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.
New survey data allows Uptime Institute to look at industry power usage effectiveness (PUE) in finer detail. Comparing PUE by compute capacity shows that, on average, larger sites have lower PUEs.
The thresholds set by Germany’s Energy Efficiency Act could make many legacy enterprise data centers obsolete — or else require operators to upgrade or move to compliant facilities
This report explains the nuances of using energy consumption, energy attribute certificates and emissions factor data to calculate the use of renewable energy and carbon-free energy, and a Scope 1 and 2 emissions inventory.
The final publication of the approved EED means that data center operators will need to undertake internal efforts to comply with energy management system and data reporting requirements.
