Germanyβs Energy Efficiency Act makes a PUE of 1.2 mandatory for all new data centers starting in 2026. This has reignited a debate: can a data center be both highly available and highly efficient?
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.
Results from the Uptime Institute IT and Power Efficiency Survey 2023 suggest that many organizations may struggle to meet regulatory requirements for energy, carbon and IT life cycle tracking.
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.
This session evaluates the methodologies to account for emissions from IT operations in cloud and colocation facilities and embedded carbon in IT equipment purchases, and discusses their management as part of a net zero program.
Gigantic βgigawattβ data center campuses are being proposed or planned in many locations around the world. They could change the digital infrastructure landscape, but many questions β including how many will be built β remain.
The Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey 2023 provided insights and site data from owners and operators globally. The findings from North America reveal key differences in the areas of staffing, energy, cloud and AI.
Over the next decade, digital infrastructure operations will need to comply with an emerging set of regulatory requirements. Managers can smooth the path to compliance by focusing on business processes and data collection.
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.
Improving data center infrastructure energy efficiency is vital in helping organizations contain costs and carbon emissions that result from IT growth. This report compares seven projects using a data- and experience-based model.
The main payoff is clear: power managementβs impact on performance is demonstrably low, and in most cases, customers will probably not notice that it is turned on. Even at higher points of utilization, the impact on performance is minimal.
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.
The Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey highlights the experiences and strategies of data center owners and operators in areas of resiliency, sustainability, efficiency, staffing, cloud and innovative technologies.
