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 management’s 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.
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.
The European Union Parliament and commission have agreed on the final Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) data center requirements. What does this mean for operators with a presence in the EU and what does it foretell for global data center regulation?
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 a...
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.
Operators report that their sustainability initiatives not only benefit the environment — 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 discusses the issues surrounding the improvement of IT system efficiency, including equipment definitions and efficiency, power management and systems-level software to optimize equipment utilization levels.
More data center operators are establishing 7x24 goals for clean energy consumption, an approach that is consistent with Uptime Intelligence recommendations on clean energy procurement and goals. This webinar assesses the limits of a 7x24 commitment ...
