Many data center operators are unaware that digitizing process documentation can impact staff performance. Understanding human psychology enables team leaders to create more effective digital versions of procedural documents.
Uptime Institute's 2024 Data Center Maintenance Survey benchmarked maintenance practices among data center operators to help organizations improve performance when it comes to maintenance practices
Several recent outages have exposed the global dependency on a small number of third-party suppliers — and governments around the world are already taking note.
According to a recent court ruling, European organizations are required to charge value added tax (VAT) on waste heat that they give away for free. This calls into question the economics of waste heat reuse.
Good data center governance provides a foundation for effective data center cybersecurity. How should data center leaders structure an approach that optimizes the resources needed to safeguard data centers?
Although there is still uncertainty around the rate of AI adoption, many organizations are pushing ahead to avoid being left behind. However, behind this enthusiasm, there are six issues that operators face when hosting AI.
Many data centers struggle to achieve maximum capacity and optimal cooling, resulting in troublesome hot spots. Advances in cooling optimization software have addressed this complexity and could be the answer.
In response to stronger environmental legislation, data center operators in European countries are making greater investments in data center efficiency — as well as increasing their reporting.
Two-phase immersion was expected to revolutionize data center cooling but proved difficult to implement. With escalating silicon thermal power, two-phase is gaining substantial interest again, just in a different form: direct-to-chip liquid cooling.
Only half of data center operators rate their cyber resiliency assessments as effective, despite three in four operators experiencing a recent cyber incident.
Investing in recruitment initiatives and exploring underutilized talent pools could help data centers overcome current recruitment difficulties in sourcing appropriate candidates.
Identifying the extent of security requirements is a critical first step in building a viable data center cybersecurity strategy. Data center managers should identify and answer essential questions to implement an effective playbook.
There are no commonly accepted best practices or standards to refer to when assessing the fire hazard that single-phase immersion fluids pose in a data center application and the appropriate measures against them.
Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) software is evolving and improving. This report discusses where DCIM has made most progress, and why it is now considered a viable and worthwhile investment.
Data Center reporting for the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) has been set for September 15, 2024. This webinar provides the current status and nuances of the reporting requirements as understood by Uptime Institute.
