The inaugural data center survey results are in!
Uptime Institute conducted its first annual data center industry survey collecting data from mission critical data center owners and operators worldwide. Participants were contacted by email from March-April 2011, and over 1,000 industry representatives responded. The Institute filtered vendor and consultant responses, focusing on the results from 525 data center executives. Respondents were primarily North America-based, and largely represented by the financial industry, colocation providers, and government agencies. Approximately one-half of the respondents manage over 2,000 servers.

Is your organization at risk of running out of data center capacity? Are you considering moving compute loads to the cloud, increasing virtualization investments, evaluating co-location options, or planning a new data center? Are you responsible to deliver this message and formulate a strategic plan?
Today’s high IT costs and higher consequences for downtime warrant a review of the strategic plan by vendor-neutral industry experts to validate assumptions and ensure best practices.
A strategic plan must incorporate both Facilities and IT infrastructure perspectives and requirements. This will ensure that the strategic solution addresses the enterprise-wide constraints—thereby facilitating executive approval.
Uptime Institute’s Digital Infrastructure Roadmap is a robust evaluation that works to ensure the long-term performance of investment in enterprise computing. The first step is to capture the drivers in terms of business strategy, data center facilities, and IT technology.
Then, validate capacity assumptions and map to optimized scenarios. The report will include actionable recommendations for capacity planning for the next 3-5 years.

Tier Standard: Operational Sustainability
Tier
Standard: Operational Sustainability
was released by Uptime Institute on 1 July 2010. It provides data
center owners and operators with means to unify the uptime potential of
the infrastructure with its management. When these two aspects are
aligned, owners can achieve optimal, sustainable data
center performance. The Operational Sustainability Standard works in
tandem with the Institute’s international Tier Classification System (Tier
Standard: Topology). Long-term data center availability is the resultant combination of the Tier of the infrastructure and the rigorous operations defined and classified in Tier Standard: Operational Sustainability.
