Business Challenge

To minimise costs and maximise agility, organisations need to find faster and smarter ways to provision IT services.

At the operational hub of IT service delivery, the datacenter is the appropriate starting point for a transformation that will drive optimisation and automation across the IT infrastructure.

With datacenter operations under pressure from spiralling power costs, space constraints, regulatory requirements and expensive modernisation investments, internal IT resources are increasingly insufficient to meet business demand.

To escape these internal constraints, organisations need to identify and implement new ways to manage their datacenter assets through internal resources, external expertise or an optimal combination of the two.

Computacenter solution

Computacenter's Managed Datacenter encompasses the full range of service delivery options – from tailored IT managed services to hosting services and dedicated and shared utility-based cloud solutions.

Our datacenter services are tailored to meet an organisations specific requirements and include:

Managed Hosting: provides organisations with space in our datacenter facilities, ranging from tier II to IV, with additional services to simplify day-to-day management.

Managed Server and Storage: provides reliable, secure and flexible 24x7 management of an organisation's datacenter infrastructure assets, either on-premise or hosted at one of our facilities.

For organisations wanting to move toward cloud delivery, Computacenter's C3 platform provides a pragmatic approach to the adoption of cloud services. It provides specific guaranteed outcomes on a pay-per-use utility basis. These services can be delivered on or off premise or as a shared solution from one of our UK datacenters. Services include:

C3Infrastructure: provides organisations with a utility-based computing infrastructure based on a standard architecture.
