More data center operators are establishing 7x24 goals for clean energy consumption, an approach that is consistent with Uptime Intelligence recommendations on clean energy procurement and goals. This webinar assesses the limits of a 7x24 commitment that depends on intermittent solar and wind generation and explores the complications revealed by recent 7x24 contract announcements.

7x24 Renewable Energy

Digital Infrastructure Managers are facing demands from stakeholders and regulators to account for Scope 3 emissions, absent any consensus on reporting standards. This webinar will explore the practical realities and challenges of assessing, managing and reporting Scope 3 emissions.

The Challenges of Managing Scope 3 Emissions

Prolonged supply chain difficulties, high energy prices, and sweeping sustainability mandates — the digital infrastructure sector had its plate full in a tumultuous 2022.  But new uncertainties abound that add more risk to operations and business competitiveness. 
 
Join us for an exciting webinar that will cover the Uptime Institute Intelligence team’s top five issues in its 2023 Outlook. These include geopolitical turbulence, grid disturbances, the end to power abundance, growing scrutiny of enterprise cloud usage, and runaway cooling needs of next-generation chips.

Five Data Center Predictions for 2023

In the coming years, operators of digital infrastructure will be required to report (and reduce) their environmental footprint in a variety of ways, many of them burdensome, some apparently based on insufficient sectoral knowledge. In this webinar, we will outline the key steps that operators should take as they navigate a difficult and changing environment.

IT Infrastructure Sustainability: Practical Steps for Operators

As part of a sustainability strategy, data center managers must address water use and circularity requirements — such as
end-of-life product management and heat reuse — and data center siting and design specifications. Each of these elements
presents challenges, but focused attention will contribute significantly to sustainable data center operations. Join us to hear 
more about this important topic as well as final wrap up commentary on this important series of six sustainability reports.

Three key elements: water, circularity and siting

The data center industry's largest and most influential survey results are in! Join us as we discuss the 12th Annual Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey 2022 which reveals an industry that is growing, dynamic and increasingly resilient. Spending on data centers and related services is strong, despite persistent staffing shortages, supply chain delays and other obstacles. Creating a more environmentally sustainable footprint is a major and growing focus as operators brace for heightened scrutiny, new regulations and reporting requirements. Hear about these findings and more, presented by our Uptime Intelligence team.

Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey Results 2022

Data centers are subject to an expanding set of largely voluntary sustainability standards and requirements covering measurement and reporting, water and energy use, renewable energy procurement, equipment and system efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions management, adherence to a circular economy approach, and siting and design requirements. Investors and customers will increasingly use these standards to make investment and purchasing decisions. Legislators and regulators will use them as the basis of mandates governing the sustainability of operations and periodic sustainability reporting. Any operator hoping to thrive in the data center services marketplace in the next decade will need to meet the requirements of many of these standards. Join this important discussion to hear what you will need to know.

Digital Infrastructure Sustainability: Navigating regulations and standards

Don’t miss this webinar covering the four most common overlooked areas of risk and their potential business impact. With our extensive experience assessing data centers all over the world, we will discuss different areas of risk that we routinely see overlooked, areas that can make a big impact on data center performance and business success. Join us for a compelling discussion.

Four Most Common Overlooked Areas of Risk

IT equipment (servers, storage and networking) accounts for a significant proportion of a data center’s energy use. Unfortunately, IT efficiency often goes unmentioned in sustainability reports.  Data shows a lot of this energy use is wasted, despite efficiency improvements achieved in the last decade.  Today’s discussion provides digital infrastructure professionals an overview of available measurements, metrics and hardware and software tools that can be incorporated in a sustainability strategy to improve IT energy efficiency without reducing performance or resiliency.

IT efficiency: the critical core of digital sustainability

Thermal requirements of next-generation servers and challenging business expectations are gradually moving data center operators toward using direct liquid cooling. This Uptime Intelligence webinar discusses these changes, technology choices, potential benefits as well as the hurdles to overcome before widespread adoption at scale becomes viable.

Direct liquid cooling - pressure is rising but constraints remain

Number two in our Executive Advisory Series will discuss the first objective of a sustainability plan, which is to minimize energy use through efficiency measures, and the benefits realized by replacing electricity from nonrenewable sources with renewably generated energy. The discussion will also cover green house gas emissions reduction goals that take into account Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

Reducing the Energy Footprint and Tackling Green House Gases

Mitigating digital infrastructure risk is critical for financial services organizations. In response to high-profile outages at major financial services firms and increasingly complex hybrid IT architectures in Europe and across the world, regulators have implemented new requirements designed to encourage more effective risk management practices. Failure to comply with the new requirements could result in sanctions and financial penalties. 

Join our webinar to explore the lessons learned from the financial sector and how the financial sector has taken the lead in mitigating digital infrastructure risk and managing regulatory compliance.

Operational Risk in the Financial Sector: Lessons Learned

Uptime's in-depth series of reports is the definitive strategic and practical guide for Digital Infrastructure Sustainability. The first of the related webinar series will discuss defining the key elements to include in a sustainability strategy, the actions necessary for a successful implementation, and the processes required to measure progress against goals and objectives.

Creating a Sustainability Strategy

Mitigating digital infrastructure risk has never been more critical for financial services organizations. In response to recent high-profile outages at major financial services firms and increasingly complex hybrid IT architectures in Europe and across the world, regulators have implemented new requirements designed to encourage more effective risk management practices. Join our webinar to explore these changing requirements and learn how financial services firms can more effectively assess their IT estate to mitigate digital infrastructure outage risks, support critical business services and manage regulatory compliance.

Understanding and Addressing Outage Risks within the Financial Sector

The digital infrastructure sector is booming worldwide as the edge buildout progresses and organizations continue to adapt to the effects of the pandemic. But what emerging challenges lie ahead and what trends will define the coming year? Join us for an exciting webinar that will cover the Uptime Institute Intelligence team’s top five issues for 2022. These include sustainability reporting and the difficulty of achieving zero-carbon emissions, the uneven impacts of processor innovations, supply chain problems and the concentration risk of cloud computing.
