Advantages of Outsourcing
Outsourcing data center operations saves your company time, money and trouble.
Why outsource to a data center?
Setting up your own data center or computer room to achieve N+1 availability is an expensive proposition. Apart from the large capital expenditures, there are the high day-to-day operational costs. By outsourcing you are leveraging the substantial investment that a data center proprietor has made in designing, building, managing and maintaining the data center. Outsourcing enables you to spend your budget dollars on other areas of your business. In this scenario, it makes sense to outsource this service to a co-location, network-neutral data center like Herakles. In addition, outsourcing allows you to grow into your future needs without having to commit future capital.
Specific advantages of Bay Area Companies collocating at the Herakles Data Center.
Bay Area data centers, San Francisco data centers and San Jose data centers using Herakles in Sacramento as a disaster recovery site can have the added assurance that Sacramento is in a seismically neutral earthquake zone. In fact, this would hold true for any Northern California data center. Additionally Sacramento is safe and yet in close proximity to the Bay Area which limits the cost of implementing point-to-point connectivity solutions.
Power delivered to Herakles by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) is substantially cheaper than other utility providers in California.
The technology sector has shown significant growth over the last 10 years in the Northern California region and thus has a qualified, technical work force.
