Can Data Center Maintenance Build Enterprise Value?

Sponsored by DataCenterLeadGen.com

First of all, consider the value of your data center, or the DC facilities that you use, to your business


Most organizations would rapidly grind to a halt if their IT resources became unavailable


That’s a situation that will become increasingly prevalent


No Maintenance for Me, I’m a Dinosaur


How long will it be before infrastructure failure or hackers bring your data center down?


No DC means no business and no survival


Can My Maintenance Be a Value Instead of a Cost?


Is the maintenance of a DC anything other than a necessary evil?


Maintenance can indeed bring about a positive change in net profitability and worth of your business


Spacing out new installations and lengthening refresh cycles will result in overall reductions in net spending


Suddenly, your business is worth more!


Maintenance is Not Management


Managing your cooling systems to adapt hot aisles and cool aisles to changes in system locations and power ratings is the first thing to do


Then and only then, you can focus on maintenance to maintain lower power usage and bills, and, therefore, higher net profitability


The Affliction of Maintenance Myopia


Things change fast in data center technology


New needs brought about by the venue of big data and the Internet of Things (IOT) mean new technology and approaches


Disaggregation is one example:


system components can be scaled separately, instead of imposing a whole new server just because you wanted a few more compute cycles


To Sum Up Our Thought Experiment


Making data center maintenance profitable and building net worth and value is about both doing the right things


(maintaining the right technology, configurations, and priorities)


and doing those things right (good maintenance processes)


Do you and your accounting department see eye to eye on your DC maintenance policies?


Tell us how you position value rather than the cost to make your case convincing
