What to know and
ask about to make the
right decision?
Data Center – making the choice

3. #1 Your needs
First and foremost! What types of service your company needs?
Think of colocated enviroment, equipment, machines, breadth of
expected service and make a list.

4. #2 Location
One of Data Center advantages – they don’t have to be close!
However, don’t consider costs only. Think of all obstacles and hazards
your chosen location may involve f.e. legal issues or possibility of
natural disasters in the region.

5. #3 Level of uptime
A typical organization can lose approx. $7,900 /h due to the
inaccessibility of essential content and resources!
Ask how long the provider has been able to maintain a 100%
availability of his services and how he defines „uptime”.

6. #4 Facility
maintenance
Provider has to have specified practices for Data Center infrastructure
management.
Expect immediate answer for question about his practices like the
upkeep of essential systems for example those supplying power and
cooling.

7. #5 Levels of oversight
and control
What level of control and oversight the provider offers?
Ask him about any remote management capabilities and how is he
planning to report the key data to you .
