This Q&A brings together questions and answers from a webinar on the transactions per megawatt hour metric. Topics include power management, server refresh and sustainability, GHG emissions, IT metrics and utilization rates.
This session covers common digital infrastructure sustainability myths, misunderstandings, and poorly understood areas, and provides advise on building better sustainability strategies.
Recent publication of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive Task B and C reports clarify most of the data reporting requirements and set out the preferred policy options for assessing data center energy performance.
IT efficiency can offer the keys to unlocking a more sustainable, efficient, and reliable data center. This session provides quantified examples of improvements in business and environmental performance.
This Q&A brings together questions and answers on the EU's Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) and its implications globally. Topics covered include reporting, efficiency, heat reuse, ISO standards, carbon capture and transparency.
Uptime Intelligence has been providing regular updates and insights on the efforts of the European Parliament and European Commission (EC) to finalize the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) recast requirements. The directive is the most radical and…
The European Union Parliament and commission have agreed on the final Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) data center requirements. What does this mean for operators with a presence in the EU and what does it foretell for global data center regulation?
Digital infrastructure operators have started to refocus their sustainability objectives on 100% 24x7 carbon-free energy (CFE) consumption: using carbon-free energy for every hour of operation. To establish a 24x7 CFE strategy, operators must track…
Data center operators that set net-zero goals will ultimately have to transition to 100% 24x7 carbon-free energy. But current technological limitations mean it is not economically feasible in most grid regions.In the past decade, the digital…
To help address the growing scrutiny of digital infrastructure efficiency, this webinar explores some of the options available to communicate IT system efficiency and work delivered per unit of energy consumed.
This Q&A brings together contributor/member questions and expert answers from a series of Uptime webinars held on the topic of sustainability and regulations and reporting in 2022.
Topics discussed include: the collection and management of greenhouse gas emissions data, the options for dealing with Scope 3 emissions and the procurement and reporting of renewable energy for both direct consumption and as offsets.
For the past two years, Uptime has been tracking the progress of what is likely to be the most important legislation yet for data center sustainability and efficiency reporting. The European Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) will affect all but the…
This Q&A discusses the issues surrounding the improvement of IT system efficiency, including equipment definitions and efficiency, power management and systems-level software to optimize equipment utilization levels.
More data center operators are establishing 7x24 goals for clean energy consumption, an approach that is consistent with Uptime Intelligence recommendations on clean energy procurement and goals. This webinar assesses the limits of a 7x24 commitment…
