Leveraging the best

In both enterprise/captive and public data centers, the systems and infrastructure need to be leveraged fully to maximize ROI. For companies that host their online applications with public data centers, in addition to the primary benefit of cost savings, perhaps the biggest advantage is the value-added services available. Enterprises usually prefer to select a service provider,
which can function as a one-stop solution provider and give them an end-to-end outsourcing experience.
Data centers need to strike a careful balance between utilization and spare infrastructure capacity. They need to be able to provide additional infrastructure to their customers who wish to scale their existing contracts with little or no advance notice. Thus it is necessary that there be additional infrastructure at all times. This infrastructure could include bandwidth and connectivity, storage, server or security infrastructure (firewalls, etc.)
