Key findings from the Uptime Institute Edge Data Center Survey 2023 reveal how edge is becoming more important in hybrid infrastructure strategies.
As part of the Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey 2023, data center equipment vendors and consultants were asked about customer spending, supply chains and DCIM adoption. This report highlights the key findings.
The Uptime Institute Cooling Systems Survey 2023 collects data on experiences with Direct Liquid Cooling from data center operators, as well as their objectives and concerns.
The Uptime Institute Data Center Resiliency Survey 2023 explores how operators assess operational risks and highlights opportunities for strengthening mitigation strategies.
Operators report that their sustainability initiatives not only benefit the environment — they also reduce operating costs and improve customer engagement. Sustainability strategies, however, vary widely.
Uptime Intelligence finds that operators and vendors face major delays in the supply of equipment, and are increasingly dissatisfied with their suppliers.
Data center capacities continued to grow for colocation and enterprise facilities throughout 2022. Operators appear to be more aware of costs as they look to increase server power densities and reduce energy use.
Results from Uptime Institute’s Data Center and IT Spending Survey 2022 reveal how enterprise operators and colocation providers are adapting their spending strategies to meet the growing demand for digital services.
Rack power density is a key metric that informs engineers in making design choices for data centers. This data report tracks changes in power densities since 2018, showing a trend towards greater server and rack power.
Direct liquid cooling delivers operational savings and sustainability benefits. Most data center operators predict a substantial increase in adoption - and yet, concerns over the cost, leaks, and system failures persist.
Reduced latency and bandwidth are top drivers for edge data centers, with the internet of things and artificial intelligence being the most important applications.
The findings of this survey suggest that data center operators are attentive to the growing risks from climate change and extreme weather events.
Air cooling dominates the modern data center, and in defiance of forecasts, direct liquid cooling (DLC) remains a niche technology. If DLC overcomes barriers to adoption, when can we expect it to overtake air cooling?
The COVID-19 pandemic stressed the supply chain for data center equipment and construction. Many expect shortages to persist, driven by the ongoing pandemic and additional challenges.
