Data Center Solution Provider mean

Data Center Solution Provider are organizations involved in providing offsite data center facilities and infrastructure to businesses / enterprises. In this arrangement, businesses rent or lease access to the solution provider’s data center, using the web servers, storage, networking and other computing resources owned by the Data Center Service Provider.

Typically, a data center solution provider is engaged in a business that can no longer expand its own data center. This may be due to the lack of - physical space, capital, power or cooling, skilled & experienced IT professionals or some other factors. By turning to a data center solution provider, an enterprise essentially outsources all or a portion of its data center to the provider. Then the enterprise accesses the provider’s computing resources remotely across a WAN.

For instance, an enterprise may opt to concentrate on maintaining a small number of mission-critical applications in-house. Instead of increasing workforce, and investing capital in computing hardware and other infrastructure, the enterprise may rent resources from a data center solution provider to manage secondary or momentary applications.

The biggest concerns associated with a data center solution provider are availability and business continuity. For instance, provider’s downtime or any disruption in WAN can lead to unavailability of some applications. Being a business, a data center solution provider, sometimes, may merge with other businesses, suffer staffing issues, and occasionally go out of business, leaving clients with the challenge of recovering or restoring affected applications.
