Data Center Cost Modeling Provides Strategic Insights
Tad Davies has developed a Data Center Cost Modeling Tool to help organizations determine the actual costs of their data centers.
“Determining all-in costs for your data center is a monumental challenge,” says Davies. “Not only is there a myriad of data but also the data elements are most often siloed departmentally. Additionally, data center costs should not be viewed on a point-in-time or an annual cost basis but rather over an extended period such as 5 – 10 years.”
Leveraging over 30 years data center experience, Davies works with clients to build a financial profile customized to their data center.
He helps management answer the following questions:
What are the all-in costs of operating this data center? Are any costs missing or not accurately reflected?
What are my projected data center costs over the next 10 years? Not only operating costs but equipment replacement?
How might I compare my data center costs with other delivery options? What is reasonable?
What metrics should we be tracking relative to costs?
How might we structure our reporting gain further insights into our costs?
How can I use accurate information to make better short-term and long-term decisions?
