Regulatory concerns over security, resiliency and energy use have led to a wave of new and updated requirements for data centers. Organizations are beginning to invest more to achieve compliance.
With ever-increasing critical digital workloads being processed and stored by third parties, regulators are extending their oversight to reach deeper into the digital supply chain in the financial system.
Industry average PUE has not improved consistently for some years now, according to Uptime Institute’s annual survey. However, the headline number may be masking underlying dynamics of meaningful improvements.
As part of the Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey 2023, data center equipment vendors and consultants were asked about customer spending, supply chains and DCIM adoption. This report highlights the key findings.
Recent publication of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive Task B and C reports clarify most of the data reporting requirements and set out the preferred policy options for assessing data center energy performance.
With governments now aware that economic stability and national well-being are heavily dependent on IT services and the critical digital infrastructure, many are regulating to strengthen digital security and resiliency.
The data center industry's largest and most influential survey results are in! Join us as we discuss the 13th Annual Uptime Global Data Center Survey 2023 which reveals an industry that is growing, dynamic and increasingly resilient.
The main payoff is clear: power management’s impact on performance is demonstrably low, and in most cases, customers will probably not notice that it is turned on. Even at higher points of utilization, the impact on performance is minimal.
The EU is introducing a raft of new financial and technical sustainability laws in the coming years. These laws will increase the regulatory reporting burden on owners, operators and users of European data centers.
The Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey highlights the experiences and strategies of data center owners and operators in areas of resiliency, sustainability, efficiency, staffing, cloud and innovative technologies.
This Q&A brings together questions and answers on the EU’s Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) and its implications globally. Topics covered include reporting, efficiency, heat reuse, ISO standards, carbon capture and transparency.
Uptime Intelligence has been providing regular updates and insights on the efforts of the European Parliament and European Commission (EC) to finalize the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) recast requirements. The directive is the most radical and…
The chart and table in this report identify and describe a number of de-facto standards and laws used in the field of data center sustainability and efficiency (for convenience, we use the term “standards” for all).
The European Union Parliament and commission have agreed on the final Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) data center requirements. What does this mean for operators with a presence in the EU and what does it foretell for global data center regulation?
Digital infrastructure operators have started to refocus their sustainability objectives on 100% 24x7 carbon-free energy (CFE) consumption: using carbon-free energy for every hour of operation. To establish a 24x7 CFE strategy, operators must track…
