The tool is designed to simplify roadmaps and strategies for data center transformation.
Dimension Data has released a new maturity tool that helps organizations assess their capabilities and prioritise initiatives for building a next-generation data center. The Data Center Development Model — the first assessment that covers such a broad spectrum of the data center — was created off the back of strong demand from clients seeking guidance and actionable plans to make their data centers more responsive and agile.
According to Steve Joubert, group executive for Data Centers at Dimension Data, global competitive pressures brought on by social, mobile, analytics and cloud have had a tremendous impact on data centers to transform to remain relevant. “Every client we speak to, is looking for ways to transform their data centers to become more responsive to business needs. This is not an easy undertaking.”
