COVID-19 has impacted the business landscape across the globe, and the data center sector is no exception. The rise in remote working and the surge in demand for data has put the data center sector in the spotlight, as more and more data need to be processed and stored.
Companies that were taking the cautious approach to using cloud now have no choice but to embrace it as they cannot scale up their internal capability quickly enough. As part of this, they are now looking more favorably at leasing data center space. However, while data can be moved to the cloud in a matter of minutes, leasing data center space can take months when fit out is included, especially given that current spike in demand, which has resulted in data center spaces showing record occupancy.
Finding the Right Data Center for Your Needs
Not all data centers are created equal. To find the right one for you, it’s important to examine our needs. Important factors to consider include:
Regulatory requirements and compliance
For example, many banking and fintech companies need to meet rigorous regulatory requirements for data storage. It’s important to check whether the data center provider can do so.
Geographic location
For minimal latency, it’s preferable to have your data center located close to users. On the other hand, you may also wish to diversify your data center location away from your premises, to safeguard against geographic disasters.
Security features
As cyberattacks and corporate espionage rises, it’s important to check as to the security features of the data center provider, both in terms of digital security and physical checks.
Connectivity
Obviously, your data center should be able to provide reliable and secure connectivity with guaranteed SLA in line with your needs.
Power generation
All data centers should have back up power generators in case of loss of power from the main source.
Disaster mitigation
Do ask about their disaster mitigation protocols. They should be able to answer with a comprehensive list of actions.
Flexibility
Some data centers require you to use to exclusively use the carrier they work with, while others are carrier-neutral.
