Organizations develop strict security policies and practices to reduce exposure to cyberattacks. An ineffective policy only increases the cyber risk both to the data center and across IT in general.
The EU Code of Conduct on Data Centre Energy Efficiency started out as a voluntary initiative but is increasingly being applied as a standard. This report describes the code’s technical contents and assessment process.
Most of Europe’s Energy Efficient Directive (EED) requirements are set, but key issues remain. The draft EED delegated act, the last step to finalizing information and key performance indicators, is released for comments and revision.
This report explains the nuances of using energy consumption, energy attribute certificates and emissions factor data to calculate the use of renewable energy and carbon-free energy, and a Scope 1 and 2 emissions inventory.
DLC promises attractive thermal performance and economics, but data center operators looking to adopt it will need to examine how they define and uphold their resiliency standard as product designs and resiliency guidance evolve.
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.
Recovery of data center waste heat is garnering renewed interest for its sustainability credentials. This report investigates these initiatives and looks at their impact both on efficiency and cost.
Improving data center infrastructure energy efficiency is vital in helping organizations contain costs and carbon emissions that result from IT growth. This report compares seven projects using a data- and experience-based model.
The EU is introducing a raft of new financial and technical sustainability laws in the coming years. These laws will increase the regulatory reporting burden on owners, operators and users of European data centers.
Organizations encounter a bewildering assortment of cloud storage platforms. The difference between the offerings lies in who is responsible for scaling, resiliency and performance: the provider or the customer.
Precision time systems to synchronize IT system clocks over the network have proliferated and evolved to meet the needs of reliable, secure applications.
This report analyzes server data from The Green Grid’s Server Efficiency Rating Tool (SERT) database and provides quantitative guidance to help enterprises estimate their server energy saving potential.
This report shows how rising market concentration and poor visibility drive risk exposure, and explains why organizations should prioritize resilient single-cloud architectures before they consider dual-cloud implementations.
Uptime Intelligence uses historical status updates from Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure to calculate the availabilities of several cloud architectures, including a multi-cloud implementation.
This report examines multiple applications of AI and automation within data center infrastructure management (DCIM) software. Greater automation can result in improved efficiency and free up staff to focus on more complex tasks.
