Uptime Institute's 16th Annual Global Data Center Survey reports modal rack density reached 11 kW in 2026, up from 9 kW in 2025, while AI racks such as Nvidia's GB300 NVL72 require up to 142 kW per ra…
North American data center vacancy remains at 1%, but JLL reports that only a very small share of that capacity can support high-density AI deployments, with most vacancies in legacy products. A 5 MW …
Siemens and Reinhausen are developing a solid-state transformer to deliver 800-volt DC power directly to AI datacenter racks, converting medium-voltage AC up to 36 kV into a stable 800 VDC output. The…
Artificial intelligence is forcing a rethink of data center cooling as AI workloads push rack power from 5–10kW to 60kW or more, with some high-end deployments exceeding 100kW per rack and individual …
A guide for engineering students maps Jensen Huang's five-layer AI stack to degree paths, arguing that hiring has tightened at the top of the stack while employers cannot find workers in lower layers.…
Uptime Institute's 16th Annual Global Data Center Survey, released on July 29, finds that 79% of operators report management concern over costs, modal rack density reached 11 kW, and 46% of IT workloa…
Third-party data centers now host 46% of enterprise IT workloads, surpassing corporate-owned facilities for the first time, according to Uptime Institute's 2026 Global Data Center Survey. The survey o…
Third-party data center facilities now host 46% of enterprise IT workloads, surpassing the 44% in corporate-owned data centers for the first time, according to Uptime Institute's 16th Annual Global Da…
Data center sustainability efforts, which had gained traction through voluntary pacts and efficiency standards, have been sidelined by the rapid buildout of generative AI infrastructure, but regulator…
Enterprise AI initiatives are stalling not because of insufficient compute power but because of data-delivery bottlenecks in the infrastructure moving data between storage and GPU clusters, according …
The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) is developing DCE 9000, a new quality management system for data center infrastructure suppliers, to address quality risks in power, cooling, and cont…
A quiet shift is pushing central processing units (CPUs) back into the spotlight for AI inference workloads, driven by total cost of ownership and edge AI demands. Major chipmakers including Intel, AM…
