Large-scale AI training is an application of supercomputing. Supercomputing experts at the Yotta 2025 conference agree that operators need to optimize AI training efficiency and develop metrics to account for utilized power.
The US Cloud Act lets US authorities access cloud data stored overseas. Encryption offers protection only when keys are firmly controlled — creating challenges for enterprises but an opportunity for colocation providers.
Uptime Institute's 2025 Staffing and Recruitment Survey (n=864) focuses on increases in new data center hires and salary spending, as well as issues operators face in recruiting, hiring, and retaining data center facilities staff.The attached data…
Fewer people in the industry are talking about sustainability. But why has the collection of data also declined, when such data is often required by reporting regimes?
By raising debt, building data centers and using colos, neoclouds shield hyperscalers from the financial and technological shocks of the AI boom. They share in the upside if demand grows, but are burdened with stranded assets if it stalls.
French operators must consider three regulatory sustainability reporting frameworks and a policy for tax incentives. A proposed law will fast-track facilities of national interest, potentially overriding local environmental protections.
Sodium-ion batteries promised a third battery option to lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries. The closure of Natron Energy means operators will need to look elsewhere.
Many data center OT systems share High- or Critical-level common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs), making them easy targets for cyberattackers. Operators need to act to protect their critical infrastructures.
The Netherlands have published the data center EED information and KPI forms for the 2024 operating year. However, the data set from the 104 facilities that reported data has limited value due to incomplete submissions.
The data center industry will benefit from the race between Intel and AMD for technical supremacy, but the outlook in terms of power efficiency remains challenging.
Cybersecurity issues remain a major threat to the industry. This report highlights findings from the Uptime Institute Data Center Security Survey 2025, including costs and the persistence of IT software and network configuration issues.
The remote nature of cloud computing makes it vulnerable to extraterritorial legal reach. Colocations, by contrast, only manage infrastructure — not data — shielding them from the same level of foreign governmental access.
Liquid-cooled colocation capacity remains niche, but demand is likely to grow. Colocation providers planning capacity for DLC need to address novel questions about individual tenant needs, operations and SLAs.
Operators looking for low-carbon power may be assessing low-carbon hydrogen for standby or primary power. Except for niche applications, the technology is a long way from practicality.
From on-prem AI to high-density IT, this webinar examined survey findings on how operators are preparing for what’s next.
