Nvidia’s DSX proposal outlines a software-led model where digital twins, modular design and automation could shape how future gigawatt-scale AI facilities operate, even though the approach remains largely conceptual.
The Uptime Intelligence research agenda includes a list of published and planned research reports for 2026, and is focused on Uptime Intelligence primary coverage areas: 1) power generation, distribution, energy storage; 2) data center management…
Several influential and well-resourced companies claim that the next wave of data centers will be deployed in space. Should this be taken seriously?
Nvidia’s DGX-Ready certification for colocation facilities has been around for nearly six years, yet what the program actually entails remains obscure.
Uptime Intelligence’s predictions for 2025 are revisited and reassessed with the benefit of hindsight.
Colocation and enterprise companies have endured ongoing staffing issues, and accelerated growth in 2026 will strain hiring pools further. Strategies to address worker vacancies vary, but few have been successful.
As the data center industry seeks to optimize AI hosting, it must also determine the most effective ways to leverage it for operational purposes. Uptime Intelligence analysts John O'Brien and Rose Weinschenk discuss key aspects of AI that can be…
Giant data centers are being planned and built across the world to support AI, with successful projects forming the backbone of a huge expansion in capacity. But many are also uncertain, indicating risks and persistent headwinds.
Japan is expected to issue data center regulations in 2026: data centers that do not meet a 1.4 PUE limit will face penalties. However, enterprise data centers appear to have evaded the stipulations.
Enterprise and colocation operators continue to invest in growth heading into 2026. However, survey results suggest that strategies for balancing IT, capacity and workforce spending will diverge in the year ahead.
A last-minute revision to the European Commission’s plans to simplify regulations has brought some companies back under the scope for CSRD reporting.
AI workloads are driving a fundamental shift in data center design and operations. Higher power densities, new cooling paradigms (direct liquid cooling and immersion), more aggressive serviceability requirements, and a rapidly evolving vendor and…
Meeting the stringent technical and commercial standards for UPS energy storage applications takes time and investment — during which Li-ion technology keeps evolving. With Natron gone, will ZincFive be able to take the opportunity?
Uptime Institute's 2025 Service Providers and Capacity Survey (n=872) benchmarks the industry in the areas of public cloud, capacity in owned data centers, and capacity in colocation facilities.The attached data files below provide full results of…
Data4 needed to test how to build and commission liquid-cooled high-capacity racks before offering them to customers. The operator used a proof-of-concept test to develop an industrialized version, which is now in commercial operation.
