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.
This series of Uptime Intelligence reports guides managers and responsible operators through the complex set of issues involved in creating an environmental sustainability strategy for data centers and associated digital infrastructure.
In this report, Uptime Institute Intelligence looks beyond the obvious trends for 2022 and identifies some potentially challenging issues. These include sustainability reporting, supply chain problems and cloud concentration risk.
The best-run data centers are those where managers have access to meaningful information about their facility’s assets and operational status. This report details the questions they need to ask when purchasing DCIM software.
