Reducing energy use and keeping qualified staff are top of mind for data center operators, according to Uptime Institute’s latest annual global data center survey.
“Digital infrastructure managers are now most concerned with improving energy performance and dealing with staffing shortfalls, while government regulations aimed at improving data center sustainability and visibility are beginning to require attention, investment, and action,” said Andy Lawrence, executive director, Uptime Intelligence.
Other key management concerns revolve around planning for future growth. Data center managers are having trouble forecasting demand, for example. In addition, lingering supply chain issues are making it difficult to procure the equipment they need to support an expanding array of digital services, Uptime found.
