DataSpace and iKS-Consulting issue an analytical report ‘Practical Recommendations for Choosing a Commercial Data Centre’
5 September 2018, Moscow - DataSpace and iKS-Consulting have issued an analytical report on choosing a commercial data centre (CDC). The report presents an approach based on industry experts’ many years of experience and an analysis of customer requirements for commercial data centres.
Data from iKS-Consulting testifies to the sustainable development of the Russian CDC market. During the period 2016-2018, the average annual increase in the number of racks will be 21%, and in 2018, according to preliminary estimates, this number will increase to 44,500. Experts highlight a rise in the level of customer confidence in CDCs and a drop in the construction of companies’ own sites as some of the factors stimulating market development.
As shown by an iKS-Consulting study, when choosing a commercial data centre to host essential IT infrastructure, customers make a thorough and multifactor analysis of key parameters and carry out comprehensive risk assessment. After summarising and systematising the data that have been obtained, iKS-Consulting and DataSpace have issued a joint analytical report that examines the main areas of concern, including legal and financial concerns, transport accessibility, safety, fault tolerance, production and operational aspects. The report examines the main stages in the procedure for choosing a CDC and makes recommendations.
