Data and Control Centres are complex, often costly, and certainly critical components at the heart of any organisation’s information infrastructure. The success of the Data Centre depends upon making the right decisions at every stage of selection, implementation and management. Poor decisions can lead to critical business failures or over-spend, with disastrous consequences.
Effective management of a Data Centre will depend upon a Risk Assessment and Protection Plan that is owned by executive management and followed by all members of staff. Protection goes hand in hand with operational delivery and may also require an operational resilience strategy. Operational resilience must incorporate business continuity and disaster recovery plans to ensure that the Data Centre does not become a single point of failure for the corporation.
