Data center operator shifts typically range from seven to 12 hours. Longer shifts are often preferred by employees, but can introduce significant risks.
The arrival of regulatorily mandated, climate-related financial disclosure and operational information and key performance indicators reporting for IT operations in 2024 and beyond requires the Digital Infrastructure industry to reimagine its approac...
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.
Operators of data centers in the UK have voiced concerns over the proposed resiliency and cybersecurity regulations that are aimed specifically at providers of colocation and “co-hosting” services.
New EU legislation will raise recycling and reporting standards for batteries, regardless of chemistries. Although motivated by battery use in electric vehicles, the regulations also place obligations on data center operators.
Uptime Institute's 2024 Data Center Resiliency Survey (n=919) focuses on data center resiliency issues and the impact of outages on the data center sector.The attached data files below provide full results of the survey, including data cuts based on ...
The EU Code of Conduct on Data Centre Energy Efficiency started out as a voluntary initiative but is increasingly being applied as a standard. This report describes the code’s technical contents and assessment process.
There is more to managing server power than just conserving energy when the machine is idle. Another side to optimizing energy performance involves setting processor performance levels appropriate for the application.
Air-assisted direct liquid cooling systems offer trade-offs that make them attractive to operators looking to address server cooling and rack density challenges — and are relatively easy to install and maintain.
This update examines the differences between machine learning and traditional software development and outlines the terms and definitions that may help digital infrastructure operators to understand the role and impact of AI.
Our analysis suggests Uptime Intelligence’s yearly data center predictions since 2022 continue to be relevant and merit attention going into 2024.
Without the active contribution from IT, data center infrastructure energy performance and sustainability will fall short of aspirations. Server power management features remain unexplored and underused by most efficiency initiatives.
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.
Germany’s Energy Efficiency Act makes a PUE of 1.2 mandatory for all new data centers starting in 2026. This has reignited a debate: can a data center be both highly available and highly efficient?
