The industry is touting AI as a highly useful tool for data center operations. In this Webinar, Uptime executives discuss the most appropriate AI systems for data center controls and efficiency, along with what works best - and why.
Pressure to improve data center efficiency and sustainability is driving interest in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Several startups aim to deliver new capabilities in IT power management and cooling optimization.
Uptime Intelligence looks beyond the more obvious trends of 2024 and identifies some challenging issues. Strong IT demand, high-density IT systems and tough sustainability requirements will drive a new wave of investment.
As operators deploy cold plate and immersion cooling, the cost or operational efficiency benefits are bound to disappoint. DLC alone will not bring the breakthrough in energy or sustainability performance the industry needs.
Thermal trends in server silicon will challenge assumptions that underpin efficiency and sustainability expectations around DLC. Limited visibility of future server cooling requirements means operators can only make an educated guess.
DLC promises attractive thermal performance and economics, but data center operators looking to adopt it will need to examine how they define and uphold their resiliency standard as product designs and resiliency guidance evolve.
Recovery of data center waste heat is garnering renewed interest for its sustainability credentials. This report investigates these initiatives and looks at their impact both on efficiency and cost.
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.
This Q&A brings together contributor questions and expert answers relating to Uptime Institute Intelligence’s Five data center predictions for 2023 report.
Uptime Intelligence finds that operators and vendors face major delays in the supply of equipment, and are increasingly dissatisfied with their suppliers.
Data center operators and IT tenants have traditionally adopted a binary view of cooling performance: it either meets service level commitments, or it does not. The relationship is also coldly transactional: as long as sufficient volumes…
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…
Direct liquid cooling delivers operational savings and sustainability benefits. Most data center operators predict a substantial increase in adoption - and yet, concerns over the cost, leaks, and system failures persist.
A rapid rise in the concentration of processor thermal power will have far-reaching consequences, not only for servers but for facility design and operations.
Shifts in business expectations and technical requirements are moving data center operators towards direct liquid cooling. There are hurdles to overcome, but many in the industry expect this evolution to be just a matter of time.
