AI training clusters can show rapid and large swings in power consumption. This behavior is likely driven by a combination of properties of both modern compute silicon and AI training software — and may be difficult to manage at scale.
Uptime analysis suggests a growing interest in public cloud by financial institutions. But concerns over cloud providers’ support for regulation compliance ahead of the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act may cause some to pull back.
Data center cybersecurity risks need to be managed in line with corporate objectives and across a wide range of cyber adversaries and threats. This means understanding the organizational risk tolerance and being able to identify the best options for
UPS systems are the number one root cause of significant and severe outages. Analysis of reliability data from data center management software provider Fulcrum Collaborations sheds more light on the prevalent UPS component failures.
Software updates by third-party IT providers occur every day, either in the cloud or on-premises. The recent global IT outage has exposed a hard truth: that another major event is likely to occur.
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.
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,…
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.
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?
Only half of data center operators rate their cyber resiliency assessments as effective, despite three in four operators experiencing a recent cyber incident.
Identifying the extent of security requirements is a critical first step in building a viable data center cybersecurity strategy. Data center managers should identify and answer essential questions to implement an effective playbook.
There are no commonly accepted best practices or standards to refer to when assessing the fire hazard that single-phase immersion fluids pose in a data center application and the appropriate measures against them.
Operators often resist giving third parties access to OT data to limit vulnerabilities. Nevertheless, some colocation customers require this access — as will emerging AI tools — but the OT air-gap should not be bridged lightly.
Li-ion batteries have many benefits but may have been adopted without sufficient risk analysis. Following serious data center fires, operators should be aware of the risk of damage, potential regulations and the costs of safety mitigation.
Uptime Institute's 2nd edition of the Data Center Security Survey (n=927) explores important data center cybersecurity issues, as well as the information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) used to run data centers.The attached data…
