Can batteries transform how data centers power AI and connect to the grid? To do so, BESS technologies will need further economic and technical improvements to unlock faster interconnections, cleaner energy and smarter power control.
Traditional air gap security presents a barrier to applications requiring live IT-OT telemetry data. Rising interest in real-time monitoring and AI-driven operations requires a rethink of outdated, inflexible cybersecurity approaches.
A new generation of vendors is entering the market to offer prefabricated modular data centers — betting that surging demand for AI will give these facilities a competitive edge.
IT-OT equipment telemetry offers huge potential to improve visibility into live facility operations, but data exchange often fails because systems and protocols are incompatible.
On site fuel storage plays a critical role in maintaining data center resiliency. Following best practices will help operators extend the longevity of their on-site diesel stocks and avoid price increases.
While water cold plates continue to dominate current liquid-cooling adoption, the industry has also turned its attention to different approaches, with two-phase cold plates in particular becoming a promising alternative.
The topic of direct current (DC) power distribution in data centers is back, and this time it may be different.
Water treatment and chemicals giant Ecolab has agreed to pay $4.75 billion in cash for Canadian DLC specialist CoolIT. It is the latest sign of unabated demand for AI compute.
Even before data center operators move to higher voltages, rising power densities are increasing the risks faced by electricians.
Investment in large-scale AI has accelerated the development of electrical equipment, which creates opportunities for data center designers and operators to rethink power architectures.
Data from Uptime Intelligence's giant data center analysis indicates that proposed power capacity and investment tied to giant data centers and campuses are at unprecedented levels.North America represents 80% of all planned power identifed in 2025…
DLC was developed to handle high heat loads from densified IT. True mainstream DLC adoption remains elusive; it still awaits design refinements to address outstanding operational issues for mission-critical applications.
DLC introduces challenges at all levels of data center commissioning. Some end users accept CDUs without factory witness testing — a significant departure from the conventional commissioning script
Uptime Intelligence's predictions for 2025 are revisited and reassessed with the benefit of hindsight.
Meeting the stringent technical and commercial standards for UPS energy storage applications takes time and investment — during which Li-ion technology keeps evolving. With Natron gone, will ZincFive be able to take the opportunity?
