The propensity to confidently give false information likely disqualifies generative AI from operational decision-making. However, this type of AI, with human supervision, could enhance other aspects of data center management.
This session describes the questions organizations need to answer around technology roadmaps, market growth and workload requirements to effectively plan the data center builds of the near future.
Findings from the latest Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey show for the first time that the proportion of IT workloads hosted in on-premises data centers now represents slightly less than half of the total enterprise footprint.
Unpredictable costs and “bill shocks” are a growing problem for organizations running their applications and workloads in the public cloud. FinOps could help enterprises analyze, report and optimize cloud and other IT costs.
The Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey 2023 shows that trust in artificial intelligence as a tool capable of making operational decisions has fallen sharply year on year. What is causing this reaction?
Uptime has delivered assessments of data center operations for over a decade. In this session, we present what we've learned and how those lessons can be applied to stabilize your organization in the face of climate and macroeconomic challenges.
As part of the Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey 2023, data center equipment vendors and consultants were asked about customer spending, supply chains and DCIM adoption. This report highlights the key findings.
The key benefit of cloud computing lies in its on-demand pricing model. This enables organizations to grow or shrink their applications at will without giving the cloud provider any advance notification. Cloud providers can only offer such…
The suitability of a data center environment is primarily judged by its effect on the long-term health of IT hardware. Facility operators define their temperature and humidity set points with a view to balancing hardware failure rates against the…
The Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey highlights the experiences and strategies of data center owners and operators in areas of resiliency, sustainability, efficiency, staffing, cloud and innovative technologies.
IT efficiency can offer the keys to unlocking a more sustainable, efficient, and reliable data center. This session provides quantified examples of improvements in business and environmental performance.
The testing of backup power systems is crucial for ensuring that data center operations remain available through power interruptions. By cutting all power to the facility and replicating a real-world electrical grid failure, pull-the-plug testing…
75% of organizations in North America have experienced supply chain delays. With organizations already stretching equipment life-cycles, how do we stay ahead of equipment and spare shortages that could leave us vulnerable?
The topic of artificial intelligence (AI) has captured the public’s imaginations, and now barely a week goes by without reports of another breakthrough. Among the many, sometimes dramatic predictions made by experts and non-experts alike is the…
Precision time systems to synchronize IT system clocks over the network have proliferated and evolved to meet the needs of reliable, secure applications.
