Why do large businesses use data centers?

Data is one of the most valuable resources for almost every organization and the backbone of business today. Data drives processes, sales, customer relationships, and development opportunities. 

The problem: The more we rely on data, the more important it is where and how we store it, how much it will cost us if we lose it, and how we manage access to it. 

This is where the strategic role of data centers comes into play, which are no longer a luxury needed only for large companies with many processes, employees, and customers. 

Even the biggest ones don't build but rent data centers

You might be surprised to learn that even technology giants, like OpenAI, Microsoft, Netflix, and Google, do not build and maintain 100% of their data center resources independently. On the contrary, they prefer to rent capacity in specialized data centers worldwide. Only part of the reasons for this are:

• Building modern high-class data centers is not only expensive but also a complex and time-consuming endeavor;
• Designing all the connectivity, security, safety, cooling systems, etc., requires specific technical resources, engineering experience, and expertise in the field. 
• Maintenance is constant, around the clock, and requires the presence of teams of system administrators, network specialists, and other engineers

Example: What would you do if you need to quickly reach a remote place around the world? If you are a sufficiently large company, you could probably build an airplane, but it would be much more reasonable to use the services of an airline. Large corporations and technology giants make similar choices when they need data center resources. 

The data center services market is on the rise

The consumption of data center services is growing and will continue to develop with even more dynamism in the coming years. A significant part of the factors are related to:

• The increasing volume of digital data generated by organizations and individuals;
• The shift to cloud solutions and remote work for many companies;
• Increasing demands and stricter regulations for security, continuity, and access control to data

High-class data centers have the capacity to operate under such conditions while protecting their clients from risks such as:  

Business shutdown during power supply maintenance

Even if you are confident in the stability of the service, there's something you cannot avoid: power supply interruptions during maintenance, which utility companies are required to perform twice a year. Do you want to shut down your business for half a day or a whole day while this process takes place? If the servers are in your office, the business will remain without access to critical systems for hours or days. 

Data centers solve this problem with the help of backup power supplies, UPS systems, and generators that maintain operation even during a complete power outage. In such cases, business employees and clients do not even realize that the power has gone out. 

Work interruption due to inaccessible data and systems

Another factor for the growth in the use of data center services is the globalization of businesses, the presence in different markets with numerous office locations, and remote teams that need constant connectivity with each other. For such businesses, it is absolutely essential that centralized critical information, such as accounting data, ERP systems, or client databases, is accessible from anywhere without interruption. 

Data centers provide exactly this advantage with high-speed connections and low latency, uninterrupted server access, a controlled environment, constant monitoring, and the ability for expansion and redundancy in case of growth. 

This is why data centers represent not just a place for server storage but also a strategic infrastructure that ensures reliability, safety, and efficiency for businesses, employees, and clients.
