Rack power density is a key metric that informs engineers in making design choices for data centers. This data report tracks changes in power densities since 2018, showing a trend towards greater server and rack power.
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.
The Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey is the most comprehensive of its kind. The findings reveal the experiences of data center operators in the areas of performance, resiliency, efficiency and sustainability.
Reduced latency and bandwidth are top drivers for edge data centers, with the internet of things and artificial intelligence being the most important applications.
A rapid rise in the concentration of processor thermal power will have far-reaching consequences, not only for servers but for facility design and operations.
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.
Data center operators can combine existing reliability, resiliency and performance metrics with freshly minted sustainability benchmarks to convey a compelling IT system efficiency message.
This series of Uptime Intelligence reports guides managers and responsible operators through the complex set of issues involved in creating an environmental sustainability strategy for data centers and associated digital infrastructure.
Cloud computing has evolved to provide more options for resiliency and performance. Understanding these options is crucial for technology buyers, given that the frequency and impact of cloud outages is likely to increase.
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.
In this report, Uptime Institute Intelligence looks beyond the obvious trends for 2022 and identifies some potentially challenging issues. These include sustainability reporting, supply chain problems and cloud concentration risk.
Avoiding downtime remains a top priority for all managers of critical infrastructure. But as technology changes, and as the demands placed on IT change, so do the types, frequency and impacts of outages, as well as the best practices in outage…
What are the main causes of outages? Which industries suffer most? Why? What is the impact? Uptime Institute presents and analyzes annualized outage data for 2016-2019, pinpointing trends, causes and impacts.
European officials have long eyed the rise of the big US cloud companies with suspicion and envy. Among their concerns is the European Union’s reliance on non-European providers of cloud computing and a need for ”data sovereignty,” or giving…
