As Nvidia looks to capture a larger share of the server CPU market, incumbents Intel and AMD are stepping up their development efforts too. The coming years are likely to put CPU core performance back in the spotlight.
A new type of machine learning model promises greater efficiency, but only across a narrow set of tasks. Its specialised approach could offer an alternative to LLMs in specific disciplines and use-cases.
Data center noise is becoming a major source of complaints from nearby residents — particularly low-frequency "infrasound." New research explores the engineering challenges behind the issue and offers ways to mitigate them.
Superconductivity is still considered an exotic technology, but extreme-density IT will make data center operators take note of this option.
Denmark will classify grid connection applications by their importance to society, placing large data centers in the lowest priority category, as the country seeks to manage the volume of connection requests in the queue.
Texas' Governor has called for an audit of all applications for data center grid connections, also halting environmental permits. This review will impact operators financially, as projects will be delayed until the audit process is complete
This report provides a concise, non-exhaustive overview of key considerations for designing, building and operating IT-agnostic secondary fluid networks for DLC using water-based coolants.
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…
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.
This report highlights results from vendor and product supplier respondents to the Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey 2026 and provides an insight into the spending strategies, technology adoption and other issues facing their customers.
On average, cloud provider outages affected application availability less in 2025 than in 2024. Yet risk remains: an unfortunate choice of zone or region can subject even well-planned applications to hours of disruption.
Results from Uptime Institute's 2026 Data Center Operations and AI Survey (n=867) focus AI training and AI inference workloads hosted in data centers, as well as how AI workloads are being deployed in terms of data center cooling systems and rack…
Traditional air gap security presents a barrier to applications requiring live IT-OT telemetry data. Rising interest in real-time monitoring and AI-driven operations requires a rethink of outdated, inflexible cybersecurity approaches.
More data center operators are performing AI training in 2026, and this type of workload continues to be distributed across a wide range of data center venues. No single hosting model has emerged as the default.
New flagship AMD and Intel servers with high core counts push performance boundaries while improving efficiencies. This report breaks down and visualizes improvements based on an analysis of SERT data.
