When it comes to IT infrastructure requirements, data centers are a top priority. Data centers are now seen as a key business parameter, and not as an external facility for storage of information and business operation models. They have become critical for the very functioning of a big business enterprise. Any interruptions in your data center operations can virtually bring down the business to its knees if you don’t have an efficient backup strategy. This was exemplified last year when Hurricane Sandy devastated data centers in New York.

Why Data Centers are Necessary for Enterprise BusinessesThe recent announcement by Internet giants Google and Facebook is a testimonial to the growing popularity of data centers among enterprises. Both companies have announced plans to build data centers in the state of Iowa, with a total investment of over $700 million.

And this trend in data center investment is set to grow. A recent survey conducted by Campos Research & Analysis has found out that this year there will be a 7.7 percentage increase in data center investments as compared to the 7.2 percent last year. Moreover, 98 percent of the 300 plus companies surveyed has responded saying that they will expand their data center footprint this year or probably the next.
