Successful Data Center Move

Planning a move of any sort can cause significant stress and anxiety for anyone. Planning for a data center move or relocation, however, has the added pressure of potential disruptions to critical business operations and/or data losses that can severely damage an organization's overall business and reputation. Many organizations have recently encountered the possibility of a data center move or relocation. The key business factors driving the decision to go forward with such a large-scale and expensive investment (estimates range from $300 - $400 per foot to move existing equipment and $750 - $1,000 per foot to implement new equipment) as a data center move or relocation include:

Need to upgrade data center facilities
Need to identify cheaper data center facilities
Requirements for redundancy -- business continuity improvements
Physical data center consolidations as a result of mergers and acquisitions

Successful IT Data Center

For most organizations today, the possibility of consolidating Information Technology Data Center (IT-DC) out of remote offices and into the main data center is an idea that has been on the table to cut costs and boost productivity.

Data Center Monitoring

More than ever before, businesses seek to wield IT Data Center as a competitive weapon - one that can help the business satisfy ever-increasing customer requirements. IT Data Center is under pressure to act less as a provider of technology and more as a partner fully engaged with the larger organization to achieve business objectives. To rise to this challenge, IT Data Center must focus on the issue of primary importance to the business - namely customers.

Data Center Fundamentals

As someone who has worked in and help design a couple Data Centers I looked to this book thinking I would find a good reference in design but one which covered much of my own knowledge already. While I wasn't entirely wrong I can honestly say this book holds much more inside it's covers than many much more expensive or comparable books hold combined. Being a `Fundamentals" book it follows true to the nature of not being for the plain interested or uninitiated technical type but then surprised me when I found a majority of the book exceptionally well thought out and explained in ways that even my mother could grasp.
