The data center industry's largest and most influential survey results are in! Join us as we discuss the 14th Annual Uptime Global Data Center Survey 2024 which reveals an industry that is expanding, and is also planning for major technological,…
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.
Only half of data center operators rate their cyber resiliency assessments as effective, despite three in four operators experiencing a recent cyber incident.
Goals for achieving net-zero emissions by 2030 are being extended, according to Uptime Institute survey data. This is likely driven by stricter reporting requirements, rising costs and limited availability of carbon-free energy.
Adoption of direct liquid cooling (DLC) continues to grow slowly, according to recent Uptime research. However, more operators are considering it for future use due to mounting thermal management and sustainability challenges.
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 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.
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.
Our analysis suggests Uptime Intelligence’s yearly data center predictions since 2022 continue to be relevant and merit attention going into 2024.
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.
Large colocation and public cloud companies have been growing strongly and very publicly, but enterprises continue to add data center capacity too, Uptime Intelligence data shows.
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.
