- Buying Criteria
- Consolidation
- Consolidation is a high priority for many IT managers as they struggle to reduce the server sprawl that is taking place within the data centres, and the cost for power cooling, maintenance and management associated. They also struggle to increase the efficiency (e.g., utilization rates) within the ICT environment.
- Business Continuity
- IT managers place demands on maximum uptime for the ICT environment. This includes redundancy, site-mirroring, storage and back-up. Equally, there are also demands on planning how to restore data if an outage occurs by human or natural events.
- Portfolio Depth and Pricing
- This measures the breadth and depth of the Data Centre Services portfolio and considers how services are priced.
- Performance and Scale
- IT Managers place high demands on SLAs, the ability to view metrics in near real-time and whether service credits are issued proactively while scale considers the physical number of data centre facilities across Europe and globally to meet MNC demands.
