The arrival of regulatorily mandated, climate-related financial disclosure and operational information and key performance indicators reporting for IT operations in 2024 and beyond requires the Digital Infrastructure industry to reimagine its…
New EU legislation will raise recycling and reporting standards for batteries, regardless of chemistries. Although motivated by battery use in electric vehicles, the regulations also place obligations on data center operators.
The EU Code of Conduct on Data Centre Energy Efficiency started out as a voluntary initiative but is increasingly being applied as a standard. This report describes the code’s technical contents and assessment process.
There is more to managing server power than just conserving energy when the machine is idle. Another side to optimizing energy performance involves setting processor performance levels appropriate for the application.
Air-assisted direct liquid cooling systems offer trade-offs that make them attractive to operators looking to address server cooling and rack density challenges — and are relatively easy to install and maintain.
Without the active contribution from IT, data center infrastructure energy performance and sustainability will fall short of aspirations. Server power management features remain unexplored and underused by most efficiency initiatives.
Operators are missing opportunities to lower costs and energy use by not using utilization and power management data, an Uptime Intelligence survey on IT and power efficiency suggests.
In this Webinar, the Uptime Intelligence team looks beyond the obvious trends of 2024 and identifies some of the latest developments and their associated limitations.
Germany’s Energy Efficiency Act makes a PUE of 1.2 mandatory for all new data centers starting in 2026. This has reignited a debate: can a data center be both highly available and highly efficient?
Most of Europe’s Energy Efficient Directive (EED) requirements are set, but key issues remain. The draft EED delegated act, the last step to finalizing information and key performance indicators, is released for comments and revision.
Data center and IT managers face growing demand to publish comprehensive carbon inventory reports. But estimates for the carbon content embedded in IT equipment have questionable accuracy and usefulness in informing decisions.
Uptime Intelligence looks beyond the more obvious trends of 2024 and identifies some challenging issues. Strong IT demand, high-density IT systems and tough sustainability requirements will drive a new wave of investment.
Results from the Uptime Institute IT and Power Efficiency Survey 2023 suggest that many organizations may struggle to meet regulatory requirements for energy, carbon and IT life cycle tracking.
As operators deploy cold plate and immersion cooling, the cost or operational efficiency benefits are bound to disappoint. DLC alone will not bring the breakthrough in energy or sustainability performance the industry needs.
This webinar explores the data management process improvements necessary to track and report work per energy performance to meet customer expectations and regulatory mandates.
