This report highlights results from vendor, consultant and product supplier respondents to the Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey 2025. It provides an insight into the spending strategies, technology adoption and issues facing their customer.
Data center labels and minimum performance standards are being developed in the EU and are being proposed in other geographies. In this webinar, Uptime Intelligence discusses what these controversial labels will look like, how they will be applied,…
Superconductive power cables promise faster, cheaper and simpler connections for data center operators waiting for power. They could also simplify campuses and microgrids.
Security vulnerabilities in data center infrastructure management (DCIM) software are leaving some operators at risk of cyberattacks.
This report provides a regional view of the results from the Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey 2025 and highlights some of the different challenges and strategies of data center owners and operators across the globe.
The projected tripling of data center capacity calls into question the industry's commitment to sustainability. The growth creates an opportunity to build out energy- and water-efficient infrastructure and increase carbon-free energy use.
Rising IT power densities are pushing chilled water systems to their limits. AI-driven control offers predictive load management, optimized sequencing and stable delta-T under demanding conditions.
Financial data suggests that hyperscalers' use of colocation facilities has grown substantially over the past few years. Their investments in colocations also show no signs of slowing down.
Water cold plates still lead DLC adoption - but more enterprise operators are considering dielectric cold plates than last year. The next DLC adopters may be amenable to multiple technologies, while remaining cautious about leak risks.
Results from Uptime Institute's 2025 Security Survey (n=982), now in its 3rd year, explore major cybersecurity issues facing data centers, as well as the IT and OT systems used to operate critical infrastructure.The attached data files below provide…
In Northern Virginia and Ireland, simultaneous responses by data centers to fluctuations on the grid have come close to causing a blackout. Transmission system operators are responding with new requirements on large demand loads.
Against a backdrop of higher densities and the push toward liquid cooling, air remains the dominant choice for cooling IT hardware. As long as air cooling works, many see no reason to change - and more think it is viable at high densities.
The European Commission is looking to revise the technical criteria for data centers under its taxonomy for financial sustainability to define what qualifies a data center as being environmentally sustainable.
AWS has recently cut prices on a range of GPU-backed instances. These price reductions make it harder to justify an investment in dedicated AI infrastructure.
Real-time computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis is gradually nearing reality, with GPUs now capable of producing high-fidelity simulations in under 10 minutes. However, many operators may be skeptical about why this is necessary.
