This summary of the 2025 predictions highlights the growing concerns and opportunities around AI for data centers.
Dedicated GPU infrastructure can beat the public cloud on cost. Companies considering purchasing an AI cluster need to consider utilization as the key variable in their calculations.
Uptime Intelligence looks beyond the more obvious trends of 2025 and examines some of the latest developments and challenges shaping the data center industry.
As a quick reference, we have provided links below to all the research reports published by Uptime Intelligence in 2024, by month. Research areas focused on 1) power generation, distribution, energy storage; 2) data center management software; 3)…
Cloud providers need to win AI use cases in their early stages of development. If they fail to attract customers, their AI applications may be locked-in to rival platforms and harder to move, which can have serious repercussions.
Enterprises have much enthusiasm for AI, interviews and workshops by Uptime Intelligence suggest, but this is tempered by caution. Most hope to avoid disruptive, expensive or careless investments.
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.
