Self-contained liquid cooling: the low-friction option

Liquid cooling contained within the server chassis lets operators cool high-density hardware without modifying existing infrastructure. However, this type of cooling has limitations in terms of performance and energy efficiency.

 
EU energy efficiency package may slow digital growth

The EU is stepping up efforts to implement the Energy Efficiency Directive for data centers by announcing a related energy efficiency package, due to be released in Q1 2026.

 
Malaysia manages data center growth with regulations

As Malaysia’s data center market booms, the government has initiated regulations and standards to manage and direct energy use, efficiency and sustainability — building on emerging global policy trends.

 
Serverless container pricing tool

Serverless container services enable rapid, per-second scalability, which is ideal for AI inference. However, inconsistent and opaque pricing metrics hinder comparisons. This pricing tool compares the cost of services across providers.

 
Unraveling the cost complexity of serverless containers

Serverless container services enable rapid scalability, which is ideal for AI inference. However, inconsistent and opaque pricing metrics hinder comparisons. This report uses machine learning to derive clear guidance by means of decision trees.

Are EU data center performance values creating chaos?

The EU Commission has used a non-representative dataset to propose minimum performance standards (MPS) for PUE, WUE and REF, effective in 2030. The mandate risks the rebuilding of 30% to 40% of data center space in four years.

 
REPLAY | Uptime Intelligence Client Webinar: Grid sustainability in the AI age

Uptime experts discuss and answer questions on grid demands and sustainability strategies while debating how to meet decarbonization goals.

 
EED status update: implications for data centers

Although the data center industry is mostly aware of the EU’s Energy Efficiency Directive, Uptime Intelligence’s research suggests widespread confusion on specific components of the directive — and its implementation status.
