“Everywhere is a threat; threat from Natural Calamities such as ‘Earthquake’, ‘Tsunami’, ‘Fluids’ etc. or Man-Made Disasters viz. ‘Fire’, ‘Data Corruption’, ‘Technical Faults’ etc. However, it’s tough to cope-up with situation forthe companies, and bound to incur the losses”.
The losses can be in following forms:
a) Crash down the IT/Computer Environment,
b) Loose the Physical Assets,
c) Complete Office crash down,
In b or c situations, we can re-create the Infrastructure and stand up again, but in point a, if data is lost, then company is almost crashes down. ‘Recovery of data is next to impossible’.
We suffer from the client data, supplier data,employee data, project data, and blah, blah blah………. ‘The situation is awry even from imagination’!
So ‘what should we do’?“At least, ‘store our data at very initial stage and at the safest point’ where chances of natural- calamities is negligible, human-made mistakes are tough to happen or recovery is available with immediate effect”.
Now in this situation, ‘Datacenter (DC) comes in the picture’;
“Datacenter is a facility for storage the computer systems and associated components such as ‘Telecommunication’, ‘Storage Systems’ which produces redundant ‘Power Supplies’, redundant ‘Data Communications Connections’, ‘Environmental Controls’ and ‘Security Devices’ ”.
Companies can store their Data/Applications/Infrastructure at ‘Dacenters’ available Worldwide as per their choice of ‘Place’, ‘Requirement’and ‘ease’. ‘It is cost-effective method to host your valuable data at safest point’.
Datacenter can also be designed at company’s premises, and Data can be stored from multiple locations. “Classification starts from the simplest ‘Tier1 datacenter’,which is basically a server room, ‘Tier-2’, ‘Tier-3’ to themost stringent level is a ‘Tier-4 datacenter’, which is designed to ‘host mission critical Computer Systems’, with fully redundant sub-systems and ‘compartmentalized security’ zones controlled by ‘biometric access’ controls methods”.
Here, companies have an option to get the data hosting at the Datacenter where possibility of any mishap is ‘down-to-zero’. Data can be in form of ‘Website’, ‘ERP’ or any ‘Application’.
There are the countries such as USA, UK that popularly known for Datacenter Hub to host the websites or data in secured environment.
Now, from last few years, ‘India’, ‘Malaysia’, ‘Germany’, ‘Singapore’ is also proceeding fast to be reckon as a ‘Hosting hub’and offering datacenter services with redundant –‘Power Supply’, ‘Communication Connections’, ‘Environment Controls’ and ‘Security Devices’ .
‘Companies particularly Small-Mid Businesses can have leverage and boost in their Businesses after hosting of their Data at Datacenters’.
