New EU legislation will raise recycling and reporting standards for batteries, regardless of chemistries. Although motivated by battery use in electric vehicles, the regulations also place obligations on data center operators.
The EU Code of Conduct on Data Centre Energy Efficiency started out as a voluntary initiative but is increasingly being applied as a standard. This report describes the codeβs technical contents and assessment process.
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.
Data center and IT managers face growing demand to publish comprehensive carbon inventory reports. But estimates for the carbon content embedded in IT equipment have questionable accuracy and usefulness in informing decisions.
This webinar explores the data management process improvements necessary to track and report work per energy performance to meet customer expectations and regulatory mandates.
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.
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.
Regulatory concerns over security, resiliency and energy use have led to a wave of new and updated requirements for data centers. Organizations are beginning to invest more to achieve compliance.
With ever-increasing critical digital workloads being processed and stored by third parties, regulators are extending their oversight to reach deeper into the digital supply chain in the financial system.
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.
With governments now aware that economic stability and national well-being are heavily dependent on IT services and the critical digital infrastructure, many are regulating to strengthen digital security and resiliency.
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.
