Connectix's technical consultant Barry Elliott is quoted in an article published in ACN this month.
The major shift in data centres has been the adoption of widely-accepted standards, giving organisations a defined basis on which to make decisions regarding their needs. Specifically, the system of tiers - ranging from no-redundancy Tier I to ultra-resilient Tier IV - allows enterprises to judge exactly what their requirements are.
"A multinational bank that measures its turnover in millions of dollars an hour will easily justify three or more Tier IV data centres, as the whole project is likely to represent less than one hour's turnover," explains Elliott. "A small local college or authority will not have the same pressures to remain online 24x7, and so will more likely adopt a lower cost Tier I design."
