Server Hosting and Data Center Outsourcing
Solutions From CIO-On-Call
How secure are you business data and
the systems that support it?
-
 Do you have a well designed
Data Center/Room with Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS) and
Generator Backup in the event of power loss, Fire Suppression
and Air Conditioning?
- Is your Data Center
fed from multiple power grids in the event of a power
failure?
- Are your
communications circuits delivered from multiple
vendors in case one fails, using multiple
circuits and central offices and coming through
multiple penetrations through different sides of
your building?
Unless you were able to answer yes to
all of these questions, your systems are not currently housed in an
environment designed to continue operating through some of the most
common and simplest events, such as brownouts or blackouts, or a
communications loss by something as simple as a cable severed by a
backhoe digging a trench on the street.
More likely, if you are a small to mid
size firm, you have a small room dedicated to housing your servers
with a few UPS units connected to one or two key servers, or you may
actually have the servers located under desks or on a shelf in a
back room with no protection at all. This is extremely
dangerous for a number of reasons. The systems are not secure,
all employees have access. In addition, your systems will
become useless if there is a power loss, or if communications to the
outside world is lost. Power spikes, lightning hits or a
spilled drink can turn an expensive server into a doorstop.
The real loss, however, is the loss of productivity when your staff
can't work, or the cost of replacing the data contained on your
systems.
The cost of a systems outage can be
substantial, and it is totally avoidable. These losses can be
totally prevented by providing a robust Data Center environment that
provides protection against power loss, communications loss, fire,
etc. While the cost of building an appropriate Data Center
environment is very high, this cost can be totally avoided by
locating your systems in our outsourced data center.
