Five data center predictions for 2024
Daniel
Bizo
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.
DLC will not come to the rescue of data center sustainability
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.
Large data centers are mostly more efficient, analysis confirms
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.
Resiliency considerations with direct liquid cooling
DLC promises attractive thermal performance and economics, but data center operators looking to adopt it will need to examine how they define and uphold their resiliency standard as product designs and resiliency guidance evolve.
Data centers are short-staffed boys’ clubs
Two persistent trends in data center staffing are in apparent tension. The 2023 Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey confirmed, once again, that operations teams are struggling to attract and retain qualified staff. The severity of this…

Brown
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.
Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey 2023
Dr. Owen
Rogers
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.
Direct liquid cooling shows promise, but challenges persist
The Uptime Institute Cooling Systems Survey 2023 collects data on experiences with Direct Liquid Cooling from data center operators, as well as their objectives and concerns.
Accurate timekeeping in data centers: a resiliency review
Precision time systems to synchronize IT system clocks over the network have proliferated and evolved to meet the needs of reliable, secure applications.
Data center operators will face more grid disturbances
The energy crisis of 2022, resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, caused serious problems for data center operators in Europe. Energy prices leapt up and are likely to stay high. This has resulted in ongoing concerns that utilities in some…
Forecasting the solar storm threat
A proposed permanent network of electromagnetic monitoring stations across the continental US, operating in tandem with a machine learning (ML) algorithm, could facilitate accurate predictions of geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs). If realized, this…
REPLAY | Webinar: Five Data Center Predictions for 2023
Prolonged supply chain difficulties, high energy prices, and sweeping sustainability mandates — the digital infrastructure sector had its plate full in a tumultuous 2022. But new uncertainties abound that add more risk to operations and business…
Too hot to handle? Operators to struggle with new chips
Standard IT hardware was a boon for data centers: for almost two decades, mainstream servers have had relatively constant power and cooling requirements. This technical stability moored the planning and design of facilities (for both new builds and…
Five data center predictions for 2023
Uptime Institute Intelligence looks beyond some of the more obvious trends of 2023 — that the sector continues to expand and innovate while facing stricter regulatory requirements — and identifies some challenging issues.
