The EU is introducing a raft of new financial and technical sustainability laws in the coming years. These laws will increase the regulatory reporting burden on owners, operators and users of European data centers.
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.
This Q&A brings together questions and answers on the EU’s Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) and its implications globally. Topics covered include reporting, efficiency, heat reuse, ISO standards, carbon capture and transparency.
Uptime Intelligence has been providing regular updates and insights on the efforts of the European Parliament and European Commission (EC) to finalize the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) recast requirements. The directive is the most radical and…
The European Union Parliament and commission have agreed on the final Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) data center requirements. What does this mean for operators with a presence in the EU and what does it foretell for global data center regulation?
Digital infrastructure operators have started to refocus their sustainability objectives on 100% 24x7 carbon-free energy (CFE) consumption: using carbon-free energy for every hour of operation. To establish a 24x7 CFE strategy, operators must track…
Data center operators that set net-zero goals will ultimately have to transition to 100% 24x7 carbon-free energy. But current technological limitations mean it is not economically feasible in most grid regions.In the past decade, the digital…
This report analyzes server data from The Green Grid’s Server Efficiency Rating Tool (SERT) database and provides quantitative guidance to help enterprises estimate their server energy saving potential.
This Q&A brings together contributor questions and expert answers relating to Uptime Institute Intelligence’s Five data center predictions for 2023 report.
Early in 2022, Uptime Intelligence observed that the return of Moore’s law in the data center (or, more accurately, the performance and energy efficiency gains associated with it) would come with major caveats (see Moore’s law resumes — but not for…
Operators report that their sustainability initiatives not only benefit the environment — they also reduce operating costs and improve customer engagement. Sustainability strategies, however, vary widely.
This Q&A brings together contributor/member questions and expert answers from a series of Uptime webinars held on the topic of sustainability and regulations and reporting in 2022.
Topics discussed include: the collection and management of greenhouse gas emissions data, the options for dealing with Scope 3 emissions and the procurement and reporting of renewable energy for both direct consumption and as offsets.
This Q&A brings together contributor / member questions and expert answers resulting from the Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey 2022. Topics discussed include: IT efficiency, sustainability, outages, supply chain issues and staffing.…
For the past two years, Uptime has been tracking the progress of what is likely to be the most important legislation yet for data center sustainability and efficiency reporting. The European Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) will affect all but the…
