Uptime Intelligence is inviting interested parties to collaborate on an initiative to improve data sharing between co-hosting / colocation companies and IT operators in order to comply with regulations and meet sustainability goals.
Refrigerationβs history of progress is also a history of environmental concern. Whenever new refrigerants solve a problem, they create further crises down the line β and now history appears to be repeating itself.
The final EED delegated regulation was published on March 14, 2024. Data center operators have until September 15, 2024, to report the required information and key performance indicators to the EU database on data centres.
Data center operators face expanding information and key performance indicator reporting requirements. Standard accounting practices and data exchange processes will help enable the efficient exchange of information.
A lack of clarity surrounds the EED reporting timeline for data center operators. The directive mandates the public reporting of 14 items by May 15, 2024, but member states have yet to publish their reporting requirements.
The US Energy Information Administration has obtained an order requiring cryptocurrency mining operations to report their energy use. It is likely that traditional data centers will also be required to report energy consumption in 2024.
New EU legislation will raise recycling and reporting standards for batteries, regardless of chemistries. Although motivated by battery use in electric vehicles, the regulations also place obligations on data center operators.
In this Webinar, the Uptime Intelligence team looks beyond the obvious trends of 2024 and identifies some of the latest developments and their associated limitations.
Most of Europeβs Energy Efficient Directive (EED) requirements are set, but key issues remain. The draft EED delegated act, the last step to finalizing information and key performance indicators, is released for comments and revision.
Data center and IT managers face growing demand to publish comprehensive carbon inventory reports. But estimates for the carbon content embedded in IT equipment have questionable accuracy and usefulness in informing decisions.
Uptime Intelligence looks beyond the more obvious trends of 2024 and identifies some challenging issues. Strong IT demand, high-density IT systems and tough sustainability requirements will drive a new wave of investment.
The latest Uptime Intelligence research agenda includes a list all published and planned reports from January 2024 to October 2024, and is focused on Uptime Intelligence primary coverage areas: 1) power generation, distribution, energy storage; 2)β¦
As operators deploy cold plate and immersion cooling, the cost or operational efficiency benefits are bound to disappoint. DLC alone will not bring the breakthrough in energy or sustainability performance the industry needs.
This webinar explores the data management process improvements necessary to track and report work per energy performance to meet customer expectations and regulatory mandates.
New survey data allows Uptime Institute to look at industry power usage effectiveness (PUE) in finer detail. Comparing PUE by compute capacity shows that, on average, larger sites have lower PUEs.
