The latest data from the EU's EED reveals ongoing issues in both the quality of the data and the lack of coverage, limiting its use as an accurate benchmark of the sector's efficiency performance
Arc flash risks in data centers using 800V DC strongly depend on architecture — a research paper warns operators that they will need to update arc flash safety procedures to handle DC systems.
Results from Uptime Institute's 2026 Security Survey (n=826), now in its 4rd year, explore major cybersecurity issues facing data centers, as well as the IT and OT systems used to operate critical infrastructure.The attached data files below provide…
Analysis of the latest giant data center proposals from the first half of 2026 offers some useful indications of how the giant build-out is progressing.
Giant data center power capacity and investment are at unprecedented levels, with power proposed in the first half of 2026 tracking at 2025 levels.
How do you cut a grid connection queue that is simply too long? The UK's regulator Ofgem has proposed a large fee to deter and remove non-viable projects from the queue, but the plan may have unintended consequences.
Unclear goals and mismatched expectations can undermine DCIM projects if not addressed early. This report provides a roadmap of questions and considerations for buyers and suppliers to align, not just at the outset, but for the long-term.
Redundant power and cooling equipment is expected to reduce outages — but by how much? Survey data shows that operators using 2N configurations were up to 64% less likely to report an outage than those using N.
AI can reduce data-center cooling energy consumption, but headline savings rarely tell the whole story. The opportunity lies in system-level optimization that accounts for equipment constraints, changing workloads and the shift to liquid cooling.
AI data center projects often run into delays when developers encounter unfamiliar technologies and unexpected technical challenges. Taking a structured, methodical approach can help keep projects on track.
Meta's decision to give away its latest large language model challenges the narrative around AI infrastructure.
US federal- and state-level ratepayer protection bills and initiatives signal a shift in how data centers interact with the public grid. As policymakers revise grid rules for resource-hungry projects, there is growing debate over how to split costs.
New York's data center moratorium is more than a pause on new projects, it is an attempt to make developers partners in rebuilding the grid — and could provide a model for other governments.
Results from Uptime Institute's 2026 Cooling Systems Survey (n=1,034) focus on the usage of data center cooling systems across the industry, zeroing in on the continued adoption of direct liquid cooling.The attached data files below provide full…
Amid the politics and the build out boom driven by AI, data center operators continue to gather sustainability data — but rarely publicize it.
