There are several reasons why organisations are closing their data centre facilities and moving their IT infrastructure into other data centre providers from a cost, energy, and risk perspective:
Cost: Building and maintaining a data centre is expensive, with high upfront costs for infrastructure, power, cooling, and maintenance. SCC with our award winning data centre facilities can offer lower costs by taking advantage of economies of scale and specialised expertise in operating and maintaining data centres.
Energy efficiency: Energy costs are a significant part of the ongoing operational expenses of data centres.
SCC uses energy-efficient technologies, such as efficient cooling systems, virtualisation, and advanced power management to minimise energy use and reduce costs.
Reducing risk: Operating a data centre involves managing many risks, such as power outages, cooling failures, physical security, and cyber threats.
SCC has specialised expertise in managing these risks and can offer greater redundancy and disaster recovery capabilities to mitigate these risks.
“The data centre is (almost) dead. Specifically traditional on-site data centres. 80% of enterprises will shut down their traditional data centres by 2025, in favour of more agile solutions, such as Colocation data centres.”
Focus on core business: Running a data centre can be a distraction from the core business of your organisation.
By moving to SCC, you can free up resources to focus on your core competencies and strategic priorities such as consulting, software, DevOps and migration/orchestration.
Agility and scalability: SCC can offer greater flexibility and agility to quickly scale up or down IT infrastructure to meet changing business needs. This can be a significant advantage in today's rapidly changing business environment.
