This is one of the biggest dilemmas that organizations are sometimes unsure of. There are a few basic questions that the organization must ask itself before selecting the type of data center. The questions that organizations should have an answer to are as follows: What scale are you planning to achieve? Usually organizations larger in size, prefer building their own data centers (Enterprise Data Centers). Companies such as Google, Amazon (AWS), Microsoft (Azure), Oracle, Ali Baba have their own data centers across the world. Hence, the larger your organization is, it is better to have your own data center. If your organization has been investing huge amounts in maintaining data, then it is better to build your own data center. What Security Compliance do you require? If there is any specific security compliance required in the Industry you are operating in, and if major players do not have such compliance, then you may need to build your data center separately. Although cloud players and co-location service providers are ensuring customized data center solutions to customers, security compliance and technological adoption may be common across industries. Future Scalability? If you expect your company’s operations to expand drastically in the future, then you should look for either Hyperscale co-location business or cloud business, depending on the size and scale of the organization. Usually cloud services offer unlimited scalability, resulting in much wider adoption than physical data centers that offer limited scalability and are slightly more expensive. Cost Budgeting At the end everything boils down to the cost to the company, for using such a service without hampering the operational efficiency. Companies would prefer the most affordable solution for the given set of service applications that are required. At the end, storage is expensive, and not just the underlying capacity, but the hardware and software infrastructure that makes data durable and quickly accessible. If you can, like the hyperscalers, build your own storage hardware, file systems, access methods and formats (block, file, object), and data protection schemes, you can bring the cost of storage down even further. This is precisely why all of the hyperscalers have done this, and why more enterprises will follow suit. Data centers are considered to be the backbone of a variety of services offered including Web-hosting, ecommerce, social networking, and a variety of more general services such as software as a service (SAAS), platform as a service (PAAS), and grid/cloud computing.
