Along with increasing amount of IT devices and systems installed in modern enterprises, more and more data is generated and transported everyday between physical equipment and virtual spaces, like the cloud. In order to efficiently and effectively store and manage these quantities of data, it’s becoming necessary to build a data infrastructure that can accommodate in-house data centers or that can be outsourced to cloud service providers. Whether the data infrastructure is internal or external, the main purpose is to gather process and store the data under stable and secure conditions to ensure uninterrupted operation for the enterprises.
Challenges & Requirements
Data centers can employ a wide variety of different IT equipment, all requiring non-stop power distribution, ventilation, and cooling systems. With all these conditions, data centers must still perform critical applications where memory failures are not an option and highly reliable, uninterrupted service is mandatory.
