The increasing visibility of the data center sector, partly due to the significant growth in aggregate energy use and carbon emissions within the sector, has led to increased scrutiny of data centers’ individual and collective environmental footprint and sustainability strategies by regulators, legislators, customers and investors. Learn how to identify which sustainability initiatives can help reduce the environmental impact and operating expenses of different data center operating modality and deployment architecture without compromising the availability and resiliency of mission-critical digital infrastructure.

Assessing Data Center Sustainability: Benchmarking and Best Practices

Join us for 2024’s annual benchmark review of the impacts, costs and changing types and frequency of crucial infrastructure failures. Outages remain a major industry concern despite improving technology and better management of availability. Uptime Institute draws lessons from global outages data.

Annual Outage Analysis 2024

The arrival of regulatorily mandated, climate-related financial disclosure and operational information and key performance indicators reporting for IT operations in 2024 and beyond requires the Digital Infrastructure industry to reimagine its approach to two-way operational information exchange.   Colocation, cloud, and IT operators need to establish standardized data exchange processes to simplify required information exchanges and guide legislators and regulators as they seek to increase the operational transparency of the digital infrastructure industry.

Whose Problem? Effective Data Exchange Amongst Colos, Cloud Operators & Tenants

Uptime Intelligence looks beyond the more obvious trends of 2024 and identifies and examines some of the latest developments and their associated limitations. Strong demand for IT and increasingly high-density IT systems, along with the need to meet tough sustainability requirements, will drive a new wave of investment. Operators will be forced to respond to issues around scale and complexity, as well as innovations in cooling, software and power, while engineering will be pushed to new limits. Join us for an exciting webinar that will cover Uptime Intelligence’s team’s top five issues in its 2024 Outlook.

Five Data Center Predictions for 2024

Uptime will discuss both the most appropriate systems for data center controls and efficiency, along with what works best - and why.

The Promise of AI and its Impact on Data Center Operations

Digital infrastructure managers are monitoring IT and facilities equipment energy consumption and instantaneous performance in real time. Most are not collecting and aggregating the data to assess and report data center continual improvement in sustainability performance. This webinar will explore the data management process improvements necessary to track and report work per energy performance to meet customer expectations and regulatory mandates.

Collecting/Aggregating Operating  Data to Demonstrate Sustainability Performance

As enterprise systems become increasingly complex, and underlying data centers become hyperconnected with more systems and services, the surface area for cyberattacks on IT systems and operational technology environments in data centers has expanded exponentially. Join our discussion to learn about what you need to do to protect your critical infrastructure from malicious cyber attacks.

Understanding Digital Infrastructure Cybersecurity in an Interconnected World

The carbon accounting debate is bringing a laser focus to Scope 3 emissions, implying that these emissions are material, quantifiable and actionable. In fact, emissions values are quantifiable for some categories, educated guesstimates of others. This webinar will evaluate the methodologies to account for emissions from IT operations in cloud and colocation facilities and embedded carbon in IT equipment purchases and discuss their management as part of a net zero.

Critical Scope 3 Accounting: Quantifying Cloud, Colo & Embedded Carbon Emissions

The data center industry is experiencing massive growth, but making smart investments requires understanding a wide range of complex factors. 
This session will describe 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.

Navigating Data Center Expansion in 2024

In this webinar, members of the Uptime Intelligence team discuss some common digital infrastructure sustainability myths, misunderstandings, and poorly understood areas. They discuss how some of these commonly held beliefs may be affecting sustainability policies, and advise on building better sustainability strategies.

Digital Infrastructure Sustainability: Common Myths and Their Implications

Uptime has delivered assessments of data center operations for over a decade. This webinar will go through what we've learned and how those lessons can be applied to stabilize your organization in the face of changing climate conditions, macroeconomic challenges and fluctuating corporate strategies.

Managing Data Center Complexity During Times of Intermittent Chaos

The data center industry's largest and most influential survey results are in! Join us as we discuss the 13th Annual Uptime Global Data Center Survey 2023 which reveals an industry that is growing, dynamic and increasingly resilient. Spending on data centers and related services is strong, despite persistent staffing shortages, and supply chain delays. Creating a more environmentally sustainable footprint is a major and growing focus as operators brace for heightened scrutiny, regulations and reporting requirements coming into fruition. Hear about these findings and more, presented by our expert Uptime team.

Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey Results 2023

IT efficiency can offer the keys to unlocking a more sustainable, efficient, and reliable data center. A data center manager’s deployment of power management, higher hardware utilizations, consolidations with hardware refresh, well-engineered cloud instances, and more efficient software can generate space and equipment reductions while increasing the work per MWh of the data center. This webinar discussion will provide quantified examples of improvements in business and environmental performance.

Transactions per megawatt-hour: Keys to increasing data center efficiency

According to Uptime Institute's Supply Chain Survey results, 75% of organizations in North America have experienced supply chain delays. The challenges initially driven by the pandemic have been exacerbated by global conflict. With organizations already stretching the life-cycles of installed equipment, how do we stay ahead of equipment and spares shortages that could leave us vulnerable?

Staying Above Water During Supply Chain Troubles

The European Union Parliament and commission have agreed on the final Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) data center requirements. What does this mean for operators with a presence in the EU and what does it foretell for global data center regulation?

EU's Energy Efficiency Directive: its implications for the EU and beyond

The efficiency of the digital infrastructure industry is being scrutinized by legislators, regulators, investors and other interested stakeholders. This webinar explores some of the options available to communicate IT system efficiency and work delivered per unit of energy consumed.

IT Metrics - Challenges and Opportunities
