The Data Center as a Strategic Business Asset

The Data Center as a Strategic Business Asset

February 9, 2016 by Robert Hayes

Data centers can be a significant business asset.The successful management of large amounts of data has become increasingly relevant for businesses in recent years. And while it is certainly important for companies to invest wisely in analytics and productivity tools to help them successfully collect and use data, it is crucial that businesses do not underestimate the role that the data center plays in the fiscal success of the business.

In today’s business and IT landscape, the data center is no longer simply an essential IT function; it is an important business asset. Considering the wide array of data center partnerships available, it is important that both IT and business stakeholders understand how data center choice can positively impact the business in terms of access, service, and revenue.

Access Is Money

In the modern business environment, access to resources that are hosted online has a direct financial correlation. Whether it’s a credit card processing system, a corporate database, or the Internet, it is crucial that an organization’s employees and their customers can access the resources they need to keep the business moving.

It important that companies have fast, real-time access to the resources hosted in a data center, and the loss of that access can be detrimental to a business. Downtime can result in a missed purchasing opportunity, a halt in internal productivity, and decreased customer trust, among other effects.

Service

Hosting services such as disaster recovery and 24/7 support are assets to any business. The ability to seamlessly failover in the event of an outage is invaluable. Data center partners often have a 24/7 service offering through which someone is always monitoring the infrastructure, and resources are available to help if needed. It is expensive and difficult to hire, train, and retain similar resources in-house.

Data Centers as a Revenue Source

Depending on the industry, data centers can serve as an additional source of revenue for the business. For example, software and telecom solution providers can leverage data center space to provide a hosted offering to their customers. This helps diversify the overall solution suite, in addition to adding an offering that is in high demand to the company’s existing list of products and services.

Choose Wisely

The right data center partnership can turn the data center into a valuable asset, while the wrong partner may cause irreparable harm to the business in the case of an outage or breach. It’s important that decision makers understand how the data center can impact the bottom line for better or for worse as they make this selection.
