The advantages of using a data center

Blog provided by Electric Kitten

There are many advantages of data centers. Some include:

Increased security – A data center is a more secure environment than typical office or home settings. Data centers have layers of security, including restricted access, monitored alarms and cameras, and controlled climate conditions. All this runs around the clock with regular audits and inspections to ensure compliance.

Redundancy – Data centers have multiple power sources and redundant internet connectivity to ensure that your applications and services are always available. Some data centers have direct connectivity to internet gateways and submarine cables. In addition, the redundancy also applies to every critical system, such as, air conditioning, road access, security, and contractors.

Scalability – A data center can easily accommodate your current needs as well as future growth requirements. With the proper planning, a data center can grow with your business without costly downtime or disruption to service. Check with the data center in advance on available capacity to plan in your expected growth levels over the next five to ten years.

Efficiency – Data centers use energy efficiently thanks to innovations in cooling technology and best practices for powering equipment racks.

These are just a few of the many advantages of using a data center, and broadly apply to everyone. However, there are also benefits such as cost, convenience, peace-of-mind, human resources, etc., that make it even more of an advantage for some businesses.
