Powerful solar storms have already brought warnings of disruption to electricity grids and their customers twice in 2024 — and the Sun’s activity has yet to peak. Why do data centers and power utilities appear to have escaped unscathed?
Raising supply air temperature is drawing interest from data center providers and regulators in some countries. While saving energy, it may also reduce resiliency. This report quantifies energy impacts to clarify when it can be beneficial.
The UK has become the latest nation to classify data centers as part of the critical national infrastructure. But for data center operators, is this a welcome move?
Policies and procedures translate cybersecurity management objectives into the activities that protect data centers. But what steps should operators take to establish a comprehensive approach to implement these policies?
Data center outage recovery processes often overlook integrated cybersecurity systems. Power outages can disrupt these systems and prevent operators from accessing critical platforms.
Software updates by third-party IT providers occur every day, either in the cloud or on-premises. The recent global IT outage has exposed a hard truth: that another major event is likely to occur.
The data center industry's largest and most influential survey results are in! Join us as we discuss the 14th Annual Uptime Global Data Center Survey 2024 which reveals an industry that is expanding, and is also planning for major technological,…
Uptime Institute's 2nd edition of the Data Center Security Survey (n=927) explores important data center cybersecurity issues, as well as the information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) used to run data centers.The attached data…
Sometime after 2026, the EU is expected to adopt an upcoming version of CENELEC’s TS 50600-5-1 Maturity Model to assess data center sustainability. The current technical specification has some controversial elements.
Organizations develop strict security policies and practices to reduce exposure to cyberattacks. An ineffective policy only increases the cyber risk both to the data center and across IT in general.
Operators of data centers in the UK have voiced concerns over the proposed resiliency and cybersecurity regulations that are aimed specifically at providers of colocation and “co-hosting” services.
Uptime Institute's 2024 Data Center Resiliency Survey (n=919) focuses on data center resiliency issues and the impact of outages on the data center sector.The attached data files below provide full results of the survey, including data cuts based on…
Results from the Uptime Institute Data Center Security Survey 2023 highlight the strategies used by organizations to prevent and respond to cyber-threats.
Regulatory concerns over security, resiliency and energy use have led to a wave of new and updated requirements for data centers. Organizations are beginning to invest more to achieve compliance.
With ever-increasing critical digital workloads being processed and stored by third parties, regulators are extending their oversight to reach deeper into the digital supply chain in the financial system.
