IT Managers are faced with a growing and increasingly complex task in the face of budget squeezes and staff cuts. And that’s not to mention the demands of end users and lack of understanding.

What challenges do you face in times when we are expected to do more with less?

We have worked with many of our clients to help them look at better ways of managing their existing infrastrucure which in turn gives them increased productivity and improved efficiency – Our audit services are normally a good starting point when looking to undertake such a project.

Cutting energy use in data centers has become critical for many businesses. Capacity constraints, rising energy costs and the threat of carbon legislation have made the issue an urgent one for some companies.

The first place to look for savings is in the cooling and power distribution systems that account for about half of data center energy consumption.

Red Vista can help you to run a more efficient data centre – take a look how?

We are seeing a rise in interest around Green IT and how we can help organisations become more efficient with how they operate and deliver IT resources from the data centre.

We have seen a rise in demand for our bespoke modular data centres, which tick all of the above boxes.

Food for thought…

- Reduce the power needed per unit of computer production and storage
- Make equipment more efficient
- Make applications more efficient
- Utilise equipment more effectively (most DC’s run below 15% utilisation)
- Reduce the energy it takes to power and cool the equipment
