Choosing Data Centres Over In-house Provision
Author: Theodora D. Holm
It seems the world of technology is changing every five minutes, so how is the best way to keep up with the changes and ensure your information is safe and connected? Many top companies are choosing to move responsibility for their IT management over to third parties. These data storage and cloud computer providers are able to give you immediate access to your information, provide a secure environment to save your information and maintain a fast, reliable service for you.
There has been a massive increase in the level of data transfer over the last five years, with not just individuals but also companies Twittering, holding Facebook polls and publishing articles on LinkedIn accounts. All this traffic requires storage, connection and security. This is where data centres such as Telecity come into their own; they are able to provide customers with the necessary network connectivity and storage capacity that the modern multinational corporation requires.
The use of employing a host centre to take charge of your company’s IT requirements also makes perfect economic sense as there are considerably less financial implications on handing over the management of the IT infrastructure to a third party. It is also considerably easier to implement system upgrades and roll out new programs. There is less cost on development and upgrade as all users are simply logging onto a hub, they automatically use the latest version of the company’s system and there is no need for time-consuming system downloads.
The cost of providing a data service centre capable of competing with the best on the planet requires the average power consumption normally reserved for a town of 30,000 people. The costs for setting up such a service is phenomenal and requires a massive investment for the necessary network of systems required to power such a facility. It is ever likely, therefore, that many users prefer to leave this financial outlay to someone else and concentrate on their core business activities leaving the worries over data security, bugs and virus and connectivity speeds to a third party.
Telecity has a massive array of data centres and is well placed to provide its customers with access to fast, reliable and secure places to store information, electronic files and customer information. The level of security necessary for many high-level clients means that it is able to provide a degree of safety that all but the largest corporations can afford and when your client base includes some of the world’s leading organisations you can bet they will have a fast, reliable service.
