Should You Build or Buy a New Data

so the company is expanding and growing at a rapid pace, and demand requires more space, power and cooling - what will you do? Building a new data center, or purchase (or lease or outsource IT needs to a different provider). Research firm Forrester conducted interviews with IT professionals to analyze the economics of data centers and the classic buy vs. build enigma that is when it is time to prepare for additional capacity, infrastructure and operations.

Leasing (Placing)

What kind of benefits are associated with placement is not reached to build a data center? Forrester reports that initial costs are very few, and most of the spending is operating, not capital.

    More predictable cost model with constantly rising costs over the life of the data center
    Flexible - no additional capacity can be expanded as needed, wastes build outs or extra capacity needed
    More space and power through purchasing power of a supplier
    Experienced and certified professionals bring their expertise to ensure high efficiency and high availability for servers managed.

Building a Data Center

What kind of benefits are associated with building your own system that you can get when you choose placement? Mainly control:

    Full control over one's environment, including access, temperature, etc.
    Low risk of losing the lease
    Ability to leverage and share existing space

What kind of initial costs associated with building your own data center?

Detailed and practical costs of building its own plant includes a large part of the capital costs and upfront. But there are other costs often overlooked that add up quickly:

    Initial planning, design and implementation - 20-25 percent of total pre-construction costs.

    Base building envelope and ownership - only if you do not start with an existing building. According to the Forrester report, the estimated cost of building the data center cover physical security, plus $ 200 per square foot.

    Fire suppression and detection - between $ 20-60000 purchasing agents, equipment and systems for installation - including early smoke detection systems, FM-200, mixed inert gas, etc.
