Cloud providers advise users to build application resiliency by deploying across multiple locations. This report quantifies the emissions, resiliency and costs of different stateless cloud-application architectures.
Reduced latency and bandwidth are top drivers for edge data centers, with the internet of things and artificial intelligence being the most important applications.
To improve the resiliency of an application in a public cloud, it is often distributed across data centers. This report quantifies the costs, levels of resiliency and outages compensation for common public cloud architectures.
Avoiding downtime remains a top priority for managers of critical digital infrastructure. As the demands placed on IT change, so do the types, frequency and impacts of outages. This report draws lessons from recent outage data.
The proposed Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) will introduce new reporting and resiliency requirements in Europe - and many authorities around the world are expected to be heavily influenced by these plans.
Edge computing is expected to require large numbers of small-scale data centers located close to their end-users. This report profiles suppliers of different types of small-scale edge facilities and their products and services.
The survey finds spending on data centers is growing; forecasting capacity is the largest operator challenge; and the use of lithium-ion batteries and other technologies is more common.
Photovoltaic (PV) solar — which has become the lowest-cost form of energy in most major countries, according to the International Energy Agency — is set to play an increasing role in limiting the environmental footprint of edge data centers.
Edge data centers need to be resilient to failures. This is commonly achieved by using redundant on-site infrastructure, possibly combined with software-based, distributed resiliency. Generators remain important, but batteries, solar panels and…
Many analysts have forecast an explosion in demand for edge data centers. After a long, slow start, demand is beginning to build, with small, prefabricated and mostly remotely operated data centers ready to be deployed to support a varying array of…
Increasing demand for data center capacity is challenging operators to optimize their server footprint. What is the relative value of virtualization, software containers, public cloud, and IT upgrades to manage growth? What elements of data center…
Demand for edge data centers has started to increase from low levels. Uptime Institute’s research shows that owners, operators, and suppliers alike anticipate further growth across different industry verticals, especially in North America.While…
Edge data centers are generally small data center facilities — designed for IT workloads up to a few hundred kilowatts — that process data closer to the population of local end users and devices. Earlier in 2021, we surveyed data center owners/…
Demand for private and shared edge data centers is starting to grow from low numbers. Certain edge workloads, the strategies of large cloud providers, and the speculative deployments of supporting 5G networks are fueling edge data center buildouts.
One of the most widely anticipated trends in IT and infrastructure is significant new demand for edge computing, fueled by technologies such as 5G, IoT and AI. To date, net new demand for edge computing — processing, storing and integrating data…
