The New Age Data Centers- Lifeline of the Business World

Technological growth has paved way for organizations to be dependent on them. Businesses today find it

difficult to communicate both within and outside the organizational boundaries without the help of Internet

or corporate network. With so much of information flowing across the network, it becomes necessary to

have a safety measures against data theft, disaster or software/hardware failure due to voltage fluctuations.

Though local backups are good for first level of protection, a highly equipped data center is the ideal answer

to such issues.

Wikipedia defines data center as a facility used to house computer systems and associated components,

telecommunications and storage systems. It generally includes backup power supplies, redundant data

communications connections, environmental controls including air conditioning, fire suppression and security

devices. With their roots in the huge computer rooms of the early ages of the computing industry, today's

data centers offer their clientele a full suite of internet data services.

However, the ever changing business needs call for upgrading of the IT infrastructure and its related

software. Bringing all the infrastructure in a single location helps to manage these better. Further, an ideal

data center should be comprehensive, convenient and cost effective with an effective data security plan in

place. The demands for such data centers have prompted leading service providers to offer their clientele

internet data center with facilities for co-location services as well as shared hosting services, bandwidth

services, load balancing, disaster recovery services and dedicated hosting in India.

Exclusive data centers are the choice of the top of the line corporate house with vast number of servers and

other related equipment. However for the small and medium sized business enterprises, the shared hosting

services come in as the first choice. Shared hosting uses a web-based control panel, which is generally

customized for large players. The shared hosting services can either be implemented as a name based one or

an IP based one, or a combination of both. Enterprises opting for shared hosting services from the data

centers enjoy benefits such as

· cost effective service with a number of people sharing the same server placed in data centers.

· Effective server management

· availability of control panels which helps ensures easy creation and launching of websites

· the shared hosting service providers offer their clientele good connectivity and also handles complex

server administration.

In case of most Indian enterprises, the requirement for more freedom and resources in the data centers to

operate their own web applications is the general demand. Thus most companies prefer to avail the

dedicated hosting services. With an entire server allotted to a user, no other user can share the information

on the server or server space. However, since managing technicalities of setting up the server, maintaining

data back ups, granting apt file permissions and other complexities are part of such hosting services, the

service partner’s offer dedicated hosting India services which manages these aspects.
