Appendix
As the foundation for all IT services, your data center keeps your business running. Having a clear strategy for managing and optimizing data center operations is critical. Many organizations are burdened with the high capital investment and operational costs of running multiple data center facilities acquired through organic growth, organizational change or mergers.
Underestimating the complexity of data center moves - the time it will take, the skills required to do the job, the hardware needed - is more the rule than the exception when it comes to relocation and consolidation. This is especially true when taking into account complex application dependencies. No other area within your IT organization requires more effective planning, rigor or efficiently-run operations. Because a data center move is generally a once in a career event for IT professionals, few companies have the expertise on hand to do it well.
