“Traditional enterprises with older data centers don’t want to rebuild them or build new ones due to high capital costs and a desire to have someone else manage the physical infrastructure. Colocation is often used as a replacement for traditional data centers.”[1]
According to a recent Gartner report, by 2025, 80% of enterprises will close their traditional data centers, compared to only 10% today.[2] The realization of colocation benefits is becoming more prevalent and is going to continue influencing enterprises to put their core business practices first while shifting other functions off-site. With organizations look outward for their data center strategy, Panduit focuses our attention on the colocation providers that are needed to support the incoming wave of businesses seeking their services.
As a colocation or cloud hosting provider, there is a paramount responsibility to maintain uptime for (in many cases) multiple customers. Because of this, colocation providers need ways to optimize cooling, better manage power usage, and to build a scalable, strong physical infrastructure that can scale to meet customers’ growing demands – all while keeping costs under control.
Panduit offers a complete family of Converged Infrastructure Solutions for colocation and cloud hosting providers that include hardware, software, and services that can help you:
- Customize a complete pre-configured cabinet with power, layer one infrastructure, and cooling optimization to streamline deployments and reduce work on the data center floor
- Maximize revenue and profitability through optimized cooling, space utilization, lowered power, and new value-added service opportunities
- Improve productivity by accelerating data center deployment tasks and enabling intelligent management of data center assets, freeing up staff resources to work on more strategic projects
- Develop a positive path forward for colocation providers to cost-effectively support and adapt to evolving technologies and changing business demands
- By addressing unique physical infrastructure power, cooling, space and connectivity requirements, Panduit enables the ability to optimize and maintain operational performance while reducing costs to achieve a faster return on investment (ROI)
