Do you need a new data center?
Most data centers offer much room for improvement, and these questions will help you discover if yours is one of them:
- Are you following efficiency best practices that can add capacity?
- Do you know that you’re getting everything you should from your assets; what are your utilization rates?
- Do you have dead servers sitting around wasting capacity?
- What percentage of servers have you virtualized; can you boost that?
- Are your racks as dense as they could be?
- Are you/can you take advantage of new, more efficient technologies?
