Data center migration site selection is an important first step. Centralized data centers can enable enterprises to better operate business, but also reduce costs, if the data center reliability is high, you can meet the needs of their business. Usability is one of the three major focuses of data center design, and the other two focuses on scalability and flexibility. The failure of the data center will affect the business operation of the entire enterprise, so it is necessary to ensure that the enterprise data center can operate normally in any natural disasters or man-made disasters. The implementation of distributed data centers will solve this problem and provide higher scalability and availability.
Problems in site selection
When the data center becomes unavailable, the enterprise will undertake direct and indirect losses. Direct loss is easy to quantify: loss of income and extra cost. The indirect cost is not obvious, but it may cause most of the losses, including the relevant laws, contracts and regulatory obligations, as well as the loss of customer satisfaction.
It's hard to recover from downtime losses. According to Gartner, the survey group, two of the five companies that suffered 5 years of disaster ended up failing. According to another research report from META group, the average cost of data center downtime is $330 thousand, and for the data centers of large companies, it will be estimated to be as high as $1 million. This has led many companies to build and operate multiple data centers so that their data center infrastructure is always available.
Data center migration location service
Data Center Realty (DCR) believes that the six major elements that people can follow in the process of data center location, here are two choices of data center location service. One is to choose a suitable area for building data centers. The two is to check and evaluate the location of the selected data centers.
Here are six factors to consider in the data center site:
Threat of natural disasters: whether it is close to flood sensitive areas, earthquake areas, etc..
Threat of physical location: does it include multi tenant occupancy, approach parking area and loading dock?.
Terrorist threat: is it close to high risk targets?
Environmental pollution threat: is it close to the manufacturing and storage areas of hazardous materials?
Accessibility of data centers: are they close to major roads and airports?
Data center facility access: is it close to metropolitan areas?
To ensure the timeliness and cost effectiveness of web search, DCR uses databases with data center performance. In order to ensure the availability of access, many customers are more willing to establish second data centers to minimize the impact of disasters.
Choosing the right place saves money and time
According to the central location service, it will ensure that users build data centers with more sustained availability. Choosing a suitable place to stay away from natural disasters or human threats is the first step in the planning and design data center. DCR provides usability analysis when users select data center facilities, which saves a lot of time and money.
