Hosting > Business issues

Data centre space is at a premium and for many organisations, it simply isn’t economical to provide the environment needed for housing IT infrastructure. Power and cooling are critical elements in today’s consolidated, virtualised data centre and for systems where availability is critical, dual network connectivity, diverse routing and power backup systems are a given.

For some, additional capacity is required at short notice or for a temporary period and it’s hard to respond in time.

Maybe others are concerned about the lack of disaster recovery provision. It’s hard to justify an additional data centre, perhaps the existing premises are in the wrong location or simply not far enough apart. Maybe you’re expecting significant change and want to site the infrastructure somewhere independent of your current premises.

Anix provides additional capacity from a choice of locations to augment your own data centres.
