A new framework from the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) creates a classification system for data center demand response capabilities to help promote grid flexibility and, in turn, support the continued growth of digital infrastructure.
Internal efforts to maximize token use, combined with changes in LLM pricing structures, have rapidly increased enterprise AI spending. Yet there is often limited visibility into whether such expenditures are creating value.
Vendors and consultants expect broad and rapid adoption of AI in data center management, but they may be overestimating operators' appetite for change.
Traditional air gap security presents a barrier to applications requiring live IT-OT telemetry data. Rising interest in real-time monitoring and AI-driven operations requires a rethink of outdated, inflexible cybersecurity approaches.
The early years of scale DLC deployment came with complexities in system design, coolant chemistry, resiliency design and maintenance practices. Operator experiences suggest consensus is beginning to form, if imperfectly.
New flagship AMD and Intel servers with high core counts push performance boundaries while improving efficiencies. This report breaks down and visualizes improvements based on an analysis of SERT data.
As US state legislatures face difficulties passing local bans on data centers, opponents are increasingly turning to new regulatory approaches. Data center operators will need to navigate this fragmented policy landscape to stay ahead of compliance.
A new generation of vendors is entering the market to offer prefabricated modular data centers — betting that surging demand for AI will give these facilities a competitive edge.
The 16th 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. The attached data files…
IT-OT equipment telemetry offers huge potential to improve visibility into live facility operations, but data exchange often fails because systems and protocols are incompatible.
On site fuel storage plays a critical role in maintaining data center resiliency. Following best practices will help operators extend the longevity of their on-site diesel stocks and avoid price increases.
Results from Uptime Institute's 2026 Data Center Resiliency Survey (n=1,035) focus on data center resiliency issues and the impact of outages on the data center sector globally.The attached data files below provide full results of the survey,…
Although media coverage suggests data center buildout is accelerating, recent announcements and construction data paint a different picture — and suggest momentum may be slowing.
PUE measures facility energy overhead relative to IT load, but it does not show how much of a site's provisioned power envelope ultimately reaches IT. Power and compute effectiveness (PCE) introduces a metric that makes this allocation visible.
Uptime Intelligence analysis shows that minimum thresholds for IT power utilization misrepresents server work capacity utilization. These thresholds can unintentionally incentivize operators to disable server energy efficiency features.
