The 14th edition of the Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey highlights the experiences and strategies of data center owners and operators in the areas of resiliency, sustainability, efficiency, staffing, cloud and AI.
Air cooling’s third wind
This report discusses recent innovations in air cooling, such as advanced evaporative cooling methods, AI-driven facility management and cutting-edge server heat sinks.
Is this air cooling’s last gasp?
Alongside continued developments in liquid cooling, there are reports of air-cooled data centers that achieve standout levels of efficiency. Uptime explores the factors that combine to enable exceptional efficiency in air cooling.
Capacity planning for liquid-cooled data centers
It is becoming a near certainty that many facility operators will use direct liquid cooling within a few years. This raises a number of engineering questions, one of which is how to size coolant distribution units.
Air-assisted direct liquid cooling: an overlooked option
Air-assisted direct liquid cooling systems offer trade-offs that make them attractive to operators looking to address server cooling and rack density challenges — and are relatively easy to install and maintain.
