by Fred Mapp, leading CIO
|
Develop a strategic plan for your data center following the
detailed process outlined by Fred Mapp, leading CIO.
In this whitepaper, Mapp reveals the amount of resources
involved in building your own data center, from real estate to
power and cooling and beyond. His argument for outsourcing your
data center solutions centers on the fact that chief information
officers (CIOs) have more strategic and higher value work on which
to focus.
"The bottom line is, with everything on the typical CIOs agenda,
why manage data center requirements such as space, power and
cooling elements when outsourcers can do it better?
Fred Mapp served as CIO at various Fortune 100 companies and is
presently a consultant and motivational speaker with more than 40
years of experience in IT. He has held key positions at IBM,
InfoSpan Corporation, American Express, Honeywell, AMD and the
World Congress on Information Technology.
