4 Key Decisions while Moving to Colocation or Managed Services?

What will you do when your data centre is reaching the end of its life, supply of power and process of cooling are strained and posing a real challenge for you to keep pace with ever growing capacity demands? Most wisely, you’ll then opt for colocation or managed services. But, does it doing so appear as simple as buying any other services?
The answer is NO, because moving from one data centre solution to colocation or managed services tends to involve a series of considerations. From defining requirements clearly, to finding out the right service provider, negotiating the deal and to migrating to the space, the list of tasks to do is pretty long. They will also take a time. While doing so, 4 things (involved in the whole process of moving to an outsourced provider) need to be kept in mind.
They are as follows:
  • Data security and reliability
  • Various storage options
  • Costs and control over IT hardware
  • 24x7 customer support
In this time of rapidly growing demand for IT services and capabilities, colocation and managed services have truly come out as a right substitution for costly ownership of a data centre. They are not only saving businesses from spending on construction and operation of an expensive data centre, but also giving them respite from the maintenance responsibility of expensive IT hardware of a data centre. By opting for the colocation service, you can now still have the proprietary right and full control over IT hardware.
