Co-Location

The cost of building your own data center rises every year. Not only are fixed costs going up, but so is the cost of maintaining high availability. The number of kilowatts per square foot is quadrupling in some cases due to higher density servers, storage, and networking gear. In fact, it’s common for a server’s power costs to exceed the cost of the server itself over a five-year period.

The High Cost of Managing Your Own Equipment

On average a high availability data center cost between $1,000 and $1,500 per square foot to build. Staffing and the cost of power and maintenance are on top of that number and go directly to the bottom line annually.

Today, companies of all sizes are focusing on their core competencies-not implementing and supporting ever-changing server, data storage, network and security technologies. With capital expenditures coming under ever-increasing scrutiny the direction is to have service providers who specialize in data center management provide the service, and in many cases with higher levels of availability and security.

If managing data center infrastructure is not a core competency, you need DBSi.

Co-location is the first step in freeing yourself from the pressures of data center management pressures caused by an ever-changing technical environment with moving targets. Co-location puts the burden of your infrastructure issues squarely on DBSi building and expanding data centers, ensuring availability, implementation and management of physical security, and so on.

DBSi is one of a handful of data centers in the country that supports dense technologies like server blades in a minimal amount of square footage. In many cases our Advanced Technology Centers allow hosting and disaster recovery services to be offered in 20-50% of the space taken in conventional data centers while improving the processing and longevity of installed equipment through improved cooling.
