IT efficiency: an untapped power resource

The data center industry’s growth projections can be met by combining energy supply growth and demand reduction. Highly utilized IT infrastructure and efficient software can mitigate demand growth while delivering needed IT capacity.

2024 Climate Change and Sustainability Survey [Results and Crosstab files]

Uptime Institute's Climate Change and Sustainability Survey (n=974) benchmarks data center capacity trends and looks at IT growth rates and how operators are adding data center capacity by building new and/or expanding existing facilities. The…

Grid demand will require active participation from data centers

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.

REPLAY | IT consolidation: A critical data center sustainability initiative

As the industry power demand grows, IT operators must focus on both IT infrastructure power demand and supply. A portion of the required power growth can be eliminated through better utilization of existing and new IT infrastructure and software…
