Gigantic “gigawatt” data center campuses are being proposed or planned in many locations around the world. They could change the digital infrastructure landscape, but many questions — including how many will be built — remain.
Executives in many industries have been bold with their sustainability claims, setting ambitious net-zero goals and heralding minor successes. For digital infrastructure, as elsewhere, a painful and expensive correction is coming.
This session describes the questions organizations need to answer around technology roadmaps, market growth and workload requirements to effectively plan the data center builds of the near future.
The Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey 2023 provided insights and site data from owners and operators globally. The findings from North America reveal key differences in the areas of staffing, energy, cloud and AI.
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.
