To meet the demand driven by AI workloads, a new breed of cloud provider has emerged, delivering inexpensive GPU infrastructure as a service. Their services are highly demanded today, but longer-term, the market is ripe for consolidation.
While GPUs are the power-hungry devices that enable effective AI training, it is innovations in software that are fueling the recent surge in interest and investment. This report explains how neural networks power generative AI.
Although quantum computing promises a revolution in scientific discovery, its use is still constrained to research and continuing development. However, a new IBM quantum data center in Germany signals a growing interest in its capabilities.
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.

Avoiding digital infrastructure failures remains paramount for data center owners and operators. This report analyzes recent Uptime Institute data on IT and data center outage trends: their causes, costs and consequences.
Cloud-related outages pose a serious financial risk to operators of mission-critical digital infrastructure. And a rising number of high-cost outages suggests that insurers may have a role to play.
The Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey 2023 provided insights and site data from owners and operators globally. The findings from North America reveal key differences in the areas of staffing, energy, cloud and AI.
Reserved instances are a pricing model for virtual machines offered by cloud providers. As they offer savings of up to 70% compared with on-demand pricing, organizations should use them liberally, especially in challenging times.
Key findings from the Uptime Institute Edge Data Center Survey 2023 reveal how edge is becoming more important in hybrid infrastructure strategies.
The Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey highlights the experiences and strategies of data center owners and operators in areas of resiliency, sustainability, efficiency, staffing, cloud and innovative technologies.
Organizations encounter a bewildering assortment of cloud storage platforms. The difference between the offerings lies in who is responsible for scaling, resiliency and performance: the provider or the customer.
Low latency is the main reason cloud providers offer edge services. Only a few years ago, the same providers argued that the public cloud (hosted in hyperscale data centers) was suitable for most workloads. But as organizations have remained steadfas...
