4 things to think about when going to a data centre.

You’ve decided to move your IT infrastructure to a data centre, but what do you need to think about, what do you need to know and what do you need to arrange. In this article, we tell you which 4 things to think about when you want to move to a data centre.

Values

Ultimately, you choose a data centre that suits you as an entrepreneur or your organisation. It’s important to know up front who you are as a company and what you value. For example, is it important to you to have someone on site 24/7 or would you like a fixed contact person? Think carefully beforehand about what kind of support you need from a data centre.

Quantity of servers

Next, it’s important to map out how much space your equipment will take up. How many servers do you want to install and is one rack enough or do you need several?

Network

It’s also important to think in advance about how you want the network to be laid out. How many IP addresses do you need and do you want to use IPv4 or IPv6, for example? Moreover, it is wise to check in advance how much internet bandwidth you will consume.

Power

Based on your servers and network preferences, we can start looking at how much power you will consume, what type of power supply you need and how much power you can expect to use.
