Data Center: The Double-Edged Sword
There is one immutable truth that cuts across the enterprise market – the data center is king. Treat it well and the rewards will be legion, a more nimble, agile organization that can outflank the competition, provide competitive advantage and delight customers, both internal and external. It can turn a cost-center into a profit-center and make the IT staff look like rock stars.
The other side of the equation is an outdated, unpatched network with limited capabilities that requires inordinate expenses to keep limping along. Frustrated and demoralized employees and customer churn are the rewards.
Chasing the next big networking fad can be daunting, disruptive and a great way to burn through cash. Old is new again. Is the promise of cloud computing that far removed from grid/utility computing and virtualization? Technology advances make the solutions compelling, but are they mature enough to bet the company on? It doesn’t really matter if the data center in the enterprise isn’t sophisticated, transparent, powerful and robust.
Key advances in technology are poised to enable enterprises to significantly lower operational and capital expenditures and recoup their investment while getting game-changing technological business capabilities.
The landscape can be confusing and contradictory, as tradeoffs in the data center architecture can yield an exhaustive matrix. Bleeding-edge technology can deliver cool and useful capabilities, but if it does so at the cost of network uptime, the technological advantage may be negated. Or maybe not, depending on your business case. That’s why a trusted, experienced, expert partner is critically important.
We ask. We listen. We collaborate with our customers to determine their exact requirements for today, tomorrow and the coming years. We then collaborate with our partners (all industry heavyweights and luminaries) to meet those requirements to deliver the best possible network to meet the business case of our customers now and well into the future.
Specialized networks – that’s all we do. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter approaches – we don’t have cookie-cutter customers.
