Results from Uptime Institute's 2026 Data Center Resiliency Survey (n=1,035) focus on data center resiliency issues and the impact of outages on the data center sector globally.The attached data files below provide full results of the survey,…
Although media coverage suggests data center buildout is accelerating, recent announcements and construction data paint a different picture — and suggest momentum may be slowing.
PUE measures facility energy overhead relative to IT load, but it does not show how much of a site's provisioned power envelope ultimately reaches IT. Power and compute effectiveness (PCE) introduces a metric that makes this allocation visible.
Uptime Intelligence analysis shows that minimum thresholds for IT power utilization misrepresents server work capacity utilization. These thresholds can unintentionally incentivize operators to disable server energy efficiency features.
While DCIM software has certain characteristics of a digital twin, persistent data quality and system interoperability issues mean a true digital twin for data center operations is still some way off.
Growing workload demand continued to drive capacity growth in 2025 for both enterprise and colocation companies. Although colocation growth remained strong overall, more colocation operators reported reaching a plateau than in 2024.Fewer enterprise…
French data center operators must meet strict PUE and WUE targets from early 2027 to maintain their electricity tax benefits.
Microsoft and other major campus operators are increasing transparency on new projects and committing to absorb their full development costs, but further commitments are needed to fully address public concerns.
AI in data center operations is shifting from experimentation to early production use. Adoption remains cautious and bounded, focused on practical automation that supports operators rather than replacing them.
Is your infrastructure prepared for the demands of artificial intelligence? Discover how to create resilient, adaptable, and scalable systems that can meet the intensive requirements of modern AI applications. In this engaging session, Uptime's…
Data from Uptime Intelligence's giant data center analysis indicates that proposed power capacity and investment tied to giant data centers and campuses are at unprecedented levels.North America represents 80% of all planned power identifed in 2025…
In this webinar and report, Uptime Intelligence looks beyond the more obvious trends of 2026 and examines some of the latest developments and challenges shaping the industry. AI is transforming data center strategies, but its impact remains uneven…
Uptime Institute's Sustainability and Climate Change Survey (n=1,054) benchmarks the data center industry in areas such as sustainability assessments, responses to extreme weather events, and how operators are handling regulatory requirements.The…
Uptime Intelligence looks beyond the more obvious trends of 2026 and examines some of the latest developments and challenges shaping the data center industry.
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.
