Reduced latency and bandwidth are top drivers for edge data centers, with the internet of things and artificial intelligence being the most important applications.
Direct liquid cooling (DLC) delivers operational savings and sustainability benefits, yet its adoption is fringe. Most data center operators predict a substantial increase in use within five years, particularly for cold plate systems. However, conc...
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. In the event of future supply chain problems, what will data cente...
Increasing demand for data center capacity is challenging operators to optimize their server footprint. What is the relative value of virtualization, software containers, public cloud, and IT upgrades to manage growth? What elements of data center in...
According to a new Uptime Institute survey of consultants, engineers, and vendors, the industry should be preparing for a smart, automated, and complex future. Early adopters are pointing the way.
