Australian Data Centre Infrastructure

In a new report, Cloud Computing Innovation: 2011, A Strategic Analysis of the Australian Data Centre Infrastructure and Services Market, the company finds that although security issues top the list of datacentre concerns, many businesses are failing to make adequate investments in people, processes and innovation to redress the issue.

Frame Group director, Karl Medak, said datacentres had been elevated to the business criticality that most executives in the past looked at as their core business; in financial terms, they were now elevated to that level depending on how much they rely on datacentres.

The latest cooling techniques

Businesses outsourcing datacentre requirements will gravitate towards providers who offer the latest cooling techniques, stringent security controls and power specifications capable of supporting the latest generation of high-performance computers, he said.

However, Medak said, "The best way for businesses to embrace datacentre security is not by being dragged into it however rather when they see a benefit in it."
