Data center consolidation can reduce the cost and complexity of managing multiple data centers.
As the cost to manage and maintain multiple, and in some cases outdated, data centers rises, businesses are beginning to look for ways to consolidate and save money. Today's high-density environments are putting a strain on data centers built in the telecom boom/bust era on the late 1990's. In addition, the cost to replace a UPS or PDU can be prohibitive for a business looking to improve EBITDA.
Consolidating overburdened and underperforming data centers is growing reality for enterprises, governments and service providers. To support the migration from in-house server closets to cloud-based services and virtualization, IT needs an environment that is reliable and capable of supporting high-density computing infrastructure.
High-Density Environment
Today's business and consumer applications demand greater processing and bandwidth capacity. Data centers must be able to keep pace with this demand for high-density computing environments. Unfortunately, many data centers that were built during the telecom boom of the late 1990's are not able to support today's power requirements. IO has designed and engineered its data centers to accomodate the power requirements of some of the world's largest enterprises, governments and service providers. IO's high-density colocation cabinet can support up to 2,500 watts per square foot in a 45U footprint and is ideal for consolidating the capacity of a cage or suite into one or more cabinets.

Virtualization
Consolidating data centers often involves consolidating the physical hardware that critical IT assets reside on. Virtualization allows for more computing capacity to be done on less physical hardware. IO offers virtualized computing capacity for businesses looking to consolidate their data center operations. IO's private cloud computing service is a service that provides access to an enterprise-grade computing environment - on-demand. And because IO's private cloud computing infrastructure resides in IO's data centers, businesses can feel confident that their mission-critical IT operations will be available 24x7xForever.
