Cloud sovereignty is often treated as binary choice, but, in reality, it is a spectrum shaped by law, operations, technologies and supply chains. This framework explains the differences between sovereign public cloud options.
Cybercriminals increasingly target supply chains as entry points for coordinated attacks; however, many vulnerabilities have been overlooked by operators and persist, despite their growing risk and severity.
Uptime Intelligence’s predictions for 2025 are revisited and reassessed with the benefit of hindsight.
Uptime Institute's 2025 Service Providers and Capacity Survey (n=872) benchmarks the industry in the areas of public cloud, capacity in owned data centers, and capacity in colocation facilities.The attached data files below provide full results of…
Data4 needed to test how to build and commission liquid-cooled high-capacity racks before offering them to customers. The operator used a proof-of-concept test to develop an industrialized version, which is now in commercial operation.
Currently, the most straightforward way to support DLC loads in many data centers is to use existing air-cooling infrastructure combined with air-cooled CDUs.
Large-scale AI training is an application of supercomputing. Supercomputing experts at the Yotta 2025 conference agree that operators need to optimize AI training efficiency and develop metrics to account for utilized power.
The US Cloud Act lets US authorities access cloud data stored overseas. Encryption offers protection only when keys are firmly controlled - creating challenges for enterprises but an opportunity for colocation providers.
By raising debt, building data centers and using colos, neoclouds shield hyperscalers from the financial and technological shocks of the AI boom. They share in the upside if demand grows, but are burdened with stranded assets if it stalls.
The data center industry will benefit from the race between Intel and AMD for technical supremacy, but the outlook in terms of power efficiency remains challenging.
The remote nature of cloud computing makes it vulnerable to extraterritorial legal reach. Colocations, by contrast, only manage infrastructure - not data - shielding them from the same level of foreign governmental access.
Many operators report that they trust AI to draft their MOPs, EOPs and SOPs. But this potentially error-prone approach demands meticulous review by an appropriate member of staff, or operators risk increasing the likelihood of costly downtime.
Security vulnerabilities in data center infrastructure management (DCIM) software are leaving some operators at risk of cyberattacks.
Financial data suggests that hyperscalers' use of colocation facilities has grown substantially over the past few years. Their investments in colocations also show no signs of slowing down.
Water cold plates still lead DLC adoption - but more enterprise operators are considering dielectric cold plates than last year. The next DLC adopters may be amenable to multiple technologies, while remaining cautious about leak risks.
