Technology companies rely on their data center to support manufacturing lines, service activities, R&D projects, and a variety of other essential functions.

Challenge
Given their business focus, technology enterprises understand the need for a strong, reliable, and efficient data center better than organizations in most other industries do. For technology businesses, the data center is a familiar and vital part of everyday activities.

Technology companies, such as software publishers, hardware manufacturers, systems integrators, and service providers, rely on their data center to handle routine business operations and support manufacturing lines, service activities, R&D projects, and a variety of other essential functions.

Aware of all the latest tools and practices, technology organizations require state-of-the art, high-performance systems operating in a flexible environment that supports rapid change. Uptime is critical for virtually all technology organizations, given their heavy reliance on data center operations. For service-oriented technology enterprises, such as hosted software providers, the availability and quality level of network services, including blended bandwidth, is major concern. Technology companies, working on the leading edge of innovation and design, also require a secure environment that guards their systems from hackers and industry spies.

Not surprisingly, technology enterprises tend to be heavy consumers of all major data center infrastructure elements. Although exact needs vary between different types of enterprises, it's not unusual for a technology business to drive processing power, data storage, network services, and energy and cooling resources to their limits. Therefore, technology businesses require a data center that offers abundant and redundant infrastructure elements.
