Goals for achieving net-zero emissions by 2030 are being extended, according to Uptime Institute survey data. This is likely driven by stricter reporting requirements, rising costs and limited availability of carbon-free energy.
Adoption of direct liquid cooling (DLC) continues to grow slowly, according to recent Uptime research. However, more operators are considering it for future use due to mounting thermal management and sustainability challenges.
This report captures some findings from the Uptime Institute Sustainability and Climate Change Survey 2023, including that more than half of operators are still to set a net-zero emissions goal and less than half compile key metrics.
Uptime Institute draws lessons from global outages data for 2024's annual benchmark review of the impacts, costs and changing types and frequency of crucial infrastructure failures.
Avoiding digital infrastructure failures remains paramount for data center owners and operators. This report analyzes recent Uptime Institute data on IT and data center outage trends: their causes, costs and consequences.
Data center capacities are expanding rapidly, and organizations are increasingly using hybrid IT to meet rising demand. However, the growing complexity of IT environments is exposing limitations to current approaches.
Data center budgets are expected to increase in 2024 for most organizations, but ongoing supply chain issues and staffing challenges may restrict investments, according to recent Uptime Intelligence survey data.
