Infrastructure Outsourcing Benefits
To calculate Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for a managed infrastructure one must account for expenditures not just for data center costs such as electricity, connectivity and cooling, but also include cost for setting up processes, third party software for monitoring and management, as well as human resource costs to maintain the entire infrastructure. Backups must be in place for every component and every critical staff member which contributes further to the TCO.
The end result is that unless infrastructure is your core business, outsourcing results in lower risks and cost savings, even for environments with thousands of servers. Furthermore, deployment time is reduced when contracting with an already established, professionally managed solution provider. Cost savings will extend across all categories from electricity to human resources and risk is reduced because a professional outfit does this on a daily basis and has the experience to avoid various pitfalls.
Moreover, some arguable intangible benefits result from reduced distractions to business operations, and increased focus of human and financial resources on core business competencies. For example, would it not be better to invest time and money into improving your products, services and features than building out commodity infrastructure.
Benefits of High-Availability and Disaster Recovery
Downtime, whether it occurs on the web or within your internal systems, causes immense and often irreparable damage in terms of immediate lost revenue, negative perceptions from existing and potential customers and results in long term losses that are very significant and difficult to quantify.
One of the key values of HostVentures services is that we make high-availability an affordable option. With minimized downtime risks, costly disruptions are eliminated and managers gain peace of mind and a renewed ability to focus on core business competencies.
