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.
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…
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.
