Data Centre Consolidation. Optimising your investment and security guarantees
-
What challenges are involved in consolidating a data centre?
If setting up a data centre with all the necessary infrastructure and requirements can entail a very high economic and human effort, the consolidation and maintenance is even greater since the technology, with time, can become obsolete and requires constant system updates.
Challenges in data centre consolidation can be found on all fronts: system and application design, storage capacity or type of connectivity between different systems, calculation of power or cooling requirements, and software licensing, etc. Therefore, it is often more convenient to use specialised companies like Arsys. We can help you do this in the most cost efficient way, without large investments and minimising system downtime.

Why consolidate a data centre?
For companies and organisations with multiple data centres, consolidation promises a significant return on investment (ROI). Also, the number of servers has been increasing uncontrollably over the last few years, which in turn generates inefficiencies resulting from under-utilisation of hardware and overlapping software licenses for both infrastructure and applications.
Another major reason for consolidating data centres is the uncontrolled growth of network traffic which, in the case of disorganised infrastructures, is often the major cause of failure and collapse in organisations.
In conclusion, the trend towards consolidation and outsourcing, i.e. having specialised companies manage your data, back it up and safeguard it, is a good option for optimising your investment with maximum security.

This is how we have helped other clients
Traditionally, services tended to be physically housed at their subsidiaries’ location, especially when other entities were being absorbed.
This is why companies in the pharmaceutical sector are opting for the cloud and consolidating the services they had offshored and in obsolete environments. In this way, they get a much more optimised, updated and secure platform, even with computers with outdated software. Thus, they achieve significant cost savings on hardware and operational aspects.
