Data centers have become victims of their own success. Ever-larger data centers have mushroomed across the globe in line with an apparently insatiable demand for computing and storage capacity. The associated energy use is not only expensive (andβ¦
European Union (EU) regulators wrapped up 2022 with new legislation introducing stricter requirements for data center operators. Four major regulations were passed (with strong majorities) in the European Parliament β most of these having beenβ¦
The European Commission (EC) has published a draft technical document on data center metrics and reporting obligations in support of the deployment of its Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) recast. The Directive is intended to encourage operators toβ¦
Standard IT hardware was a boon for data centers: for almost two decades, mainstream servers have had relatively constant power and cooling requirements. This technical stability moored the planning and design of facilities (for both new builds andβ¦
The COVID-19 pandemic β and the subsequent disruption to supply chains β demonstrated the data center industryβs reliance on interdependent global markets and the components they produce. Although the data center sector was just one of manyβ¦
