Safe Data – Data as an asset and IT infrastructure
Data has become a discrete asset class for businesses, and this shift has had significant repercussions for the IT infrastructure of companies of all sizes. IT issues related to security, accessibility, flexibility, costs, and sustainability have shed light on on-premises IT and hybrid IT options, in turn highlighting the necessity of effective server rack cooling.
Data empowers businesses to make evidence-based decisions about themselves, other businesses and market sectors. By analysing market trends, customer behaviours, and internal processes, companies can identify opportunities, mitigate risks, and allocate resources effectively. A data-driven approach enhances agility and responsiveness in a competitive landscape, driving growth and achieving strategic objectives. The importance of data has led to its treatment as an asset class and as a critical part of strategic business imperatives.
Keeping data safe has become a priority in businesses, and developing systems to rigorously protect the fast-moving world of internet capability and data from threats is now paramount. Mainly, businesses safeguard data at the interface and point of use through strong access controls and security software. The development of routine systems that update and secure networks, along with staff training, reinforces the basic safeguards. Sometimes, data is encrypted using secure protocols, especially for remote access, and monitoring the use of and access to data is a common practice. Data has become the subject of policy and compliance with internal and external standards, and the demand for expert services in the data security space is at an all-time high.
Micro data centres enable the storage of data on-premises, are close to the source of use and generation and can offer many advantages in an attempt to protect data from external threats. Housing data locally in business provides complete control over the hardware and the data, allowing absolute control over any compliance imperatives. On-premise data storage is suitable for companies with highly sensitive or classified data, as well as those in highly regulated industries. The installation of a micro data centre can also support those businesses who pursue a ‘best of both worlds’ hybrid IT strategy, which involves storing mission-critical data on-site and using the cloud for the rest. Properly cooled micro data centres are the difference between the function and non-function of in-house data storage, and micro data centres with powerful cooling are an essential part of any IT infrastructure.
