Industry average PUE has not improved consistently for some years now, according to Uptime Instituteβs annual survey. However, the headline number may be masking underlying dynamics of meaningful improvements.
As part of the Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey 2023, data center equipment vendors and consultants were asked about customer spending, supply chains and DCIM adoption. This report highlights the key findings.
Recent publication of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive Task B and C reports clarify most of the data reporting requirements and set out the preferred policy options for assessing data center energy performance.
The data center industry's largest and most influential survey results are in! Join us as we discuss the 13th Annual Uptime Global Data Center Survey 2023 which reveals an industry that is growing, dynamic and increasingly resilient.
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.
This Q&A brings together questions and answers on the EUβs 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 andβ¦
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 trackβ¦
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 digitalβ¦
This report analyzes server data from The Green Gridβs 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 Intelligenceβs Five data center predictions for 2023 report.
Early in 2022, Uptime Intelligence observed that the return of Mooreβs law in the data center (or, more accurately, the performance and energy efficiency gains associated with it) would come with major caveats (see Mooreβs law resumes β but not forβ¦
Operators report that their sustainability initiatives not only benefit the environment β they also reduce operating costs and improve customer engagement. Sustainability strategies, however, vary widely.
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.β¦
