Your company can spend anything from £20 million to £100 million building a data centre, but without proper management it will rapidly fill up and become inefficient. You new data centre may even become a liability as opposed to the asset it should be.

A properly managed data centre will be efficient, cost effective and secure. Resilience is improved and technical staff can focus on technical issues without having to perform repetitive manual tasks.

This can include any or all of the following:
• Installation and tailoring of management software such as Aperture
• Creation of SLA’s
• Creation and implementation of management processes
• Use and creation of method statements and risk assessments
• Setting up forums to discuss issues and resolutions
• Creation of a Data Centre Management team
• Use of power and temperature monitoring tools
• Standardisation of key infrastructure equipment

DCS can provide consultancy and training to create a management team who will ensure your data centre investment stays efficient and cost effective, maximising its return on investment.
