Total power usage effectiveness (TUE = ITUE x PUE) counts power lost inside IT equipment that standard PUE ignores. AI racks lose measurable power to fans, power supplies, and voltage regulator modules before it reaches the GPU die. Calculating TUE…
Summary: Published guidance on data center UPS failure usually stops at prevention of failures. Test batteries, maintain transfer switches, monitor warning signs. But what happens after a failure, when someone must decide what stays on and what gets cut before…
Data center water leakage programs were built around raised-floor piping and CRAH units, not the cooling loop running through the rack. Direct liquid cooling and CDUs put leak points inside the rack, past where under-floor rope sensors are positioned to…
ASHRAE’s recommended envelope, 18 to 27 degrees Celsius, applies at the equipment air intake, not the room average. Allowable ranges widen from Class A1 to A4, so the ‘right’ upper limit depends on what hardware the room runs. Most facilities…
Alpha Compute has signed a binding term sheet for a planned 200 MW natural gas-powered data center campus in Pennsylvania. The agreement includes the option to expand the campus to as much as 1 GW of capacity. The project adds…
Riot Platforms is reportedly evaluating a potential AI data center transaction valued at $16.1 billion. The deal, as described, targets up to $8.2 billion of net operating income. The report signals continued momentum for Bitcoin miners repositioning as AI and…
PJM is weighing reliability requirements for data centers after nearly 3,800 MW of Northern Virginia demand transferred to onsite generation during a grid disturbance, the second event of its kind in two years. The July disturbance began with a mechanical…
Bitdeer has secured a $4.7 billion AI data centre lease in Norway, according to Indiatimes. The deal adds large-scale AI compute capacity to Bitdeer’s Nordic footprint. Indiatimes did not disclose the site, capacity, or lease term in its report. Bitdeer…
PPL Electric’s AI data center demand pipeline now totals 31.8 GW, with 11 GW under signed agreements. A PPL-Blackstone joint venture has secured sites in Pennsylvania to build up to 14 GW of new generation. The figures point to sustained,…
Furukawa Electric is investing 100 billion yen to expand its optical fiber production capacity. The move responds to rising demand for high-speed connectivity tied to AI data center buildouts. The investment adds to a wave of fiber and interconnect capacity…
