Water use has become a critical element of a sustainability strategy. It is a location-specific issue: local climate and resources and the data center design will determine the water use profile of the facility.
Data center cyber governance requires all key tasks to be identified, and that specific individuals are accountable for each task. Effective cybersecurity governance defines how key assets are protected and the roles that hold responsibility.
Data center teams and their suppliers need to build a coherent, achievable sustainability strategy to address emerging regulations. Managers should clarify roles and set cross-functional metrics to achieve sustainability goals.
Most operators will be familiar with the outrageous power and cooling demands of hardware for generative AI. Why are these systems so difficult to accommodate, and what does this mean for the future of data center design?
The data center industry's largest and most influential survey results are in! Join us as we discuss the 14th Annual Uptime Global Data Center Survey 2024 which reveals an industry that is expanding, and is also planning for major technological, econ...
The transition to direct liquid cooling has been a slow process. Today, operators work with water cold plates more than any other type of cooling, but this might change once a wider range of DLC types become available.

The 14th edition of the Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey highlights the experiences and strategies of data center owners and operators in the areas of resiliency, sustainability, efficiency, staffing, cloud and AI.
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.
