The cost of AI training varies depending on underlying infrastructure and the training approach adopted. This web tool calculates training times and workload infrastructure costs based on configurable data center, infrastructure and model attributes.
Choosing whether to train a model from scratch or fine-tune an existing one comes down to the use case and cost — with hardware utilization remaining an important cost factor.
The European Commission published the draft data center rating scheme, including a public label template, and amendments to EU 2024/1364. The regulation has been improved, but critical issues remain unaddressed.
Results from Uptime Institute's 2026 Data Center Resiliency Survey (n=1,035) focus on data center resiliency issues and the impact of outages on the data center sector globally.The attached data files below provide full results of the survey,…
The topic of direct current (DC) power distribution in data centers is back, and this time it may be different.
Although media coverage suggests data center buildout is accelerating, recent announcements and construction data paint a different picture — and suggest momentum may be slowing.
Water treatment and chemicals giant Ecolab has agreed to pay $4.75 billion in cash for Canadian DLC specialist CoolIT. It is the latest sign of unabated demand for AI compute.
Increasing community opposition to data center development is compelling hyperscalers to rethink their decades-old practices.
The data center industry is facing a critical staffing crisis, yet traditional recruitment and retention efforts are falling short. Join us this International Data Center Day (25 March) for a deep dive into the evolving workforce landscape.We'll…
Enterprises deploying AI inference need to choose carefully to limit costs and protect their data.
Even before data center operators move to higher voltages, rising power densities are increasing the risks faced by electricians.
Your data center investment may achieve high availability, but a single cyber incident can render that investment meaningless. This webinar explores why all data center facilities need a structured cybersecurity management program alongside their…
Growing public opposition to data center development has pushed many data center companies to invest in media and promotional campaigns. But, as opposition intensifies, this type of outreach is unlikely to sway public opinion.
Delays in grid interconnection continue to slow data center development. "Bring your own power" and demand flexibility are presented as ways to accelerate access to power and meet two to three year deployment targets. We'll briefly discuss the…
Although cloud platforms often offer the lowest cost for AI inference, on-premises deployment may be preferable due to application architecture, data locality and control requirements.
