Coreix Managed Servers

Space at a premium in your data centre? Steve Pinder, GlassHouse Technologies (UK) principle consultant suggests you do some spring cleaning.

Steve comments: New data centres are being built at a rapid pace as existing ones reach capacity. At the same time newer, faster and smaller servers, storage arrays, and switches are continually being purchased to compliment or replace legacy equipment that has passed its useful lifetime. IT staff worldwide love getting their hands on new equipment to give it a road test and see how it will make their lives that little bit easier. Unfortunately, they usually forget about the other factors that could make their lives much easier and save their organisation bundles of money at the same time, but often these are inherent in the old equipment that they have just replaced.
