Can Houston Data Centers Adapt to Shrinking Footprints?

Sponsored by DataCenterLeadGen.com

Although it is true that hardware based traditional data centers can still function at the present time,


the likelihood of it being left behind and missing out on a variety of benefits is highly conceivable


Survival in the modern world for data centers depends on significantly capitalizing on the following:


• Cloud computing


• Social media


• Mobile computing


• Emerging technology


Embrace the Cloud Revolution


The emergence of cloud technology has significantly reduced the need for space onsite by 50%


As a result of the rising demand, cloud service providers are expected to grow their footprint enormously and rapidly


Face the Competition Head On


To be relevant in the future, data centers in the area need to adopt the following principles to stay relevant:


• Act like a factory (get ready to process considerably more data faster)


• Turn some parts into a laboratory (analyze and provide insights)


• Be agile and innovative (fast paced change demands bimodal IT)


• Manage a variety of risks (have a broad approach to risk in the modern digital world)


• Ensure that internal data centers can connect into broader hybrid topology


• Embrace change (new technology will need to be managed in a different way)


Houston, We Don’t Have a Problem


Established players in the Houston market have already invested heavily on expanding their infrastructure:


• CyrusOne (Northwest Houston)


• Digital Realty Trust (Northside Greenspoint)


• Internap (Downtown Area)


With these major data centers all expanding in the area and with new entrants investing heavily,


it’s no surprise that real estate firms have also been working on taking advantage of the boom


(Stream Reality wholesale campus in The Woodlands, Greater Houston is almost completely leased)


As footprints shrink and expand, adaptability will ensure that data centers cope with change
