Digital twins are increasingly valued in complex data center applications, such as designing and managing facilities for AI infrastructure. Digitally testing and simulating scenarios can reduce risk and cost, but many challenges remain.
Chinese large language model DeepSeek has shown that state of the art generative AI capability may be possible at a fraction of the cost previously thought.
Agentic AI offers enormous potential to the data center industry over the next decade. But are the benefits worth the inevitable risks?
Operators and investors are planning to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on supersized sites and vast supporting infrastructures. However, increasing constraints and uncertainties will limit the scale of these build outs.
Data center infrastructure management software is widely used but rarely utilized at full potential. Adopting the latest capabilities and optimizations could achieve better resiliency and efficiency.
The EU’s NIS 2 directive requires all organizations operating in Europe to comply with 10 essential cybersecurity measures, but many data center operators remain unprepared.
As operators expand their use of hybrid IT and cloud, optimizing the IT could help alleviate concerns over availability and efficiency. This report is part two of a four-part series on data center management software.
The number of proposals for new hyperscale-size data centers have reached new heights in 2024. Those that are built will require huge investment and resources — but many proposals will fail to move forward.
Software for data center management and control is well established, if not always widely used. Some operators are also benefitting from integrated facility and IT software.
Uptime analysis suggests a growing interest in public cloud by financial institutions. But concerns over cloud providers’ support for regulation compliance ahead of the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act may cause some to pull back.
Pulling reliable power consumption data from IT is increasingly important for operators. Although third-party software products offer promise, significant roadblocks still hinder adoption.
Software updates by third-party IT providers occur every day, either in the cloud or on-premises. The recent global IT outage has exposed a hard truth: that another major event is likely to occur.
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.
Many data centers struggle to achieve maximum capacity and optimal cooling, resulting in troublesome hot spots. Advances in cooling optimization software have addressed this complexity and could be the answer.
