Who should attend: IT Infrastructure & Operations professionals
Description:
If you’ve consolidated as much IT infrastructure as you can and your data center is still running out of space and power, you may be thinking about building a new data center. Before you begin, ask yourself this question: If you needed more office space, would you build an office building from the ground up or would you look for a larger, more modern office building to lease? Most companies would likely lease. A new data center represents the same kind of choice, and increasingly it makes more sense to lease data center space. A colocated data center can house your equipment, your IT staff, and potentially a private suite if you require it. Building a modern data center isn’t easy, and a colocated data center will have state-of-the-art security, power, cooling, fire suppression, and network bandwidth. Colocation facilities can also act as disaster recovery sites, provide overflow capacity, and host applications that need more bandwidth or closer proximity to users.
Agenda:
* It’s too expensive to build the next-generation data center.
* Three steps to select the right colocation provider
* Recommendations
