Real-time computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis is gradually nearing reality, with GPUs now capable of producing high-fidelity simulations in under 10 minutes. However, many operators may be skeptical about why this is necessary.
The Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey, now in its 15th year, is the most comprehensive and longest-running study of its kind. The findings in this report highlight the practices and experiences of data center owners and operators in the…

The 15th edition of the Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey highlights the experiences and strategies of data center owners and operators in the areas of resiliency, sustainability, efficiency, staffing, cloud and AI.
Investment in giant data centers and high-density AI infrastructure is driving a surge of interest in digital twins and AI-enabled simulations. However, experience in the field of computational fluid dynamics suggests obstacles lie ahead.
The terms "retail" and "wholesale" colocation not only describe different types of colocation customers, but also how providers price and package their products, and the extent to which customers can specify their requirements.
Serverless container services enable rapid, per-second scalability, which is ideal for AI inference. However, inconsistent and opaque pricing metrics hinder comparisons. This pricing tool compares the cost of services across providers.
Serverless container services enable rapid scalability, which is ideal for AI inference. However, inconsistent and opaque pricing metrics hinder comparisons. This report uses machine learning to derive clear guidance by means of decision trees.
Current geopolitical tensions are eroding some European organizations' confidence in the security of hyperscalers; however, moving away from them entirely is not practically feasible.
Direct liquid cooling challenges the common "line of demarcation" for responsibilities between facilities and IT teams. Operators lack a consensus on a single replacement model-and this fragmentation may persist for several years.
Although the share of processing handled by the corporate or enterprise sector has declined over the years, it has never disappeared. But there are signs that it may reclaim a more central role.
Tensions between team members of different ranks or departments can inhibit effective communication in a data center, putting uptime at risk. This can be avoided by adopting proven communication protocols from other mission-critical industries.
Nearly one in three operators report that their organization performs AI training and inference in early 2025. Although most operators plan to support AI in the future, current infrastructure strategies offer insight into how future deployments may…
In today's quickly evolving market, staying up to date on industry developments can be challenging. Join us for a deep dive on how transforming your operations can make your organization more resilient to evolving technologies, staffing, and…
How far can we go with air? Uptime experts discuss and answer questions on cooling strategies and debate the challenges and trade-offs with efficiency and costs.Please watch this latest entry in the Uptime Intelligence Client Webinar series. The…
Chinese large language model DeepSeek has shown that state of the art generative AI capability may be possible at a fraction of the cost previously thought.
