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.
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…
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…
Capacities continue to grow for both enterprises and colocation providers, with colocation companies expanding more rapidly. Growth in general-purpose IT remains the single greatest driver of rising data center demand overall, but the need to…
Results from Uptime Institute's 2025 AI Infrastructure Survey (n=1,062) focus on the data center infrastructure currently used or being planned to use to host AI Training and AI Inference, as well as future industry outlooks on the usage of AI. The…
Agentic AI offers enormous potential to the data center industry over the next decade. But are the benefits worth the inevitable risks?
Dedicated AI infrastructure helps ensure data is controlled, compliant and secure, while models remain accurate and differentiated. However, this reassurance comes at a cost that may not be justified compared with cheaper options.
Data center infrastructure management software is widely used but rarely utilized at full potential. Adopting the latest capabilities and optimizations could achieve better resiliency and efficiency.
Uptime Intelligence surveys the data center industry landscape to look deeper at what can actually happen in 2025 and beyond based on the latest trends and developments. The stronghold that AI has on the industry is a constant discussion - but how…
Uptime Intelligence looks beyond the more obvious trends of 2025 and examines some of the latest developments and challenges shaping the data center industry.
Cloud providers need to win AI use cases in their early stages of development. If they fail to attract customers, their AI applications may be locked-in to rival platforms and harder to move, which can have serious repercussions.
In this inaugural Uptime Intelligence client webinar, Uptime experts discuss and answer questions on cooling technologies and strategies to address AI workloads. Uptime Intelligence client webinars are only available for Uptime Intelligence…
Not all generative AI applications will require large and dense infrastructure footprints. This complicates AI power consumption projections and data center planning.
