This webinar explores low water use cooling system innovations and water management strategies that can help operators navigate the sustainability and reliability implications associated with water use.
Alongside continued developments in liquid cooling, there are reports of air-cooled data centers that achieve standout levels of efficiency. Uptime explores the factors that combine to enable exceptional efficiency in air cooling.
The increasing visibility of the data center sector, partly due to the significant growth in aggregate energy use and carbon emissions within the sector, has led to increased scrutiny of data centers’ individual and collective environmental…
It is becoming a near certainty that many facility operators will use direct liquid cooling within a few years. This raises a number of engineering questions, one of which is how to size coolant distribution units.
The 14th edition of the Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey highlights the experiences and strategies of data center owners and operators in the areas of resiliency, sustainability, efficiency, staffing, cloud and AI. The attached data files…
This report looks at the leading frameworks for carbon reporting with regards to energy attribute certificates (EACs) and Scope 3, including their sector-specific guidance (if any) for data centers.
Results from the Uptime Institute Supply Chain Survey 2023 reveal that data center owners and operators are continuing to suffer supply chain delays, but these appear to be less frequent and severe than in 2022.
This report captures some findings from the Uptime Institute Sustainability and Climate Change Survey 2023, including that more than half of operators are still to set a net-zero emissions goal and less than half compile key metrics.
Uptime Institute draws lessons from global outages data for 2024’s annual benchmark review of the impacts, costs and changing types and frequency of crucial infrastructure failures.
Avoiding digital infrastructure failures remains paramount for data center owners and operators. This report analyzes recent Uptime Institute data on IT and data center outage trends: their causes, costs and consequences.
Data center operators face expanding information and key performance indicator reporting requirements. Standard accounting practices and data exchange processes will help enable the efficient exchange of information.
Data center capacities are expanding rapidly, and organizations are increasingly using hybrid IT to meet rising demand. However, the growing complexity of IT environments is exposing limitations to current approaches.
Industry stakeholders recognize that to truly understand IT infrastructure efficiency, data center operators need to report a facility work per unit of energy metric. Most operators are, however, unprepared to calculate this metric.
Preliminary calculations by Uptime Intelligence suggest the initial impact of generative AI on global data center power use is low — but it will rise quickly as adoption increases. How far generative AI will go remains unclear.
Data center budgets are expected to increase in 2024 for most organizations, but ongoing supply chain issues and staffing challenges may restrict investments, according to recent Uptime Intelligence survey data.
