Emerson Network Power Identifies Three Areas of Opportunity For Collocation Providers
Improving availability, efficiency, and scalability will lead to collocation business growth.
Emerson Network Power has identified three areas of opportunity collocation (colo) facilities must flawlessly meet to motivate more data center owners to move some or all applications to a colo.
“For most businesses, running a data center is not a core competency,” said Peter Panfil, vice president, global power, Emerson Network Power. “So, as data centers have grown in importance, complexity and cost, and many have outgrown capacity, collocation has become an increasingly attractive option. Organizations now may choose the colo business model — from boutique purpose-built colos to remote managed IT services (RMIT) to colos that offer cloud services — that provides the level and type of services they need.”
