For the data center market to achieve its projected growth trajectory, it must continue to adopt power-intensive next-generation IT technologies

Growing European data demand is giving rise to increased construction of data center facilities – the Nordic region is emerging as a popular location for this

Organizations can cut cloud carbon emissions and costs by migrating workloads to different regions, if users can tolerate extra latency

Geomagnetic storms can cause disruption and damage, yet few assess the risk or implement protections

Support is split along geographic lines

And can you trust what your business partners say?

Data center operators are squeezed between increasingly power-hungry servers and the demands of sustainability

Dissipating data center waste heat into bodies of water, rather than the atmosphere, can provide efficiency benefits year round

Direct liquid cooling has enormous potential if the industry can get the chemistry right

Most say the industry's environmental commitments are not (yet) effective in curbing data centers' environmental impact

Cloud prices are generally trending downwards. But the inherent flexibility of cloud means providers can easily increase prices too

More data center managers would consider moving mission-critical workloads to a public cloud provider if visibility of operational resiliency improved

Bitcoin’s energy use is controversial, but that is not the whole story

Extreme weather and investor and regulator pressures have encouraged more data center operators to reevaluate their resiliency

Advances in data center cooling and power technology could seriously undermine PUE as a benchmarking tool and eventually spell its obsolescence as an efficiency metric

Industry body expands its climatic recommendations for data centers to address corrosives, high-density servers

Workload needs will define and drive edge buildout.

More edge data centers are coming at last, driven by new or changing workloads, cloud services, and the speculative buildout of 5G networks.

You can shave off some power losses, but your UPS won't isolate your systems so well

OVHcloud was known as a bold innovator. When the cause of the SBG2 fire in Strasbourg is finally revealed, this may be a factor

RECs aren't good enough. We need to move to PPAs and hourly matching of energy consumption

Power problems are no longer the top cause of outages

When we emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic, we will still have global warming to contend with

PUE is a simple metric, but now we've reached levels of efficiency where it could become counter-productive

Even though the cloud offers resiliency, enterprise users are still shifting gradually from N+1 to N+2

Data centers need to ensure they are prepared for climate change

It's not that simple. Here are the details...
