While much has been written, said and taught about data center sustainability, there is still limited consensus on the definition and scope of an ideal data center sustainability strategy. This lack of clarity has created much confusion, encouraged many operators to pursue strategies with limited results, and enabled some to make claims that are ultimately […]| Uptime Institute Blog
“Reasoning” models — and their offshoots, such as “deep research” — have emerged as a major trend in generative AI, helping improve the accuracy and reliability of responses to complex problems. However, this approach significantly increases the computational costs of generating responses. The imitation of reasoning means a higher consumption of server capacity, requiring additional […]| Uptime Institute Blog
Many grid operators are struggling to meet customer power demands — in both volume and quality. As demand rises, utilities must also monitor and account for customer usage patterns that can degrade power quality (and add costs) for others on the grid. A 2024 Bloomberg analysis revealed a concentration of residential power issues occurring near […]| Uptime Institute Blog

When it comes to generative AI models, the belief that bigger is better is an enduring one — shaping a wide array of high-stakes decisions from corporate investments to energy and permitting policy to technology export controls. A defining technical feature in the pursuit of ever-bigger models is denser compute hardware. This makes sense: as […]| Uptime Institute Blog
Snyk is delighted to announce a significant milestone for our customers and partners in the Asia-Pacific region: the launch of a dedicated Snyk API & Web infrastructure instance, which is now available and hosted locally within the region.| Snyk
The pace of technological change is always fast, but with AI everywhere, things have gone into overdrive. In Australia and New Zealand, businesses plan to spend heavily on generative AI—about $15 million on average, more than the global average. This puts immense pressure on technology, security, and engineering leaders.| Snyk
Major publicly reported outages in 2024 were longer and, therefore, more impactful than in previous years because of the growing number of ransomware attacks, according to data compiled by Uptime Intelligence. The data also shows an increase in the proportion of outages that were caused deliberately. The latest data relating to major publicly reported outages […] The post Publicly reported outages see increase in deliberate attacks appeared first on Uptime Institute Blog.| Uptime Institute Blog
Water use has become a benchmark metric for data center operational efficiency and sustainability, as well as a frequent target of community criticism. Operators should track and optimize their water use to protect the environment and secure the facility cooling’s autonomy when its capacity relies on water. However, water use does not fit into a […]| Uptime Institute Blog
The Consortium for Information and Software Quality estimated that the cost of poor software quality in the United States reached $2.41 trillion in 2022. As we will show, it makes sense that the cost of poor software quality is so high. It’s also completely avoidable, and software flaws must be avoided with the world’s increased dependency on software.| Snyk
The enthusiasm for generative AI is attracting serious investment, and the associated power and cooling requirements will pose a significant challenge for the data centers that house it. Upcoming AI training clusters will escalate silicon power and rack density to unprecedented heights, upending infrastructure design conventions and accelerating the adoption of cold plate and immersion […] The post AI embraces liquid cooling, but enterprise IT is slow to follow appeared first on Uptime Inst...| Uptime Institute Blog
One of the most significant differences between cloud and traditional (i.e., non-cloud) software is how resiliency is built into the applications. When architecting a cloud application, the onus is on software developers to architect resiliency in their application architecture. Conversely, in a more traditional application, data center teams, infrastructure engineers and software developers work together […]| Uptime Institute Blog

Generative AI has created a surge in demand for large-scale clusters of GPUs. AI models need training, and this is vastly accelerated by using GPUs. These clusters parallel process many mathematical functions within the neural network software architectures that enable generative AI to classify and predict. However, clusters of this size are expensive and require […]| Uptime Institute Blog
Projections of data center capacity growth have exploded with the emergence of AI infrastructure and the continuing expansion and integration of standard IT functionality into the global economy.
