Many data centers struggle to achieve maximum capacity and optimal cooling, resulting in troublesome hot spots. Advances in cooling optimization software have addressed this complexity and could be the answer.
Uptime Institute's 2nd edition of the Data Center Security Survey (n=927) explores important data center cybersecurity issues, as well as the information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) used to run data centers.The attached data files...
Data center managers are squeezed between complexity arising from digital innovation and the need for secure and reliable service delivery. Is it possible to minimize risk while enabling business innovation?
Uptime Institute's 2024 Data Center Maintenance Survey benchmarks maintenance practices among data center operators and sets to help organizations improve performance when it comes to maintenance utilizing in-house employees, third-parties, and/or eq...
This report outlines the characteristics of machine learning (ML) applications, describes production use cases for ML-based software in data center M&O, and profiles several vendors offering AI-based functionality in their products.
Preliminary calculations by Uptime Intelligence suggest the initial impact of generative AI on global data center power use is low — but it will rise quickly as adoption increases. How far generative AI will go remains unclear.
The industry is touting AI as a highly useful tool for data center operations. In this Webinar, Uptime executives discuss the most appropriate AI systems for data center controls and efficiency, along with what works best - and why.
Findings from the latest Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey show for the first time that the proportion of IT workloads hosted in on-premises data centers now represents slightly less than half of the total enterprise footprint.
Unpredictable costs and “bill shocks” are a growing problem for organizations running their applications and workloads in the public cloud. FinOps could help enterprises analyze, report and optimize cloud and other IT costs.
The Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey 2023 shows that trust in artificial intelligence as a tool capable of making operational decisions has fallen sharply year on year. What is causing this reaction?
Uptime has delivered assessments of data center operations for over a decade. In this session, we present what we've learned and how those lessons can be applied to stabilize your organization in the face of climate and macroeconomic challenges.
The key benefit of cloud computing lies in its on-demand pricing model. This enables organizations to grow or shrink their applications at will without giving the cloud provider any advance notification. Cloud providers can only offer such flexibilit...
The suitability of a data center environment is primarily judged by its effect on the long-term health of IT hardware. Facility operators define their temperature and humidity set points with a view to balancing hardware failure rates against the ass...
IT efficiency can offer the keys to unlocking a more sustainable, efficient, and reliable data center. This session provides quantified examples of improvements in business and environmental performance.
The testing of backup power systems is crucial for ensuring that data center operations remain available through power interruptions. By cutting all power to the facility and replicating a real-world electrical grid failure, pull-the-plug testing pro...
