Nvidia’s DSX proposal outlines a software-led model where digital twins, modular design and automation could shape how future gigawatt-scale AI facilities operate, even though the approach remains largely conceptual.
The Uptime Intelligence research agenda includes a list of published and planned research reports for 2026, and is focused on Uptime Intelligence primary coverage areas: 1) power generation, distribution, energy storage; 2) data center management…
Uptime Intelligence’s predictions for 2025 are revisited and reassessed with the benefit of hindsight.
Colocation and enterprise companies have endured ongoing staffing issues, and accelerated growth in 2026 will strain hiring pools further. Strategies to address worker vacancies vary, but few have been successful.
As the data center industry seeks to optimize AI hosting, it must also determine the most effective ways to leverage it for operational purposes. Uptime Intelligence analysts John O'Brien and Rose Weinschenk discuss key aspects of AI that can be…
Giant data centers are being planned and built across the world to support AI, with successful projects forming the backbone of a huge expansion in capacity. But many are also uncertain, indicating risks and persistent headwinds.
Enterprise and colocation operators continue to invest in growth heading into 2026. However, survey results suggest that strategies for balancing IT, capacity and workforce spending will diverge in the year ahead.
AI workloads are driving a fundamental shift in data center design and operations. Higher power densities, new cooling paradigms (direct liquid cooling and immersion), more aggressive serviceability requirements, and a rapidly evolving vendor and…
