European national grid operators are advised to adopt proposed grid code requirements to protect their infrastructure from risks, such as data center activity, even though Commission action on the issue has stalled.
Cloud sovereignty is often treated as binary choice, but, in reality, it is a spectrum shaped by law, operations, technologies and supply chains. This framework explains the differences between sovereign public cloud options.
In this webinar and report, Uptime Intelligence looks beyond the more obvious trends of 2026 and examines some of the latest developments and challenges shaping the industry. AI is transforming data center strategies, but its impact remains uneven…
Uptime Institute's Sustainability and Climate Change Survey (n=1,054) benchmarks the data center industry in areas such as sustainability assessments, responses to extreme weather events, and how operators are handling regulatory requirements.The…
DLC introduces challenges at all levels of data center commissioning. Some end users accept CDUs without factory witness testing — a significant departure from the conventional commissioning script
Cybercriminals increasingly target supply chains as entry points for coordinated attacks; however, many vulnerabilities have been overlooked by operators and persist, despite their growing risk and severity.
Uptime Intelligence looks beyond the more obvious trends of 2026 and examines some of the latest developments and challenges shaping the data center industry.
Simple arithmetic shows that newly constructed, large-scale private data centers with high occupancy rates can sometimes undercut colos on unit costs, but in most cases colos remain significantly cheaper.
Nvidia’s DSX proposal outlines a software-led model where digital twins, modular design and automation could shape how future gigawatt-scale AI facilities operate, even though the approach remains largely conceptual.
The Uptime Intelligence research agenda includes a list of published and planned data center research reports for 2026, focusing on: AI workloads, power, cooling, sustainability, resiliency, operations, staffing, and security.
Nvidia’s DGX-Ready certification for colocation facilities has been around for nearly six years, yet what the program actually entails remains obscure.
Uptime Intelligence’s predictions for 2025 are revisited and reassessed with the benefit of hindsight.
Colocation and enterprise companies have endured ongoing staffing issues, and accelerated growth in 2026 will strain hiring pools further. Strategies to address worker vacancies vary, but few have been successful.
As the data center industry seeks to optimize AI hosting, it must also determine the most effective ways to leverage it for operational purposes.Uptime Intelligence analysts John O'Brien and Rose Weinschenk discuss key aspects of AI that can be used…
Giant data centers are being planned and built across the world to support AI, with successful projects forming the backbone of a huge expansion in capacity. But many are also uncertain, indicating risks and persistent headwinds.
