Operators of data centers in the UK have voiced concerns over the proposed resiliency and cybersecurity regulations that are aimed specifically at providers of colocation and βco-hostingβ services.
New EU legislation will raise recycling and reporting standards for batteries, regardless of chemistries. Although motivated by battery use in electric vehicles, the regulations also place obligations on data center operators.
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 codeβs technical contents and assessment process.
There is more to managing server power than just conserving energy when the machine is idle. Another side to optimizing energy performance involves setting processor performance levels appropriate for the application.
Air-assisted direct liquid cooling systems offer trade-offs that make them attractive to operators looking to address server cooling and rack density challenges β and are relatively easy to install and maintain.
This update examines the differences between machine learning and traditional software development and outlines the terms and definitions that may help digital infrastructure operators to understand the role and impact of AI.
Our analysis suggests Uptime Intelligenceβs yearly data center predictions since 2022 continue to be relevant and merit attention going into 2024.
Without the active contribution from IT, data center infrastructure energy performance and sustainability will fall short of aspirations. Server power management features remain unexplored and underused by most efficiency initiatives.
Operators are missing opportunities to lower costs and energy use by not using utilization and power management data, an Uptime Intelligence survey on IT and power efficiency suggests.
In this Webinar, the Uptime Intelligence team looks beyond the obvious trends of 2024 and identifies some of the latest developments and their associated limitations.
Germanyβs Energy Efficiency Act makes a PUE of 1.2 mandatory for all new data centers starting in 2026. This has reignited a debate: can a data center be both highly available and highly efficient?
Most of Europeβs 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.
Large colocation and public cloud companies have been growing strongly and very publicly, but enterprises continue to add data center capacity too, Uptime Intelligence data shows.
Data center and IT managers face growing demand to publish comprehensive carbon inventory reports. But estimates for the carbon content embedded in IT equipment have questionable accuracy and usefulness in informing decisions.
The industry is touting AI as a highly useful tool for data center operations. In this Webinar, Uptime executives discuss the most appropriate AI systems for data center controls and efficiency, along with what works best - and why.
