There are many different ways for businesses of all sizes to manage their computing and data storage needs. Traditionally, many companies have used in-house servers for this purpose.
However, in-house servers have an ongoing cost of maintenance over and above the original hardware and installation costs. There are also security and other issues to consider with this option. For most businesses, utilizing the services of a data center is a far better solution.
Data Center Basics
Data centers provide a specific facility designed, constructed, and maintained for housing servers. This means the correct infrastructure, redundant power supplies, and optional conditions for server operation. Most of the data centers are also telecommunication and internet hubs with access to major carriers for increased efficiency and performance.
It also means having technicians on-site 24/7/365. Any signs of hardware or system issues are immediately addressed, resulting in almost 100% uptime for companies and businesses.
Benefits to Your Business
Housing your server at a data center, or using the data center servers to run your business, provides a cost saving. There is also the added benefit of continual maintenance and even the option for managed solutions that reduce your need for IT staff.
Finally, the use of data centers creates a secure location to store your hardware or to store data using the latest in cloud-based technology. These centers offer full cloud-based support, bare metal server solutions, and customized co-location services to meet your needs.
