Read moreTL;DR Singapore’s EDB and IMDA provisionally allocated 200 MW of new data centre capacity equally among Digital Realty, Equinix, Keppel Data Centres, and ST Telemedia Global Data Centres under the…
Read moreTo most data center operators, the benefit of redundant power and cooling systems is self-evident. Additional systems provide a backup in case of failure. A data center with redundant equipment…
Read moreTL;DR The global data center immersion cooling market is projected to expand from USD 1.7 billion in 2025 to USD 10.9 billion by 2035 at a 19.8% CAGR, propelled by…
Read moreTL;DR Floating data center site selection is a system design decision rather than a simple real estate exercise, requiring location, engineering, and regulation to be managed in parallel to solve…
Read moreAlthough many data center operators remain optimistic about the use of AI tools in operations, expectations of AI’s ability to reduce human error is declining. According to Uptime Institute’s 2026…
Read moreTL;DR Plant validation does not equal rack validation: Using a temporary load to walk a coolant distribution unit (CDU) up to 1 MW confirms the primary facility loop and heat…
Read moreTL;DR Driven by the rapid growth of AI, cloud computing, high-performance computing (HPC), and edge deployments, rack power densities are rising sharply, making Power Distribution Unit (PDU) architecture a vital…
Read moreTL;DR Cooling accounts for a significant share of a data center’s total energy draw, so thermal management can directly impact operating costs. Hot-aisle and cold-aisle containment separate intake and exhaust…
Read moreTL;DR In January 2026, the first operational orbital data center nodes were launched into low Earth orbit by Axiom Space and Kepler Communications, transitioning space-based computing from a theoretical concept…
