The Impact of Data Center and Server Relocation on Networked Application Performance: A Seven-Step Strategy for Project Success

Tags:
data center

Overview According to analysts, 88% of enterprises are currently in the early phases of either consolidating servers or executing a major data center relocation. These consolidations and relocations bring measurable benefits: They reduce Information Technology (IT) costs, improve business continuity and information security, optimize service management, and help comply with federal and industry regulations. With so many benefits, why haven't more companies started and completed such initiatives? According to Gartner, the primary factors inhibiting these potentially beneficial projects include internal politics and pressures, often based on business owners' concerns that their critical applications and services will be adversely affected by such moves.
