According to recent survey data from Uptime Institute, despite a rising focus on environmental sustainability, most data center operators are still not evaluating their water and carbon footprints, or their e-waste disposal programs. However, it is advised that all data centers should be monitoring their environmental impact.

Evident improvements can be seen with water cooling technologies. As such, data centers rely on water to cool and sustain operations. Removing heat from IT facilities is a priority. Water is a primary medium that facilitates the cooling exchange in a data facility.

Thermal camera surveys are part of operational compliance for many organizations.

Thermography detects heat and converts it into an image that you can see.

Datacenter administrators are buying more equipment than ever before. These include critical power and thermal management to racks and enclosures.

Hyperscale data centers are on the rise: there were about 500 of these large-scale facilities in 2019, up 30% from 2017.

Tier IV is not for everyone. One of the myths of Uptime Institute’s tier certification system, according to their website, is that Tier IV is the best.
