As more companies become digital and shift from individual servers to networked systems, numerous businesses are realizing that the benefits of running server rooms in-house are being outweighed by the advantages of an outsourced solution.

Many companies are yet to realize the cost-saving benefits as well as levels of resiliency their businesses stand to enjoy by outsourcing the management of their servers to a data center service provider. Outsourcing allows you to focus on your business growth and stay competitive while the data center provider ensures that your mission-critical infrastructure is up and running by performing important functions such as server security, power redundancy, cooling, bandwidth connectivity, network security, 24/7 monitoring and support.

 

Here’s why businesses should be exploring the benefits that outsourcing to a data center could provide their organization:

  1. Cost Reduction

Businesses can enjoy a significant reduction in operational expenses as operations leverage economies of scale provided by data centers. Outsourcing allows businesses adopt scalable business models with zero  CAPEX and predictable OPEX. At MDXi, customers can leverage reliable connectivity from multiple providers at the lowest latency in open access, carrier-neutral environment with direct connections to major submarine cables and direct access to global Financial and Business Internet Exchanges, while maintaining complete control of their data and infrastructure.

MDXi also offers value-added services such as remote hands, office and storage spaces to ensure operational stability, continuity and support for all customers at the Data Center.

  1. Mission Critical Redundancy

By colocating mission-critical hardware and software in an outsourced data center where maximum uptime is guaranteed, businesses can surmount the challenge of epileptic power supply and take advantage of multiple active power and cooling systems with concurrently maintainable redundant components.
