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.
The thresholds set by Germany’s Energy Efficiency Act could make many legacy enterprise data centers obsolete — or else require operators to upgrade or move to compliant facilities
This report explains the nuances of using energy consumption, energy attribute certificates and emissions factor data to calculate the use of renewable energy and carbon-free energy, and a Scope 1 and 2 emissions inventory.
The final publication of the approved EED means that data center operators will need to undertake internal efforts to comply with energy management system and data reporting requirements.
Executives in many industries have been bold with their sustainability claims, setting ambitious net-zero goals and heralding minor successes. For digital infrastructure, as elsewhere, a painful and expensive correction is coming.
Recovery of data center waste heat is garnering renewed interest for its sustainability credentials. This report investigates these initiatives and looks at their impact both on efficiency and cost.
Attitudes to critical infrastructure regulation vary across the world, with the regulators and the regulated mostly agreeing about the goal, role and application of new rules. The US, however, remains an outlier.
Few operators compile and report the primary operational data needed to create effective sustainability programs and fulfill regulatory requirements, Uptime research suggests.
This Q&A brings together questions and answers from a webinar on the transactions per megawatt hour metric. Topics include power management, server refresh and sustainability, GHG emissions, IT metrics and utilization rates.
This session covers common digital infrastructure sustainability myths, misunderstandings, and poorly understood areas, and provides advise on building better sustainability strategies.
Industry average PUE has not improved consistently for some years now, according to Uptime Institute’s 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.
