What: A free, upcoming seminar will help businesses understand the difference between building or buying data center space. The “Build vs. Buy” seminar is hosted by TEAM Companies.
Deciding whether to lease data center space or build a data center requires businesses to consider the financial risk/investment, ROI, operational flexibility, future growth, and virtualization in order to determine the right solution.
Who should attend: CIO’s looking for an understanding of assessing growth, capacity, consolidation, risk, and benefits related to operating a data center or colocating equipment within a data center facility. The conversation will focus on the most effective and efficient ways to understand and determine a company’s future data center strategic “Road Map.” Discussion will center on real life challenges and solutions such as:
* Determining the company’s future Data Center strategy;
* Why the company’s data center always seems to be running out of power or cooling;
* The advantages/disadvantages of building a data center or using a current hosted data center facility;
* Recognizing when the company will run out of Data Center capacity; and
* Risk of cooling and power capacity issues related to consolidating servers, storage, and other equipment.
