Dear Santa:
Please bring my organization a data center that can easily meet the rigorous computing requirements of 2012. Let the facility be able to provide the power, cooling, security, connectivity and infrastructure needed to handle Big Data, cloud computing, enterprise mobility, server virtualization and security. Make sure it’s competitively priced; offers access to hundreds of high-speed, low-latency connections; has the capacity for considerable expansion matched with the necessary power output; and the natural security benefits of being located in a rural setting – well outside of harms way.
Santa, I’ve prepared the following list of criteria to ensure my data center is state-of-the-art and ticks all the boxes of a next generation data center:
- Size, scale and flexibility
- Bespoke data center solutions
- High-quality build and infrastructure
- Abundant power (180 MVA available to site)
- Major fiber interconnects
- Multiple layers of security (physical and virtual)
- Eco friendly with 100% renewable energy
- Value for money
- Customer service and support with uncompromising SLAs
Yours Truly,
Any large enterprise or cloud provider
