Whether the average consumer knows it or not, data centers play an increasingly crucial role in our daily lives. From the data our phones use for storing photos and files in the cloud to our work commutations and smart TVs at home, data centers store, process, and manage the data needed to make our connected lifestyles possible. Moreover, advancements in AI technology are further driving the call for data center capacity.
Extreme Heat Risks Summer Power Shortages, Warns Largest US Grid

3 days ago | datacenterknowledge.com | Naureen Malik

(Bloomberg) -- PJM Interconnection, the largest US electric grid serving about 20% of Americans from the Midwest to East Coast, warned that extreme heat this summer could trigger supply shortages for the first time. While PJM expects to have enough power supply to meet typical summer demand, “available generation capacity may fall short of required reserves” under severe conditions that lift demand as high as 166 gigawatts, the grid operator said Friday (May 9).
How to Determine Whether a Cloud Service Delivers Real Value

5 days ago | datacenterknowledge.com | Christopher Tozzi

The cost of cloud services varies widely, but so does the functionality they offer. This means an expensive service may be well worth the price — if the capabilities it offers deliver a great deal of value.
