Why data center operators are investing in more redundancy
When Uptime Institute recently asked over 300 data center managers how the pandemic would change their operations, one answer stood out: Two-thirds expect to increase the resiliency of their core data center(s) in the years ahead. Many said they expected their costs to increase as a result.
The reasoning is clear: the pandemic — or any future one — can mean operating with fewer staff, and possibly with disrupted service and supply chains. Remote monitoring and preventive maintenance will help to reduce the likelihood of an incident, but machines will always fail. It makes sense to reduce the impact of failure by increasing system redundancy.
