Water cold plates still lead DLC adoption — but more enterprise operators are considering dielectric cold plates than last year

Two-phase immersion was expected to revolutionize data center cooling, but proved difficult to implement. Is interest peaking again?

Air-assisted direct liquid cooling systems offer trade-offs that make them attractive to operators

Germany’s Energy Efficiency Act, with its demands for a PUE of 1.2, has reignited a debate: can a data center be both highly available and highly efficient?

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

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

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

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

Data center availability standards are built around legacy technology. We need a framework that can include new thinking

Uptime Institute admits problems with multi-level certification, and its critics have a field day
