeping sustainability mandates — the digital infrastructure sector had its plate full in a tumultuous 2022. But new uncertainties abound that add more risk to operations and business…
Too hot to handle? Operators to struggle with new chips
Standard IT hardware was a boon for data centers: for almost two decades, mainstream servers have had relatively constant power and cooling requirements. This technical stability moored the planning and design of facilities (for both new builds and…
Five data center predictions for 2023
Uptime Institute Intelligence looks beyond some of the more obvious trends of 2023 — that the sector continues to expand and innovate while facing stricter regulatory requirements — and identifies some challenging issues.
Data centers weather solar storms
The US Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) issued multiple geomagnetic storm watches throughout August and September 2022. Geomagnetic storms occur when solar storms interact with the Earth’s atmosphere and magnetic field, risking disruption to…
Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey 2022
The Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey is the most comprehensive of its kind. The findings reveal the experiences of data center operators in the areas of performance, resiliency, efficiency and sustainability.
Electromagnetic pulse and its threat to data centers
To date, many data center operators have overlooked electromagnetic pulse (EMP) in their risk assessments. This report summarizes the types and effects of EMP, and offers recommendations to assist operators in assessing this risk.
