The Hybrid Data Center
Today, data centers aren’t what they used to be. In recent years, data centers have transformed from large physical spaces filled with racks of gear and critical infrastructure into a broad variety of new forms of computing. Virtualization, SaaS and cloud computing are now key elements of most organization’s data center environment and absolutely must be considered and analyzed when deciding how to relocate your data center.
The truth is – data center relocation events are the perfect time to consider moving data off individual physical servers and into more efficient, and often less expensive, computing environments. But how do you decide which applications to move and where to move them? How do you ensure that business needs will still be satisfied while meeting regulatory and security standards? And just how do you measure the efficiency gains and potential savings over the long haul?
TDS works hand in hand with our clients to answer these questions, and we can assist with everything from the upfront financial analysis, all the way through to solution design, vendor selection and data migration
Our proprietary TDS CostModelerTM tool was specifically developed to analyze and compare the costs of various computing environments. TDS will help you understand exactly what it costs to turn up an image at an in-house or co-located data center versus a cloud-based deployment.
But cost isn’t everything, and no one understands the far reaching impact of cloud relocations better than TDS. Contact TDS to set up a short project review to better understand all the criteria to consider as part of your overall data center transformation
