Organisations are on a perennial quest to reduce costs and increase their business focus with the power of data. There is an increased emphasis on unleashing the full potential of technology with the Data Centre (DC) and the corroborating IT infrastructure. Organisations are increasingly looking forward to unlocking data-driven transformation by partnering with the right Data Centre service providers for organisational resilience, business continuity, and cost savings.
The pandemic has further pushed for the growth in digital adoption and IT-infra trends where enterprises are largely gravitating towards colocation and cloud rather than in-house DC. With flexibility, scalability, and state-of-the-art security being guaranteed, they need a reliable and trustworthy partner who can go beyond their basic Data Centre requirements.
Choosing Your Ideal Data Centre Service Partner
There are many factors to consider when choosing a data centre partner but here are our suggestions based on our experience:
- Dedicated Subject Matter Experts across all functions in each Data Centre including Electrical, Mechanical, Building Management System, Health & Safety, Security and Network.
- Cross-industry experience in hosting diverse workloads on carrier-neutral Data Centres.
- Data Centre presence across all regions to serve customers effectively.
- Stringent physical infrastructure security.
- Green Data Centres with energy-efficient devices and processes to reduce energy consumption.
- Sourcing and deploying renewable energy.
- Strong Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) policies.
- Redundant architecture for high resiliency.
- Backup and Disaster Recovery capabilities.
- Partnership with leading Hyperscale Cloud Providers.
- Fast Network connectivity to multiple public clouds.
- Experience in optimising hybrid cloud.
An ideal provider should have a partnership with leading hyperscalers, connectivity to respective public clouds, and experience of optimising the hybrid cloud. With increasing emphasis on environmental safety and sustainability, it is best if your provider uses green data centres which use renewable energy for reducing water usage, electricity consumption, and harmful emissions. A quick way of judging a provider is to look at the overall customer feedback for its services.
