Executive Summary 8
Introduction The data centre has more focus today than ever before, with a number of parallel factors triggering this heightened interest: Legacy data centre are no longer good enough to do the job it was designed to do. Increased dependency on IT as a strategic corporate asset. Increased economic pressure in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis. Social and environmental awareness of climate change and carbon emissions. Organisations are engaging with data centre providers for adequate levels of service guarantees in terms of security and reliability requirements. Companies are looking to transform from a capital expenditure (CAPEX) model to an operating expense (OPEX) model by outsourcing the data centre infrastructure management to a provider rather than managing the data centre itself. 9
Introduction (continued) The hosted data centre market is not easy to pin down. Data centre providers lease from or to one another, based on where they need space, the type of space required and how quickly it is needed. Companies that build and lease space in one location may rent from their lessees in another location. Managed Hosting Services organisations rent the servers from the data centre operators either in terms of sharing the server with others or having a dedicated server, including basic managed services. enterprises utilise the expertise of service providers to help them managed their infrastructure to achieve round-the-clock uptime through 24x7 monitoring and pro-active support. Vendors within the data centre market have expanded their service offering to assist organisations in minimising their operational costs and accessing a specialised skill set with the service providers. The various service offerings available are: In-house Services enterprises manage their own data centre (out of scope of this study). Co-location Services service providers offer pure space rental, including infrastructure support such as power, cooling and physical security to an organisation for its data computing and networking infrastructure. Dedicated or managed hosting service providers utilise a combination of owned and leased space to support their services. They may also lease co-location space. In addition, hosting service providers can also provide a range of managed services, thereby offering a completely outsourced solution. The cost of complete outsourcing is the highest. However, if companies utilise their own equipment, then outsourcing cost can be minimized by opting for only the managed services component. 10
