There’s no question that the data center is now a core part of the business. Entire business capabilities are built around the power of IT solutions inside the data center. This is why it’s more important than ever for any company to select the correct data center strategy, considering a number of crucial factors:
TCO vs risk
Role of cloud or a private colocation
Build vs buy
Impacts on network and overall infrastructure security
How to reduce risk and liability
Remember, data centers can helps organizations stay agile and adapt to fluid market demands. At Data Center World next month, Mark Evanko, principal engineer at BRUNS-PAK, will discuss the major considerations board members and senior management staff should take into account when developing enterprise data center strategy.
Evanko comes with an extensive background in data center architecture and data center strategy. He will guide the audience through understanding sixteen elements to be considered in developing short-term and long-term enterprise data center solutions. He will also talk about enterprise data centers and unresolved liability. Who is responsible when something goes wrong?
“Network security and downtime, and the corresponding liability, is dominating the news,” Evanko said. “If the data center function is provided by third-party party providers (cloud/colo) that have in general no liability for data breaches, hacking, or downtime … what does a board do? We’ll cover major considerations for board and senior management when it comes to developing real-world enterprise data center solutions.”
