8 Reasons Companies Outsource Their Primary Data Center

As an organization, you probably have faced the challenge of whether or not you should house your data center internally or externally. It can be a hard decision, especially if you’re in a regulated industry such as healthcare or finance, which requires an even higher level of compliance and protection. While most people think that housing their data center internally means that they can protect their data better or resolve issues quicker, that isn’t necessarily true.

In fact, there are a lot of myths surrounding housing your internal data center, and we debunk some of them in our whitepaper, “8 Reasons Companies are Outsourcing Their Primary Data Center.” In this whitepaper, we talk about:
