While the politicians argue, stakeholders in the US have been scouring the IRA’s 274 pages for opportunities to capitalize on these lucrative incentives. Some of these will be substantial.
Digital Infrastructure Managers are facing demands from stakeholders and regulators to account for Scope 3 emissions, absent any consensus on reporting standards. This webinar will explore the practical realities and challenges of assessing, managing...
Data centers have become victims of their own success. Ever-larger data centers have mushroomed across the globe in line with an apparently insatiable demand for computing and storage capacity. The associated energy use is not only expensive (and gen...
The past year (2022) has seen regulators in many countries develop or mandate requirements to report data centers’ operating information and environmental performance metrics. The first of these, the European Commission's (EC's) Energy Efficiency Dir...
This report analyzes how colocation companies are improving sustainability through innovative approaches to cooling infrastructure, energy efficiency, renewable energy procurement, construction and more.
Many digital infrastructure operators have set themselves carbon-neutral or net-zero emissions goals: some large hyperscale operators claim net-zero emissions for their current operating year. Signatories to the Climate Neutral Data Center Pact, a Eu...
Siting colocation data centers in central business districts can have real advantages. So why does it happen so rarely? This report, based on interviews with providers, examines the operational challenges, and solutions for overcoming them.
Cloud providers advise users to build application resiliency by deploying across multiple locations. This report quantifies the emissions, resiliency and costs of different stateless cloud-application architectures.
Direct liquid cooling delivers operational savings and sustainability benefits. Most data center operators predict a substantial increase in adoption - and yet, concerns over the cost, leaks, and system failures persist.
The European Commission’s (EC’s) proposed recast of its Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) sets out new and strict reporting requirements for data centers operating in the EU. If passed, data centers with 100 kilowatts or more total installed IT power...
The Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey is the most comprehensive of its kind. The findings reveal the experiences of data center operators in the areas of performance, resiliency, efficiency and sustainability.
The thousands of gallons of diesel that data centers store on-site to fuel backup generators in the event of a grid outage are hard to ignore — and do little to assist operators’ drive toward tougher sustainability goals. In the past two years, an al...
The value, role and safety of nuclear power has strongly divided opinion, both in favor of and against, since the 1950s. This debate has now, in 2022, reached a critical point again as energy security and prices cause increasing concern globally (par...
The European Commission’s proposed recast of its Energy Efficiency Directive promises to transform how operators manage and report energy performance and sustainability in Europe.
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.
