When building cloud applications, organizations cannot rely solely on cloud provider infrastructure for resiliency. Instead, they must architect their applications to survive occasional service and data center outages.
Data centers are being included in national development plans as a source of economic growth. While this will ease operators' access to land and power, it will also lead to more scrutiny from government and regulation.
The EU's NIS 2 directive requires all organizations operating in Europe to comply with 10 essential cybersecurity measures, but many data center operators remain unprepared.
As a quick reference, we have provided links below to all the research reports published by Uptime Intelligence in 2024, by month. Research areas focused on 1) power generation, distribution, energy storage; 2) data center management software; 3)…
Power grids are under stress, struggling to meet future demand and increasingly prone to outages. More utilities will expect data centers to contribute power - and be more flexible in their use of power.
Cyber strategies need to extend beyond the facility to reduce third-party supplier threat risks. Data center executives should apply robust, consistent supply chain risk management practices to critical data center technologies
Results from the Uptime Institute Security Survey 2024 highlight the different cybersecurity approaches used by operators against a widening range of threats.
To support reliable, secure, and effective data center operations, state-of-the-art design/construction must be seamlessly integrated with operational excellence. A well-located, purpose-built facility, designed and built to include reliable,…
Cybersecurity strategies often evolve organically: tools are added, requirements change, and the result is a lack of coherent structure. Cybersecurity professionals can benefit from adopting frameworks to organize these activities
Powerful solar storms have already brought warnings of disruption to electricity grids and their customers twice in 2024 - and the Sun's activity has yet to peak. Why do data centers and power utilities appear to have escaped unscathed?
Raising supply air temperature is drawing interest from data center providers and regulators in some countries. While saving energy, it may also reduce resiliency. This report quantifies energy impacts to clarify when it can be beneficial.
The UK has become the latest nation to classify data centers as part of the critical national infrastructure. But for data center operators, is this a welcome move?
Policies and procedures translate cybersecurity management objectives into the activities that protect data centers. But what steps should operators take to establish a comprehensive approach to implement these policies?
Data center outage recovery processes often overlook integrated cybersecurity systems. Power outages can disrupt these systems and prevent operators from accessing critical platforms.
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.
