Hi ,

If there is one thing that is certain in the current environment, it’s uncertainty. From COVID 19 to unprecedented racial tensions and unemployment crisis, we are facing a fluctuating and unpredictable economic recovery. These factors are affecting every single business, and business continuity across many sectors.

Business continuity can be disrupted by any number of events and preparing for them is often called "Black Swan" planning, disaster planning, or at its most basic, unexpected event planning. Anything from natural disaster to personal issues that disrupt the best of plans can be considered a threat to business continuity. IT infrastructure is critical to maintaining that continuity, from cashflow strategies to the protection of data. The right decisions when it comes to technology can be the difference between success and failure.

For many businesses, their data is their business. When it comes to data centers, it is the only thing that keeps them going. But how does the right infrastructure help with cashflow?

• Optimized Use of Space - Real estate costs money and using the right physical racks and Zero U Cable Managers means servers take up less room
  
  
• Flexibility - One of the keys to business survival at times like these is flexibility. Being able to shift the application or data and to lock down and suspend use of non-critical assets is vital
  
  
• Increased ROI - While some businesses will struggle, others will shift and have critical projects that must be prioritized. This is a great way to increase ROI in challenging circumstances
  
  
• Process optimization - Not only does your hardware need to be configured correctly, but your processes should be streamlined and as efficient as possible

The more efficient your IT systems, both physical and software wise, the greater your cost savings will be, and the more easily you can stabilize cashflow. Learn more about IT Infrastructure and Business Continuity.
