As new capacity is concentrated in super-sized data centers and legacy facilities continue to operate in large numbers, market trends become more difficult to read. This report looks at how size affects the age distribution of capacity.
Generative AI models brought about an influx of high-density cabinets. There has been much focus on how to best manage thermal issues, but the weight of power distribution equipment is a potentially overlooked concern.
Data center operators are already required to reduce their impact on the climate and soon they may have to do the same with local habitats. Emerging nature restoration rules will demand action to preserve ecosystems and biodiversity.
Underwater data centers promise to be both economical and sustainable. The prerequisite densification of infrastructure and unmanned operations may only suit specific workloads, but lessons learned under water may influence land facilities.
Bringing certain IT workloads closer to users and connected devices helps organizations to manage data growth, user experience and expansion. This report looks at the deployment models for data center facilities and IT at the edge.
Highly efficient, large-scale data centers are being provisioned faster and more cheaply than ever, enabling a rapid build-out of IT and cloud capacity. This Uptime Institute report focuses on best practices and best-in-class provisioning. Which…
IT security is a huge management concern that receives a lot of attention and budget. The battle to keep out intruders – and manage unwelcome activity from insiders - is not just virtual. This report discusses the tactics, processes, tools and…
The adoption of virtualization and software containers, and the use of public cloud have been in full swing for some time. What effect is this having on data center capacity and density? How should operators build this into their demand forecasting…
