without data centers. Data centers deliver enterprise

value that far exceeds the costs.

companies have had problems achieving this goal, and that’s where

Just like data center auditors add enterprise

value, consultants perform a similar role.

One of the main reasons why data centers lose enterprise value is

inefficiency. Although they might be still making lots of money, the performance of

the data center is often poor.Sponsored by http://www.DataCenterLeadGen.com

This cycle tends to keep adding to itself, creating a terrible waste of company

resources. More often than not this could be servers

that are not computing but still using electricity.

in house. Sponsored by http://www.DataCenterLeadGen.com
