Executive Insight Series: Climate Change and the Risk to Data Centers

Global changes to weather patterns are resulting in a higher volume of extreme weather events. Data centers and digital infrastructures must be rigorously assessed in order to be more prepared for natural disasters in the years and decades ahead. This guide examines four major impacts of climate change, discusses how those changes will impact data center owners and operators and provides actionable strategies to prepare for and mitigate the increasing risks associated extreme weather events around the world.

Top 10 Data Center Industry Trends for 2019

The data center industry is changing and growing at a striking pace. Large build-outs are causing supply-chain strains and skill shortages, while innovations in networking, power, and resiliency are creating new opportunities, but creating challenges as well. In this report, the Uptime Institute Research team takes a deep look into what changes data center owners, managers, and operators should expect in 2019.

Smart Energy for the Data Center

In the data center, “smart energy” is not a widely known or applied concept. It may be conflated with other concepts, such as “intelligent power management” or “software-defined power,” that may or may not have the same meaning. However, all these ideas, taken at their broadest and most aspirational, are similar and share the same ultimate goals of enabling data centers to lower energy consumption, reduce over-provisioning and capital costs, and maintain redundancy and efficiency at reduced costs. This report from Uptime Institute Intelligence takes a deeper look at the technologies, barriers to adoption and market forces that are driving smart energy for the data center.

Capacity Planning in a Hybrid World

Hybrid cloud and hybrid IT environments are bringing new complexities to capacity management and demand forecasting. Global organizations are adopting various strategies, so the impact on demand/capacity can vary greatly. Managers and strategists are seeking to better understand the capacity impact of choices available to them. And certain key technologies, such as public cloud services, virtualization, and IT hardware selection, can play a crucial role. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, Uptime Institute Intelligence research suggests there are select areas worth investigating and integrating into any capacity management and forecasting strategy. Specific recommendations are listed at the end of this summary report.

Publicly Reported Outages 2018-19

Critical systems and data centers are immeasurably more reliable than they were two or three decades ago. Despite this, Uptime Institute's research finds that major failures are not only still common, but that the consequences are high, and possibly higher than in the past - a result of our high reliance on IT systems in all aspects of life. The findings discussed in this report help to extend the industry's understanding of the type, range, causes, and extent of outages, providing some lessons.

DCIM: Effective Selection and Deployment Trends

Despite many false starts, data center infrastructure management (DCIM) software is now regarded as essential for running modern, flexible and efficient data centers. Uptime Institute’s 2019 global industry survey found that 42% of data center designers, consultants and suppliers said most of their customers are now deploying DCIM. This report looks at both key selection criteria for choosing a DCIM solution and key trends around successful deployments of DCIM in the enterprise and colocation markets.

Data Center Staffing: The Operational Skills Shortage

Data center owners and operators have long been concerned about a lack of qualified, available staff. The number, size and job needs of facilities have grown very rapidly — faster than colleges, recruitment practices and salaries have adapted. In this report, the Uptime Institute Intelligence team looks into key factors contributing to the staffing shortage and how some critical facility teams are adapting to the challenge.

2020 的数据中心行业十大趋势

Uptime Institute’s examination of some of the top trends in data centers in 2020 shows an industry that is confidently expanding, especially at the edge, attracting new investors and increasingly embracing new technologies. But it also faces some challenges — particularly in the areas of resiliency, staffing, environmental impact and energy use.

Data Center Management Software: Critical Procurement Considerations

A number of crucial strategic and tactical considerations should be underscored when assessing a DCIM system. This report, the second in a two-part series, details considerations that may not be obvious to all data center managers or may not be top of mind for many.

Beyond PUE: Tackling IT’s Wasted Terawatts

Analysis of data center energy efficiency trends over the past decade, supported by detailed power usage data from over 300 data centers, shows that significant improvements have been made. However, Uptime Institute’s analysis also shows that very substantial energy reduction opportunities still remain untapped. While gains in mechanical and electrical efficiency have stalled over the past few years, it remains that over 65% of the power used by IT in data centers is used to process just 7% of the work, due to aging equipment inefficiencies. But if it is time for operators to pay more attention to IT energy efficiency, they need to do their analysis carefully: the slowdown in Moore’s law is creating new complications.

Best-in-class data center provisioning

In recent years, there has been a revolution in data center construction. Highly efficient, large-scale data centers are being provisioned faster and more cheaply than ever before, enabling a rapid build-out of IT and cloud capacity. This Uptime Institute report focuses on best practices and best-in-class provisioning: Which technologies and processes are being used? What are the best-achievable costs, efficiencies and provisioning times?

Demand and speculation fuel edge buildout

Demand for private and shared edge data centers is starting to grow from low numbers. Certain edge workloads, the strategies of large cloud providers, and the speculative deployments of supporting 5G networks are fueling edge data center buildouts. However, the complexity of edge business cases and other factors threaten to suppress demand.

A greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal is a key part of a sustainability strategy for any data center. A comprehensive sustainability strategy for data center operators includes a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goal that encompasses Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, addressing data center operations and critical suppliers.

Reducing the Energy Footprint

Energy consumption by data centers has a significant environmental impact — i.e., greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions — and has a significant operating cost. Operations teams should develop a comprehensive plan for measuring energy consumption, collecting data and calculating metrics for all energy-consuming systems.

IT Efficiency: The Critical Core of Digital Sustainability

IT equipment is the biggest consumer of energy in an organization’s critical digital infrastructure. A range of tools and techniques can be applied to improve utilization and efficiency, and a menu of IT sustainability metrics is available to support and communicate any improvements made in IT work delivered per unit of energy.

Public Cloud Costs Versus Resiliency: Stateless Applications

To improve the resiliency of an application deployed in a public cloud, it is common to distribute it across data centers. This can be straightforward and inexpensive — but does not guarantee availability. This report quantifies the costs, levels of resiliency and outage compensation of different stateless cloud application architectures.

Three Key Sustainability Elements: Water, Circularity and Siting

As part of a sustainability strategy, data center managers must address water use, 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.
