What are the cost components of your data center? How are you spending money to maintain your computing environment?
In-house data centers spend money on
- Floor space or real estate
- Power to the servers and network equipment (sometimes untracked)
- Power to the air conditioners needed to cool the server and network equipment (often untracked)
- Generators, power conditioning/UPS, HVAC systems
- Security systems
- Maintenance of the generators, HVAC and UPS ad security equipment
- FTE support for the facilities side of IT
- Bandwidth and transport: limited choices and retail pricing from telecom carriers
Companies using outsourced data centers often spend on
- Rack space in shared environments
- Power costs based on something other than usage
- Expensive private suites
- Bandwidth and transport: limited choices and retail pricing from telecom carriers
Regardless, companies often purchase inferior services:
- No hardened data center facilities, or facilities not built to withstand a regional disaster
- Limits on power per rack, cooling and space that can drive up future costs
- Significant single points of failure in the power and cooling systems
- Time and money for internal IT resources to solve facilities and physical plant problems
