Criticality and redundancy in the data center
How data centers keep running when there is a failure in the power train

Would you print a data center?
A deep-dive into the different types of UPS systems
Silicon runs on direct current, so why not use DC to power racks?
Why it might make sense to store energy in the racks, instead of in the UPS
It’s cold, it’s renewable, and it’s cheap. But is it ready?
Why worry about efficiency in electrical distribution, when superconductors have no resistance at all?
Dismissed in the 2010s, the idea of running direct current through your building could be set to make a comeback
How the AI boom is changing densities
European countries led by Denmark have plans to connect giant offshore wind farms to new artificial “energy islands” housing hydrogen projects and data centers
As we weather a storm of multiple energy crises, how can a major capital city like London provide power for the future?
There won’t be room for AI in the existing data center metro hubs. So AQ Compute is standing by to plumb it into a hydro-powered facility in Norway
The largest economy in Europe is the first to experience serious legislation relating to data centers
Our biggest issue yet
A primer on connecting UPS systems to the grid
All too often, utility grids can’t provide power when you need it. Data centers are increasingly looking at alternatives
We have heard how great hydrogen will be as an energy source. But how do you get it?
Microsoft has signed a PPA for fusion power. Is this a serious proposition?
As more operators adopt HVO, are the supply chains ready?
We’ve heard talk of nuclear-powered facilities for some years. Could the time have arrived?
The local power landscape can give you autonomy, save money, and maybe provide you with better backup
QTS on how to deploy data centers for hyperscalers in a grid-constrained world
We talk to Alan Howard of analyst firm Omdia and Compass Data Centers' Tony Grayson about SMRs
Can you reach net-zero while helping to provide clean power where the world needs it most? We kick the tires on a new kind of REC
Wind turbines are getting larger, but so are the challenges of deploying them
UPS systems produce a very small part of the emissions from a data center, but operators are being very inventive in ways to reduce them
With electric power grids stressed, and long-term energy supplies in question, data centers may find themselves making more use of diesel backup power in the coming months
On-site solar and wind are growing, but can cell sites ever be independent of the grid at scale?
