Findings from the latest Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey show for the first time that the proportion of IT workloads hosted in on-premises data centers now represents slightly less than half of the total enterprise footprint.
Unpredictable costs and “bill shocks” are a growing problem for organizations running their applications and workloads in the public cloud. FinOps could help enterprises analyze, report and optimize cloud and other IT costs.
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.
The Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey 2023 shows that trust in artificial intelligence as a tool capable of making operational decisions has fallen sharply year on year. What is causing this reaction?
Results from the Uptime Institute Data Center Security Survey 2023 highlight the strategies used by organizations to prevent and respond to cyber-threats.
Over the next decade, digital infrastructure operations will need to comply with an emerging set of regulatory requirements. Managers can smooth the path to compliance by focusing on business processes and data collection.
Attitudes to critical infrastructure regulation vary across the world, with the regulators and the regulated mostly agreeing about the goal, role and application of new rules. The US, however, remains an outlier.
Few operators compile and report the primary operational data needed to create effective sustainability programs and fulfill regulatory requirements, Uptime research suggests.
This Q&A brings together questions and answers from a webinar on the transactions per megawatt hour metric. Topics include power management, server refresh and sustainability, GHG emissions, IT metrics and utilization rates.
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.
Reserved instances are a pricing model for virtual machines offered by cloud providers. As they offer savings of up to 70% compared with on-demand pricing, organizations should use them liberally, especially in challenging times.
Key findings from the Uptime Institute Edge Data Center Survey 2023 reveal how edge is becoming more important in hybrid infrastructure strategies.
This session covers common digital infrastructure sustainability myths, misunderstandings, and poorly understood areas, and provides advise on building better sustainability strategies.
Regulatory concerns over security, resiliency and energy use have led to a wave of new and updated requirements for data centers. Organizations are beginning to invest more to achieve compliance.
