Without the active contribution from IT, data center infrastructure energy performance and sustainability will fall short of aspirations. Server power management features remain unexplored and underused by most efficiency initiatives.
Operators are missing opportunities to lower costs and energy use by not using utilization and power management data, an Uptime Intelligence survey on IT and power efficiency suggests.
Data center and IT managers face growing demand to publish comprehensive carbon inventory reports. But estimates for the carbon content embedded in IT equipment have questionable accuracy and usefulness in informing decisions.
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.
Results from the Uptime Institute IT and Power Efficiency Survey 2023 suggest that many organizations may struggle to meet regulatory requirements for energy, carbon and IT life cycle tracking.
Despite high expectations, most operators will only see moderate impact from specialized AI hardware installations in the immediate future. The emergence of AI as a major force will sway the industry in a more profound, but less direct, fashion.
Improving data center infrastructure energy efficiency is vital in helping organizations contain costs and carbon emissions that result from IT growth. This report compares seven projects using a data- and experience-based model.
Uptime has delivered assessments of data center operations for over a decade. In this session, we present what we've learned and how those lessons can be applied to stabilize your organization in the face of climate and macroeconomic challenges.
The main payoff is clear: power management’s impact on performance is demonstrably low, and in most cases, customers will probably not notice that it is turned on. Even at higher points of utilization, the impact on performance is minimal.
IT efficiency can offer the keys to unlocking a more sustainable, efficient, and reliable data center. This session provides quantified examples of improvements in business and environmental performance.
Precision time systems to synchronize IT system clocks over the network have proliferated and evolved to meet the needs of reliable, secure applications.
To help address the growing scrutiny of digital infrastructure efficiency, this webinar explores some of the options available to communicate IT system efficiency and work delivered per unit of energy consumed.
Rack power density is a key metric that informs engineers in making design choices for data centers. This data report tracks changes in power densities since 2018, showing a trend towards greater server and rack power.
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.
Data center operators can combine existing reliability, resiliency and performance metrics with freshly minted sustainability benchmarks to convey a compelling IT system efficiency message.
