Financial institutions are embracing public cloud for some mission-critical workloads, and using it as a launchpad for AI development.
As IT organizations embrace AI, data center facilities and colocation providers need to plan to deploy the supporting infrastructure - despite many uncertainties. Most, however, are still moving cautiously.
Both colocation and enterprise operators cite recruiting qualified staff as a top concern, according to the Uptime Institute Data Center Staffing and Recruitment Survey 2025. Junior-level facilities employees remain in the shortest supply and…
Research into neuromorphic computing could lead to the creation of smaller, faster and more energy-efficient AI accelerators. This would have a transformative impact on digital infrastructure.
AI is changing how data centers operate, what began with algorithmic fine-tuning of chilled-water plants is now moving into the IT side of operations, closer to the load. But will operators ever trust AI enough to let it run the room?
Uptime Institute's 2025 Staffing and Recruitment Survey (n=864) focuses on increases in new data center hires and salary spending, as well as issues operators face in recruiting, hiring, and retaining data center facilities staff.The attached data…
By raising debt, building data centers and using colos, neoclouds shield hyperscalers from the financial and technological shocks of the AI boom. They share in the upside if demand grows, but are burdened with stranded assets if it stalls.
Sodium-ion batteries promised a third battery option to lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries. The closure of Natron Energy means operators will need to look elsewhere.
Many data center OT systems share High- or Critical-level common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs), making them easy targets for cyberattackers. Operators need to act to protect their critical infrastructures.
Many operators report that they trust AI to draft their MOPs, EOPs and SOPs. But this potentially error-prone approach demands meticulous review by an appropriate member of staff, or operators risk increasing the likelihood of costly downtime.
Most operators do not trust AI-based systems to control equipment in the data center - this has implications for software products that are already available, as well as those in development.
The Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey, now in its 15th year, is the most comprehensive and longest-running study of its kind.This report highlights some of the results from vendor, consultant and product supplier respondents and provides…
Security vulnerabilities in data center infrastructure management (DCIM) software are leaving some operators at risk of cyberattacks.
The Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey, now in its 15th year, is the most comprehensive and longest-running study of its kind. This report provides a regional view of the results and highlights the different challenges and strategies of…
Rising IT power densities are pushing chilled water systems to their limits. AI-driven control offers predictive load management, optimized sequencing and stable delta-T under demanding conditions.
